The Last Trial - fantasy musical
Those eyes, that look through flesh
They see life fading away
They won’t let themselves be deceived
They can no longer love.
How can one love void and dust?
How can one step over a grave?
Even god changes
The world is full of deceit
The one that saw Darkness once
Will never trust in Light.
Every sacred thing came to naught
And his eyes
will not lie to him...
Like the sand in an hourglass
Light passes through those eyes.
I borrowed this ability
And the reckoning is at hand!
If you meet a beast — strike,
But if you can't kill it — leave
Because the one who survived fire
Has hundredfold more power!
The one that saw Darkness once
Will never trust in Light.
Every sacred thing came to naught
And his eyes will not lie to him..
God, let us speak frankly!
I know that evil can’t be eliminated merely by sincere truth,
But you gave me a sign! So let it be -
I’m the only one who can cross
his dark path…
I have never met Evil in the past,
But I can stare dauntless
In your enemy’s eyes.
You have predicted it in my dreams, so give me some strength
To tame the flame without getting my palms burned.
God, this is not my will, but Thine.
Not mine, but yours.
The Will that is happening is not be mine, but Thine.
Not mine, but yours.
Not mine, but Thine.
Good evening, Revered Daughter.
Good evening, mage.
I have heard a lot...
...about you.
I came to warn you, magician!
Paladine knows about your plan.
He warned me throught a sign in my dream -
Therefore, I came to tell you this:
Even your colleagues of darkness
Are afraid to mention you in their talks at night.
The whole world trembles before thee,
But for me, it is different!
Repent before it is too late!
Listen to the voice of God!
Are you only to speak the voice of your God? Are you?
Do not show false modesty!
I know that you are strong
In your sincere faith.
But, perhaps this is a danger?
And your sign is a warning?
..Your soul is pure as the first snow,
And you are fearless, Revered Daughter!
However, you might have not understood the sign...
Maybe, you were sent to help me?
Help you? Me?!
Let me share you my view of this World,
then you shall understand that I am not your enemy.
By all means, Dear Warlock, proceed!
I listen to you carefully.
The Creator of this world is merciful, isn't he?
He created the darkness because he wished for it, don't you think?
Therefore, you should accept that it is under his control...
God is all-powerful!
Darkness and Lightness are the wings Of the world which soars in space.
Darkness is not the embodiment of evil, it exists to balance power.
Sprout rises toward light, but the grain is born from the darkness of soil
You're right once again...
The dark warlock does not always intend harm, he can use the forces of evil,
For a goal which could be good...
The one who is aware of the power Of the Goddess of Darkness, Is a real wizard.
He is her servant.
Her servant and her foe.
Do you know that it is a dark wizard who locked Takhisis In the Abyss?
Do you know that sorcerers of both darkness and lightness are guardians for its gates?
I, alone, will dare to do it, And therefore, I'll be damned by the others of my kind,
I shall walk into the Abyss...
It will not happen!
Majere?... Raistlin... What is wrong with you?
It doesn't matter. Let us continue our talk.
Let me ease your pain...
If you please...
I see, compassion is stronger Than prejudice, for you.
You have to be treated in the temple...
No, not at this time...
It is a bit early for more, What you know ...
Is enough for now!
If you want to know more, Then follow me.
You will help or you will try to stop me - To do the will of your God.
Make up your mind,
but for now: Farewell.
In the light of hymns and prayers,
In the coolness of the temple's columns,
My soul has been waiting for this fire from the start.
And now that it’s ablaze!
It rushes towards me!
I uncovered it in the eyes of the Foe.
Let it wound me!
Let it burn my hands!
Where there is fear - there will be strife.
Where there is pain - there will be love!
I only ask you this: Do not stand in the way
Of my perilous gamble!
I will overcome this ordeal
or I will die.
Face to face!
Eye to eye!
So he is my enemy!
So he is my friend!
Listen! Here’s the sound of a heartbeat...
do not weaken your grasp
My Father!..
And give me a chance to fight with this fire,
Just once…
Just once!
Ferocious eyes gleam!
I can't look away!
It's a trial for me, Father!
And it's my reward!
I'll bring you this monster,
I have faith in this:
Your proud enemy will bow before You!
I believe it!
Father, please, let me…
I strongly believe it!
Who ordered potatoes?
Who ordered soup?
Let me pour you some more wine!
Here’s your treat,
it’s on the house!
Hey, lad, watch your hands! I’m my husband’s wife!
And where is this husband?
Did he vanish into thin air?
Here you are then, on your own, cooking and serving food!
On her own, so what of it?
We will help!
