1. DARUMA

Daruma
The darkness
Empire of magic
Daruma
The old doll
Daruma, unfaithful

Daruma
The darkness
Empire of magic
Daruma
The old doll
Daruma, unfaithful

When the full moon shines high, he's there
In the kingdom of hermitage
Anningan runs at the top of his speed
Chasing power and conquering

But his strength is still not enough to
Unveil the secrets of hermitage
If destiny will find the right way
His time will be doomed to come

But his strength is still not enough to
Unveil the secrets of hermitage
If destiny will find the right way
His time will be doomed to come

Waiting for fate to give him a chance
Searching for something to hold his spell
Waiting for someone who could help
Or for time not to run too fast...

But his strength is still not enough to
Unveil the secrets of hermitage
If destiny will find the right way
His time will be doomed to come

But his strength is still not enough to
Unveil the secrets of hermitage
If destiny will find the right way
His time will be doomed to come

He thus makes a wish by drawing an eye on a doll named Daruma
Waiting for someone to help Anningan himself in his chess game

But his strength is still not enough to
Unveil the secrets of hermitage
If destiny will find the right way
His time will be doomed to come

But his strength is still not enough to
Unveil the secrets of hermitage
If destiny will find the right way
His time will be doomed to come

Daruma
The darkness
Empire of magic
Daruma
The old doll
Daruma, unfaithful


2. GLORIOUS

In a night
Like any other
At the shrine
In the depths of asakusa

A few souls are still awake
Longing for new hopes to chase
Praying for a change and for miracles

In a night
It all can be different
A new land
A fresh new beginning

New horizons and new truths
For a mankind blind and cruel
Sparkles turn into blaze

Leaving my home, for a new world
Doubts can be strong
Feeling alone, shattered and torn
Is this my call?
This is the day, I'll fly away
I'll find my way
Nothing is gone, I'll be reborn
I'll be glorious

In a night
Of astonishing wonders
A new light
In search of a shelter

Viktor's life is going to change
Only memories will remain
A choice can twist your eternity

Leaving my home, for a new world
Doubts can be strong
Feeling alone, shattered and torn
Is this my call?
This is the day, I'll fly away
I'll find my way
Nothing is gone, I'll be reborn
I'll be glorious

Leaving his home, for a new world
Doubts can be strong
Feeling alone, shattered and torn
Is this a call?

Leaving my home, for a new world
Doubts can be strong
Feeling alone, shattered and torn
Is this my call?
Leaving my home, for a new world
Doubts can be strong
Feeling alone, shattered and torn
Is this my call?
This is the day, I'll fly away
I'll find my way
Nothing is gone, I'll be reborn
I'll be glorious


3. A HERO REBORN

Staring at you, you're walking to the temple
Without even ever looking back
Viktor goes on, with his lonely journey
Feeling the same overwhelming void

My only friend is the soothing sound of the water
Flowing around me in gentle little streams
Where beautiful carps make their appearance
As if even them would want me to move on

Valiant and with no fear

Like a hero reborn from the ashes
Like a new world was torn from the shadows
I just need to be there, that's what matters
Is he Lucifer's son? I will fight for this world

Then something new quickly caught Viktor's attention
A little small doll, full of secret mysteries
Daruma has been abandoned long ago
With just one eye, drawn by someone we don't know

Valiant and with no fear

Like a hero reborn from the ashes
Like a new world was torn from the shadows
I just need to be there, that's what matters
Is he Lucifer's son? I will fight for this world

The wind seems to be chasing something
Blowing away all your nightmares
If I'm here, it's for a reason
Under the spell of the only faithful merciless truth

It is as if all the 8 winds
Are gathering to accomplish what fate wants for him
The young boy can't stand the burden
Under the spell of the only faithful merciless truth

Valiant and with no fear

Like a hero reborn from the ashes
Like a new world was torn from the shadows
I just need to be there, that's what matters
Is he Lucifer's son? I will fight for this world

Like a hero reborn


4. WELCOME TO HERMITAGE

The first rays of light:
A farewell to the night!
They bring new hope
Before Viktor's eyes
No sign of mankind was left around him:
Nothing reminds of Asakusa!

He can only think
About that little doll:
The drawing in its eye
Is stealing his mind!

A moth and the doll then appear next to him...
...what happened? Where is he?

Viktor feels peace in his soul
Yet he fears like never before
Shivers run down his spine
Someone is waiting for him

Welcome to Hermitage
Welcome, your time has come
Welcome to Hermitage
He's a stranger in a whole new world

Anisha reveals herself from nowhere
Surprising our hero, confused and dazed
She turns to Dian, the moth, and she says:
Where have you been in these days?

