Lyrics

Under triple moons ascending beyond the forest's veil,
I tread the path to Wayreth Tower where the bravest fail.
Mortal flesh and fragile bone, my fate remains unseen,
The Test awaits to show the truth of who I've always been.

Illusions twist around me, phantoms pierce my mind,
Three trials rend my soul apart, ambition leaves me blind.

Master of the present! Master of the past!
Even time now bends its knee, my power holds it fast.
Though darkness wraps around me, I will command the light,
Whisper "Shirak"—behold, the sun blazes bright.
I am the master of the present and the past.

Visions of my brother's face, a choice I can't evade,
Compassion battles with desire, a deadly masquerade.
Golden skin and hourglass eyes, a curse upon my soul,
The price I pay for arcane might exact a heavy toll.

Arcane flames consume me, reborn from ash and dust,
The weight of power crushes me, yet rise again I must.

Master of the present! Master of the past!
In solitude, I guard the tower, shadows I have cast.
The gate unlocks for me alone to quench my arcane thirst,
I am the master of the present and the past.

A voice chants ancient verses, powers uncontrolled,
An elder mage from epochs gone, intentions yet untold.
An elf obscured in twilight, the darkness he admires,
Bound by fate to secret paths and Nuitari's fires.

The Test has stripped my youth away, my soul now bent and strained,
With hourglass eyes, I witness time decay what once remained.
But power surges through my veins; at last, it's mine to wield,

The silent shade becomes my risk, a fate yet to be sealed.
The Dark Queen trembles as the final act draws nigh,
The destiny of all depends on twins beneath the sky.

Master of the present! Master of the past!
With Fistandantilus entwined, my shadow now is cast.
Even time now bows to me, for pleasure and for might,
I am the master of the present and the past.

And though the night surrounds me, I will command the light,
Whisper "Shirak"—the world ignites in radiant sight.

Master of the present! Master of the past!
Through the trials of the ancients, my destiny is vast.
The Dark Queen wields her magic; our battle scars the stars,
With the archmage’s power, I bear immortal scars.

I am the master of the present and the past,
Time itself now yields to me as shadows are recast.
Echoes of legends linger, our fates forever masked,
The black-robed mage arises—my glory unsurpassed.

I am the master of the present and the past,
Alone I stand within the tower, guarding from the dark.
Master of the Present!
Master of the Past!

And though the night surrounds me, I will command the light,
Whisper "Shirak"—the world ignites in radiant sight.

Master of the present! Master of the past!
Through the trials of the ancients, my destiny is vast.
The Dark Queen wields her magic; our battle scars the stars,
With the archimage’s power, I bear immortal scars.

I am the master of the present and the past,
Time itself now yields to me as shadows are recast.
Echoes of legends linger, our fates forever masked,
The black-robed mage arises—my glory unsurpassed.

I am the master of the present and the past,
Alone I stand within the tower, guarding from the dark.
Master of the Present!
Master of the Past!