So you have a rest and take a seat!
Good people! I am looking for a guide to the Grove of the Dead...
To the Dead’s Grove?
It’s no joke!
My lady, it’s best to give up this idea!
The one who sent you to that forest,
Obviously wishes for your death!
The mages enchanted the Grove,
So that those who don’t possess any magic powers
Don’t come near the tower
And now there is hardly any way to get there.
No one knows, what hides in the Grove:
The Grove never returns its dead,
And the living, as long as they stay alive,
Are stranded in its mass of fallen trees.
No one knows, what hides in the Grove:
The Grove never return its dead,
And the living, as long as they stay alive,
Are strayed in its mass of fallen trees.
So, no one is coming with me?
Not even to take me to the Grove?
Well then…
I shall go alone.
It’s certain death!
Mad priestess!
Where are you going, wait! At least wait for my husband!
Yes, he is brave enough to do it, To assist this priestess!
Let Majere Help her reach the Grove.
Majere?
Majere! Our glorious Majere,
Our compatriot, Caramon, the Hero!
Majere, Majere, Our glorious Majere,
Our compatriot, Here he is!
My friends, look!
Raistlin sent back my letter...
Unread…
Still sealed…
Written on it: "I have no brother".
No brother...
No brother!
There was a time When we fought back to back In the war,
A war that united us!
No brother!
Did I not protect him in our childhood?
But he doesn't need protection anymore...
No brother!
I have no brother...
Wife, pour more wine!
Let us say our goodbyes to the young maple!
The one I planted with my brother,
It was chopped down!
With this axe
This gentle trunk was wounded...
Caramon, you’re making a fool of yourself!
I should have dumped you a long time ago!
Stop nagging him, Tika!
He said he’d quit drinking tomorrow morning.
Look, he knocked my door down!
This drunken behemoth!
You can’t mean that he is also a Majere?
His mother said he was.
Good grief, it’s about time
To make him quit all of his drinking and brawling!
Majere used to be such a nice fellow,
And now every single thing he does, is an outrage!
All of these heroic deeds, with swords and dragons
Would spoil anyone, it’s unavoidable.
There’s no point in wandering all around the world!
When you were born in a village – sit and stay calm!
What help is there for it?
Everything’s so complex.
What is there to do?
The whole family is mad.
Speak or not, he cannot hear you!
He cares nothing for family honor!
His brother is subtle and sublime…
He does not really act like his brother.
His brother is toying with him again:
To send such a letter, look at it!
He can go to hell with gully dwarves,
With his tower and all of his sorcery!
Get up, you drunk!
Wife, leave me alone.
Good grief, it’s about time
To give those wizards a slap on the wrist!
Majere used to be such a nice fellow,
And now look at him – crying shame!
All these staffs, dragons and towers
Would spoil anyone, it’s unavoidable.
There’s no point in wandering all around the world!
When you were born in a village – sit and stay calm!
But this priestess has lost her mind!
Why are you all standing like a statue?
She’s going there alone!
Are you a man or what?!
All of this is your brother’s fault!
He played with her head!
Bring her back!
Caramon, have you fallen asleep?
Here, take your sword!
And grab your helmet too!
I’m done with them rusting here!
Go and protect her!
Go, protect her!
All heavenly omens agree,
The time for purification has come...
I see hundreds of anxious faces.
You know, Father, we do not lead this mass in vain
The flame of Your altar will spill over the world like the dawn!
Fair Istar,
rise from your knees!
It is time to put an end to the Kingdom of Darkness!
Fair Istar,
my life, my pain…
Do not be silent,
here comes the Kingpriest!
Our fair Istar, rise from your knees!
It is time to put an end to the Kingdom of Darkness!
Hail Paladine,
our faith is pure!
God is with us,
our Kingpriest is with us!
God is with us,
our Kingpriest is with us!
God is with us,
our Kingpriest is with us!
Everything in the name of faith!
In the name of faith!
Everything in the name of faith!
In the name of faith!
Law, order and justice –
This is what our goal is!
I am forced to take severe measures
In the name of good.
These are temporary difficulties
On our way to the Kingdom of Light
Everything in the name of faith!
In the name of faith!
In the name of good
Let us eliminate the unclean races,
Objectors – to jail!
Heretics – to the stake!
Who is not with us – is against us!
People – I give you one last chance,
Listen!
EVERYTHING
IN THE NAME OF
FAITH!
Faith! Faith! Faith! Faith!
It’s strange to me, that Heaven is silent,
That sunrise and sunset stay unchanged,
When a friend hides his true intent,
When an enemy reveals the truth to me!