Viktor feels peace in his soul
Yet astonished while hearing the moth saying:
I had to wait for someone
To notice me, but now I am here

Welcome to Hermitage
Welcome, your time has come
Welcome to Hermitage
He's a stranger in a whole new world

Welcome to Hermitage
Welcome, your time has come
Welcome to Hermitage
He's a stranger in a whole new world

L'oscurità è solo un disegno
Colora ogni singolo piccolo regno
Guarda negli occhi di chi ne ha paura
Trova la chiave per farne sventura

First shades come to chase
Away from the day
Bringing new hope
Upon Viktor's way
There is no sign of man close to him

Welcome to Hermitage
Welcome, your time has come
Welcome to Hermitage
He's a stranger in a whole new world

Welcome to Hermitage
Welcome, your time has come
Welcome to Hermitage
He's a stranger in a
He's a stranger in a
He's a stranger in a whole new world


5. NO RETURN

A child wakes up in the night
In tears, fooled by his own mind
"I had a nightmare: thunder in the sky
"Go back to sleep and just don't be afraid

All around him there's a world
In red and gold
Where no concrete chokes the fields on which he's walking

All around him there's a world
In red and gold:
He's touched by the grace and charm of this place!

Off to the passage! Over the unknown!
A quest for the truth
With no return!
Off to the passage, over the unknown!
A quest for the truth
With no return!

Used to the chaos of his town
Now he feels thrown inside a new world
Where is mankind to rule the laws of time:
Not the machines that prevailed his old life...

All around him there's a world
In red and gold
Where no concrete chokes the fields on which he's walking

All around him there's a world
In red and gold:
He's touched by the grace and charm of this place!

Off to the passage! Over the unknown!
A quest for the truth
With no return!
Off to the passage, over the unknown!
A quest for the truth
With no return!

Daruma, the darkness
In veritas
Nel tempo
Persiste
L'oscurità

Daruma, the darkness

Persiste

6. IN SEARCH OF GOLD

My name is Viktor and I don't know
Where I am now, what's going on
I can only remember, passing by
I collected this

You are here for a reason, then
Anningan is looking for a way
To enter Hermitage and to get it back

Please can someone
Explain to me
What you are talking about?

There were years when our lives
Were full of memories
Anningan was still there
It's not easy to explain
But after Emia passed away
He tried to fill the void with pain
He blamed us all for her death
But it wasn't us

In search of the gold, they said
We found and we lost our way
Hermitage for us was the center of the world
Selected people can come in
Who have the gift to show some skill
But men are always looking for something more

Please can someone
Explain to me
What you are talking about?

There were years when our lives
Were full of memories
Anningan was still there
It's not easy to explain
But after Emia passed away
He tried to fill the void with pain
He blamed us all for her death
But it wasn't us

Our victory came at a high price
We lost many friends
I had to send the person I cared the most into exile
Now he is trying to come back and reclaim his place
He summoned people from other worlds
To help him with their powers. What's yours?

There were years when our lives
Were full of memories
Anningan was still there
It's not easy to explain

There were years when our lives
Were full of memories
Anningan was still there
It's not easy to explain

There were years when our lives
Were full of memories
Anningan was still there
It's not easy to explain

But after Emia passed away
He tried to fill the void with pain
He blamed us all for her death
But it wasn't us


7. JOIN ME

It's a whole new world around Viktor
Who has thousands of questions constantly spinning in his mind
First of all, he wants to know who are the people on his side:
What happened to you?
Which side of the story are you on?

No one can tell where Dian comes from:
After the fight she was with us!
She seemed confused, her words were unclear
Stories of dragons, old fairytales

I'm searching for answers to the unknown
What are the powers we can hold?
I wish I could read through people's mind
I wish I could stop him, but I was blind...

Can you hear my voice? Can you see my face?
You can't miss this chance, join me into the night...

Close your eyes, take a breath
Now you're walking on new paths!
Read the signs in the sky
Or we'll lose another time...

Close your eyes, take a breath
Now you're walking on new paths!
Find a shelter from the rain:
Hermitage must have no chains!

I'm burning inside, I drown in regret
I wish I could save us from this fate
For sure you're a pawn in our enemy's game:
To find his revenge he's using you...

Anningan's odds were never so bright...
He waited for preys like you to bite!
Loneliness's hunting our homes and our streets:
Silence is spreading all around!

Can you hear my voice? Can you see my face?
You can't miss this chance, join me into the night...

Close your eyes, take a breath
Now you're walking on new paths!
Read the signs in the sky
Or we'll lose another time...

Close your eyes, take a breath
Now you're walking on new paths!
Find a shelter from the rain:
Hermitage must have no chains!

Close your eyes, take a breath
Now you're walking on new paths!
Find a shelter from the rain:
Hermitage must have no chains!


