about
First episode.
Prince Thostar is the heir to the crown of the reign of Kajtar, but he suffers from madness since he is even born. His mother has become the crazy queen for she couldn't accept she wasn't ready to defend her region and Thekar, the Dagger of the Gods. She was in charge, and she lost. Thanks to the Gods, her friend and companion got to save the Dagger and the child she just had, but Kajtar and the queen couldn't recover from that last hit.
Thostar is growing up evil, abandoned, and seeing, as his mother, illusions that are not there.
lyrics
There once was a prince of a far-off land,
Abandoned by sense.
—I’ll be the king, I’ll be the king.
He will slay in delight.
—I will fight, I’ll die,
For the crown shall be mine,
In time, welcome the King.
His name, Thostar, will remain in our memories.
His insanity led to war; Kajtar’s biggest brawl.
Closing his eyes, what he sees,
Is far from real, and he rides,
To the wild, fierce and harsh.
Heir to the crown of the kingdom,
Insanity is his vast motive,
Nightmares hunt our prince in the night,
Forever we’ll hear the sound of that fight.
—I was born in solitude,
As my mother gave me this curse.
My father fought for Kajtar,
As he forgot about his son.
I wanted to see him die,
To rise and fight my own fight.
Because what I needed to become the king,
Was to show what I was worth,
Or let the old be replaced by the young.
Closing his eyes, what he sees,
Is far from real, and he rides,
To the wild, fierce and harsh.
Heir to the crown of the kingdom,
Insanity is his vast motive,
Nightmares hunt our prince in the night,
Forever we’ll hear the sound of that fight.
—I would let myself be killed by,
An axe, a sword, if that gave me the crown,
But I am worth to fight, bring home the trigg,
That I shall hunt.