It’s strange to me, my brothers in faith!
Have you not humbled your heart?
Only the chosen one must pass judgment.
Who chose you to judge these lives?
You overestimate yourselves, brothers!
Who gave you the right, who in here stands higher than God?
Silence, sister! Your mind is in darkness!
Oh Paladine, open his eyes!
I am chosen to extinguish evil with fire!
You’re blind! You’ll be the first to perish in it!
You disparage God!
Only one of God’s servant, not God.
Although I can see it doesn’t make much difference to you...
Silence, priestess!
Do not anger God!
Who gave you the right to judge with cruelty?
Demonic heresy!
You’re on your way to the stake!
Who gave you the right?
Who in here stands higher than God?
Silence, priestess!
Do not anger God! Silence, priestess!
To the stake! Do not anger God! Silence, priestess!
To the stake!
Teach our delirious sister!
Let her delusions
pass like a black shadow…
Let her see for herself that our deeds are righteous,
That the Lord’s will is spoken through my words!
Take her…
to the Temple.
I'm looking for my brother, he's a black mage.
Have you seen a black mage here?
I'm strange to these parts, I'm looking for my brother, he's a black mage.
Your brother is a black mage, really?
Take him!
My twin brother is a hero, not a murderer!
He is looking for justice, not power!
In the past war he dared to fight Darkness
And held the world from sinking into the Abyss.
The price he paid may have been harsh,
And the color of his robe has changed forever,
He will never leave his brother in trouble,
And there is no reason to doubt him.
Trust me, there are no bonds stronger than those of blood.
Ties that bind us are unbreakable! We are one!
I know he will break my chains,
My twin brother, - it cannot be otherwise!
And everything will be as before, as it used to be:
We will stand back to back once more:
The union of a fighter and a mage, the union of brothers!
I know, he’s already flying to me!
The old legend has been long forgotten,
But to this day, this truth is holy
Love works miracles in this world,
Love opens any gates.
Any gates…
Once a wizard who served the Moon
Saw a beautiful maiden in his sleep.
She stretched out her trembling hands,
She begged: come to me!
Takhisis tormented her in the kingdom of shadows,
While the young wizard languished for her.
He opened the gates of the Underworld,
And descended into the Abyss to rescue his love!
Poets sang in the old poems,
Of how he carried her from the Abyss in his arms.
All of the demonic schemes were powerless:
The holy love overcame fear in him!
The holy love overcame fear in him…
It’s easy to make up a just goal
A great goal,
the kind that mobs adore.
I will also need a flawless hero
A mighty hero,
that will lead everyone!
Eagerly people rush into battle
One for their homeland,
Or for paradise on Krynn
Like sheep, warriors go to the slaughter,
And the rest is up to me!
A deed for heroes
An excuse for thugs
To young, we’ll promise glory in battle!
A hope for paupers!
Food for the starving!
And each of them will find what he’s seeking
Are we not lying to these trusting people, Raistlin?
It's not them but you who needs this war.
Believe me, Caramon, there will be no lies here!
All that they need, the war will provide!
Tell me, isn’t it true, that the dwarves in the mountain
Are now sleeping on your gold,
That they once exiled you, their bretheren, from your home.
Now you look like a tribe of tramps!
Tell me, do you believe, that they will, on their own,
open the doors and remember the law?
Regain your homeland with your own hands!
And those who will go, will be lead by Caramon!
A deed for heroes!
An excuse to thugs!
To the young, we’ll promise glory in battle!
A hope for paupers!
Food for the starving!
And each of them will find what he’s seeking!
War will give them everything!
War!
War will give them everything!
There once was a small family in a village:
a mother and her twin sons.
One was stronger, the other was smarter,
and their childhood was just like every other child’s.
But the father left the family…
That year, everything changed!
Our mother bowed before the dark forces, Sacrificing her soul for our sake.
One false move in the dark art
Cost our mother, her life.
I realized then that: Takhisis Traps souls with her dark nets.
In that moment I made this oath,
That I would never
say a single spell!
A little boy on his mother’s grave…
How naïve that boy was back then…
But the traps aren’t there to be left unused.
The hunter will have his prey!
So cruelty sparked in children,
And my friends became bullies.
This is how I broke my word…
By amusing my foes with magical tricks,
I felt the calling for the first time!..
Nothing can stop The one who heard the all-powerful call.
The beardless lad is then ready
To stand under his teacher’s windows day and night.
To rip the cover from the mystery of nature,
To weave the threads of life with the gods!
This is the mad love for magic
That is impossible to resist.
…I became neither white nor black,
I only dreamed of learning the art!