8. TRUST NO ONE BUT YOU

You came here because
Of your dreams and what you can
Do with them, says the figure

Chasing Viktor, finding a new way to cross the path
Is this the truth?

How many times have you found yourself
With something before your eyes
That you've seen only inside your dreams?
That's not reality!
How many times that thing was back
Right after you woke up?
How many times did they tell you:
Trust no one but you

These are dark times
Don't believe in what you feel
And see in front of you

"My power stops here"
"I can't see what he's looking for"
It's inside that doll

How many times have you found yourself
With something before your eyes
That you've seen only inside your dreams?
That's not reality!
How many times that thing was back
Right after you woke up?
How many times did they tell you:
Trust no one but you

How many times have you found yourself
With something before your eyes
That you've seen only inside your dreams?
That's not reality!
How many times that thing was back
Right after you woke up?
How many times did they tell you:
Trust no one but you

How many times have you found yourself
With something before your eyes
That you've seen only inside your dreams?
That's not reality!
How many times that thing was back
Right after you woke up?
How many times did they tell you:
Trust no one but you


9. DARKNESS IS JUST A DRAWING

On the road again
Many questions fill up the doubtful minds of them all
What should they believe?
Can they truly trust what Faramond claims to be the truth?

Darkness's just a drawing
Made of little kingdoms
Fill them with your colours
Bring them light and life
Face the ones afraid of it, find the key to their doom

Many sentences hide their true meaning
Sometimes we just miss what they stand for
Secrets lie in the words from your mother
What do we know about the mad man?

Now you're in this realm:
Here in Hermitage we've all heard this magical words
It's a sign of force
Everybody knows that only together
We'll be safe...

Darkness's just a drawing
Made of little kingdoms
Fill them with your colours
Bring them light and life
Face the ones afraid of it, find the key to their doom

Many sentences hide their true meaning
Sometimes we just miss what they stand for
Secrets lie in the words from your mother
What do we know about the mad man?

Through the old Daruma's grooves:
Mysteries lie in cryptic words
But you can fight this darkness

What does Anningan want?
He's been searching for people like you...
There is something concealed and unknown
And we must find out what it is

What does Anningan want?

10. INTO THE VOID

Not too far from Hermitage
Anningan is waiting to build a new path
With his only follower to fulfill his wish
But what does he want from Viktor? We really don't know

Not too far from Hermitage
Anningan is waiting to build a new path
With his only follower to fulfill his wish
But what does he want from Viktor? We really don't know

How many times did you believe the stories you've been told?
How many times have you been fooled? Pay attention to the world
Around you, everything is about to change
Nothing will ever be the same again

How many times have you reached the goals you set before?
How many times have you been fooled? Pay attention to the world
Around you everything is about to change
Nothing will ever be the same again

Help me defeat those who have the power now
Help me show the lies with no single rhyme

Annigan is waiting to make contact with his new follower to fulfill his wish

How many times have you believed the stories you have been told?
How many times have you been fooled? Pay attention to the world
Around you, everything is about to change
Nothing will ever be the same again

How many times have you reached the goals you set before?
How many times have you been fooled? Pay attention to the world
Around you everything is about to change
Nothing will ever be the same again

What does he want from Viktor

I didn't know what was real
I'm fighting with reality
And I feel like I need to discover
Everything about this

Can you remember the past?
What's left in your mind of those moments
What happened before Anningan's
Darkness took over his mind

Most of our memories
Have faded away into the void
But we all dream almost the same
A magic place where people and animals
Stay together like they heard a call

Most of our memories
Have faded away into the void
But we all dream almost the same place where all...
Help me defeat those who have the power now

I don't know what was real
I'm duelling with reality
I feel like I need to find out
About everything

Can you remember the past?
What's left in your mind of those moments
Before the dark side overcame you
Will my mind hold on to prayer?

How many times have you believed the stories you have been told?
How many times have you been fooled? Pay attention to the world
Around you, everything is about to change
Nothing will ever be the same again

11. BRAND NEW START

Another night comes
Viktor has his head filled with fears and doubts regarding what may happen
He falls asleep and the same voice from the night before pops up in his mind
This time Viktor is ready to answer some questions
And listen to them

You're here and there's a reason why
It's hard to find the land of Hermitage
I was sure you were the key!

Who are you, and who am I?
The answer scares me, but I have to know...
What do you want? What's in my dreams?

You are my one and only chance
To bring back hope and happiness
Cause there's no future for us all
If you don't bring back what we've lost

You just can't hide what you have done
You crave revenge, your mind is gone!
I feel you for your loss
But this is not the truth
This is all on you
Hermitage is pure
Clouded thoughts fill your soul...

Ask yourself who told you so!
I never wished I had to face my friends
Lies are easy to believe...
Blacks and whites are never right
Simple paths can trick distracted eyes
But you're aware: there's something more!

