The West and the East were waging war. . .
Draco, the West's great hero, thinks of his love, Maria.
Is she safe? Is she waiting?
Draco:
Oh Maria!
Oh Maria!
Please hear my voice!
How I long to be with you!
Impressario:
The forces of the West fell,
and Maria's castle was taken.
Prince Ralse, of the East, took her hand by force,
but she never stopped yearning for Draco. . .
Maria:
Oh my hero, so far away now.
Will I ever see your smile?
Love goes away, like night into day.
It's just a fading dream.
I'm the darkness, you're the stars.
Our love is brighter than the sun.
For eternity, for me there can be,
Only you, my chosen one. . .
Must I forget you? Our solem promise?
Will autumn take the place of spring?
What shall I do? I'm lost without you.
Speak to me once more!
Draco:
Come, Maria, follow my lead.
Maria:
We must part now, my life goes on.
but my heart won't give you up.
Ere I walk away, let me hear you say,
I meant as much to you. . .
So gently, you touched my heart.
I will be forever yours.
Come what may, I won't age a day,
I'll wait for you, always. . .
Chancellor:
Prince Ralse is looking for a dance partner.
Leave the past behind.
Our kingdom is adopting the spirit of the East.
Impressario:
The survivors of the West attack!
Ralse:
Impossible!
Soldiers:
Attack!!
Darco:
Wait!!
Maria
Maria:
Darco, I've waited so long.
I knew you'd come.
Ralse:
Maria will finally have to become my queen
for the rest of my life.
I'll keep you near...
Darco:
It's a duell.