I could have been a scientist,
Polishing my skill like a gem.
But the dark forces planted fear in the boy at the Conclave.
They send the novice to the Trial Which nearly killed him…
But I survived
and accepted the challenge of the Dark Lady!
That’s how I got into this game with death.
I play this match head-to-head,
The enemies are closer than lovers,
A strike is more tender than a kiss.
Who is the prey and the victim?
Who is the hunter and the victor?
We both dream of meeting:
She, wanting to walk out into the world,
And I, to kill her!
Why then, wizard, In the past war
Did you fight so hard on her side?
(On her side...)
The mages’ fears were quite justified!
(Quite justified!)
Yes, I was tamed, her long-awaited prey!
Yes, I ate from her hands, and dressed myself black!
But suddenly, in the decisive hour of that life-changing war
I stabbed her in the back with her own weapon!
Now, I am a traitor of both sides…
Evil and good alike look forward to my funeral…
I’m a despicable abjurer, the renegade of all times…
In the eyes of the whole world I am forever stained…
In the eyes of the whole world I am
Unfairly
Stained…
Ever since that day, in my dreadful dreams
My mother is calling me from her grave…
And I know: the power of magic
Will either devour or save me…
You are as cold as steel,
as beautiful the ice,
In which the arrows of fire fade…
When the Moon rises,
when your God falls asleep,
I know that you can hear me…
Think about me
Day and night!
Remember me,
Come to me!
I am your purpose!
Lie to yourself
If you want to.
Am I really your warden?
You are forging
Your own chains!
You are not like others,
What have you gone through?
What demons haunt you?
What are you hiding inside you?
How could it be that
It is impossible to cure your heart with love...
I remember you
(Remember me)
Day and night…
I can only think about you!
(Think about me!)
You are the one I’ve been waiting for!
Only I
(You can do)
Can help you...
Only I!
(Only you!)
I hear the voice from above!
Be by my side!
So that’s what you’ve been longing for!
Get out!
Ah, I startled you, my Raistlin…
I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to interfere in your games.
It’s a pity you stopped –
it was lovely:
Black and white look so marvelous together!
And here I thought your heart was hopelessly cold…
You always come to me when you sense weakness.
When I lose control…
But this time, the joke fell flat.
I will cope with this obsession…
I myself planted this weed in her soul!
I grew it, I poured it with poison –
The love grew from compassion for the weak,
From pity for me and from lust for glory!
Her love may be just a fruit of your art
But don’t you want to stay with her?
It would conquer you and take its share!
This feeling is stronger than you, Raistlin!
Stronger than you...
Here she is, the haughty priestess, who fell in love!
Once, she was brave but now she’s afraid…
Once, she was smart but now she’s like a puppet!
Here it is – love! But it does not bring joy, only torture…
I mustn’t fall into my own trap!
I mustn’t fall for my own creation!
Mustn’t return her false love,
Deceived by desire to possess…
Her love may be just pride in essence,
(Just pride, that’s her love in essence…)
But you’re unable to fight its power…
(I’m unable to fight its power…)
So forget yourself, forget your purpose!
( To forget my purpose?…)
Surely you long to be loved…
To be loved…
Leave it, my Lady, I’m not a silly boy!
I’ve learned all your tricks.
We are both aware of the stupidities
people do in the name of love.
I don’t need anyone!
Neither love, nor my brother!
I only need a faithful sword!
And a key to the Gates!
Love is a trap for any ruler:
To take away my power,
to break me!
(Nothing matters more than love…)
Still, power is dearer.
(Open your heart to it…)
To fall with it!
(You will be loved…)
All of this is a trap!
I want to be alone!
Leave me, all of you!
Leave me, all of you! Leave me, all of you!
And here I thought you lied
When you said you’d sell me for a song…
I lied to myself.
Not you, it's me who lied to myself.
It's cold, very cold...
Caramon, where are you?
I'm here, my brother!
Here is my hand.
That's good...
You've chased her away...
Stay by my side,
I'm so tired...
Do you remember the maple at the fence?
Do you remember playing ball and hide-and-seek?
It all went by so quickly…
So quickly, with no turning back.
We are free to despise childhood,
But our childhood never forgets us.
And there’s nowhere to hide
From who we used to be.
Let this night be a long one!
Let my brother be in my arms
Dreaming of our maple at the fence…
Dreaming that we are still brothers,
Inseparable brothers…
Once again you are a frail boy,
And I am your stupid brother.
And we are wandering around,
Having escaped from the dreary school.