Answers will bring you light!
No, I just can't look back!
It was a treason! - Why?
I'm standing in the rain!
Finding the future deep inside the past
Writing a brand new start:
This world can't fall apart!

Break the chains of life
In this old city
Close to the sky above
Break the chains of time

Can I truly change the past?
Can I bring back happiness?
Maybe there's a ray of light
Hidden beneath all this darkness!

No one knows what I have done
The burden in my heart!
It's hard to understand
If you could only see deep inside of me...
You can change the world, or go back home!

Answers will bring you light!
No, I just can't look back!
It was a treason! - Why?
I'm standing in the rain!
Finding the future deep inside the past
Writing a brand new start:
This world can't fall apart!

Answers will bring you light!
No, I just can't look back!
It was a treason! - Why?
I'm standing in the rain!
Finding the future deep inside the past
Writing a brand new start:
This world can't fall apart!


12. WHERE WE BELONG

I spoke to Anningan
He told me about the lies
He always tried to isolate this kingdom so far

Not the first time that he tries
He said the same to all the people of Hermitage?

He said I could be free
I could go back to my life
If I believe it's right I could just let it go

Do you truly trust his words?
You are just a fool!

Looking at the moon
Wishing to find strength: we must stay and fight!
Looking at the moon
Knowing there's no time: we must find the place
Where we belong


13. FULL OF MEMORIES

Hours and days pass, while Viktor feels his thoughts being so uncertain, and Anningan has almost fully recovered his strength.
No one knows where he is hiding, but Irin wants to find him and put an end to all of this for good.

I wake up in the night, I know it's too late
You won't be by my side. Yes, I'm afraid.
Back then I had a friend who stood next to me
Now loneliness is here embracing my dreams

Whispering in my ears, the devil's at my door!

It's so cold, I'm full of memories
There's a song inside my head
I can't keep all these melodies
In the bottom of my heart
One more step, one more day
I can feel it in the air
On my way to the sky
Or to the end of the line?

What if I turn back? If I look behind
Memories from my past still stuck in my mind
My friend is still alive, he's not far from here!
He might have lost its shape, his soul is still here!

Whispering in my ears, the devil's at my door!
I don't wanna chase my dreams. They'll disappear with me!

It's so cold, I'm full of memories
There's a song inside my head
I can't keep all these melodies
In the bottom of my heart
One more step, one more day
I can feel it in the air
On my way to the sky
Or to the end of the line?

Welcome to Hermitage
Welcome to Hermitage

It's so cold, I'm full of memories (It's so cold, I'm full of memories)
I can't keep all these melodies (I can't keep all these melodies)

It's so cold, I'm full of memories
There's a song inside my head
I can't keep all these melodies
In the bottom of my heart
One more step, one more day
I can feel it in the air
On my way to the sky
Or to the end of the line?

Welcome to Hermitage


14. CLIFF

Oh, the brothers finally met
Face to face, so long they wandered...
Ready to fight one last time
Both of them knew what happened to them

I wish I'd warned you on time
But I couldn't. Irin created all of this.
To keep Anningan away
And get our kingdom for his plan, at the end

Viktor, you're our last hope here
You can help, bring us the truth!
Go back to your only dream
Regain control of the past far beyond
The forgotten beings will come back
And in this way Irin will be defeated

Viktor, you're our last hope here
You can help, bring us the truth!
Go back to your only dream
Regain control of the past far beyond

Daruma's eyes, waiting for him!
To the blue sky, from war still free!
Bleeding enough to build our world
Crying for him, there is no return!

Daruma's eyes, waiting for him!
To the blue sky, from war still free!
Bleeding enough to build our world
Crying for him, there is no return!

With these last words Faramond says goodbye
To Hermitage, revealing his last visions

But that could have been saved from their selves
The people of Hermitage become aware

Daruma's eyes, waiting for him!
To the blue sky, from war still free!
Bleeding enough to build our world
Crying for him, there is no return!

Daruma's eyes, waiting for him!
To the blue sky, from war still free!
Bleeding enough to build our world
Crying for him, there is no return!

Now your spell has been broken, he will be free to come back
To the kingdom, while you'll fall
You can change the story if you draw the other eye
Go back home with no consequences
But break the Daruma, you will stay here

I know I'm the last hope here
I will help them to bring back the truth!
I will make the dream come true
I'll regain control on the past far beyond
My destiny is to save this world
Now you will fall, goodbye Irin

The last scene thus sees Viktor in Park Avenue, just woken up after a nightmare
His mother is next to him, ready to soothe him with a sentence that will sound familiar:
Darkness is just a drawing, where every single little kingdom is colored
Look in the eyes of those who are afraid of it, find the key to their doom
