The Gift of Music lyrics

Far in the distant future

Beyond the pages of a time

Cold-blooded wicked tyrants

Threaten the freedom of mankind

Corruption, lust and greed

Define the new nobility

Changing the course of history

Across a vast north empire

Most people struggle to survive

Living a meek existence

Where they're secludedly oppressed

We are living day to day

Forced to bear the lion's share

People just don't have the time for music anymore

But no one seem to care

My friends have seen the chosen one

A quest of freedom has begun

He'll be the answer to our prayers

There was a god among us

Who's seen the writing on the wall

He is the revolution

He'll be the one to save us all

My brother Gabriel

He's all the hope we need

Shining like a beacon in the night

Should give Ravenskill

A reason to believe

Music is the gift he brings

The songbird stops to listen when he sings