But when the dawn breaks in the skies,
When the wounds close,
We will remember that we are not children anymore,
And it will feel so strange…
My son, I was so terrified to be here alone,
But my dear son is here with me once again.
Cling to your mother’s breast as you used to as a child…
My little boy, only darkness is in store for us.
Only darkness is in store for us,
Only darkness…
It is over your left shoulder,
Turn around!
What are you waiting for?
It mesmerizes like a serpent’s look,
It makes you dizzy like a drop of poison.
It is as light as the last breath.
Dance with death, my little god.
Come to me,
be by my side…
Come to me,
be by my side…
You wish to spread wings like a bird,
But your soul is heavy:
I captured it and dragged it down.
You will forever
Stay here with me.
My little boy, you know
That love is death.
Death is over your left shoulder,
Turn around!
What are you waiting for?
It mesmerizes like a serpent’s look,
It makes you dizzy like the last breath.
It’s sweet like a drop of poison.
Dance with death, my silly little god.
Come to me,
be by my side…
Come to me,
be by my side…
Raistlin!
Where are you?
Raistlin… I'm with you! I’m here!
Too late. The poor boy is no longer breathing.
I won’t give him up to you.
What can I do
for my love’s sake?
Fly like a bird
or rescue it from its downfall,
It is so simple after all:
One trial for the two of us –
We will flare like stars,
And we will burn in this flame.
Lord, give me the strength
to bring him back to life!
Let me look in those eyes
one last time!
Don’t you trust me? I will accept any ordeal!
Your agony and death -
I will take all of them upon myself!
I'll step without fear, alone in the dark to reach your heart!
I swear it!
Entrust your heart to me
And let it beat in my palms again!
All the life that God gave me,
every second of my life
I am willing to give away for you!
I can do anything for my love’s sake!
Take my soul, I only ask that you live!
I only ask that you live!
Live!
I feel sorry for you, darling,
But the flame always leaves its mark.
Your eyes will not deceive you,
If they are no more.
Everyone is blessed according to their faith.
...Everyone is blessed according to their faith...
We have slain Darkness
...I shall take what is mine...
Now your way is clear.
...You’ll get what’s yours...
The light in my eyes has faded, my days are numbered.
...I don’t need you anymore...
Give me your hand
Farewell.
That old legend is forgotten,
Because people always forget this terrible lesson:
Love unites the incompatible,
Love opens any gates…
Once a wizard who served the Moon
Saw a beautiful maiden in his sleep.
She promised to love him for eternity.
She begged: come to me!
Having forgotten that the enemy was hiding on the other side,
The enamored fool went to the slaughter,
But instead of the delights of sublime passion
Victorious darkness devoured him!
He thought he would know eternal bliss
And opened the Gates – it was stupid!
What happened next? I've known it since I was a child:
The Black Moon devoured the morning!
Poets say that the world will be saved by love!
But now you and I know another story:
The world, drowning in blood, is burned by war –
All because of the fool’s love.
The mages found a reliable spell,
But the wise men failed to consider one trifling detail:
As long as there are fair maidens,
There is no more dangerous force in this world than love!
I persuaded the maiden to open the gates,
And now she is the one dying, not me:
I chose to trade roles with her,
Because, sadly, love is death!
Yes, I fell in love, I don’t deny it,
But my love was only a means to an end
You were useful – but now you are in my way,
I will have to rip you out of my heart.
Raistlin! No!
What are you saying?
Raistlin! No!
The price of love in exchange for becoming a god
Is not too high!
The price is not too high!
There once was a black wizard who served the Moon,
He saw a beautiful maiden in his sleep.
She stretched out her trembling hands,
She begged: come to me!
Afraid that the maid might be tortured by the enemy,
The enamored fool opens the Gates
The jaws of the Abyss rushed to grasp him,
Victorious darkness devoured him!
He thought then, that love saves
And opened the Gates – it was stupid!
What happened next? We both know:
The Black Moon devoured the morning!
Poets say that the world will be saved by love!
But now, you and I know of an another story:
The world, drowned in blood, is burned by war
All because of the fool’s love!
The poets weaved false stories,
And the mages found a shield for their world:
They closed the Abyss with the alliance of two enemies,
Hoping to protect it from love.
The fair captive is locked up once again,
But there’s always a little key for any lock:
Love unites the incompatible,
Love opens any gates!
If love were not a stratagem,
Maybe it could save lives.
But throughout centuries humans remained the same,
And their love was a serf to evil and pride!
Poets say that the world will be saved by love.
But our world hasn’t seen pure love for ages!
And the price of the passion which will open the Gates to the Abyss
Is not too high!
The price is not too high!
