Hero of Time Lyrics


The world was young and still in balance

Forces worked in harmony

Greed corrupted the coherence

Left a broken trinity

Grasping for the gift of power

Evil almost had its way

Just before the final hour

It was stopped and sealed away

And yet it had a final plan

Cursing us in its defeat

His endless hate would rise again

And so the cycle will repeat

So familiar, and yet not the same

Let's add another chapter to this endless tale

Hey, listen

A heavy task bestowed upon

Seems so insurmountable

Faithful you keep pushing on

Nothing is impossible

Offer help, befriend the people

Learn the lore, connect the dots

Look in every nook and cranny

In plants and under flower pots

Salvation or demise - as ancient prophecies foretold

The missing link to put things right - the one that is our only hope

Driven by devotion

My eternal loyalty

Since time began our fates are tied

Kindred souls in destiny

Now I know where I belong

Guide my way toward the light

Restore the world with sword and song

Hearts of courage never die

The road will put you to the test

Solve a riddle find a key

A hidden door; a guarded chest

Revealing things that you will need

Gliding screen and magic mask

Boomerang and bombs to throw

A grappling hook to aid your task

And fire arrows for your bow

Raiding temples, delving dungeons - leading down to depths unknown

Better wield your sword and shield - It's dangerous to go alone

Driven by devotion

My eternal loyalty

Since time began our fates are tied

Kindred souls in destiny

Now I know where I belong

Guide my way toward the light

Restore the world with sword and song

Hearts of courage never die

You have met with a terrible fate haven't you

The face you keep under that mask; tell me does it also frown

Your time is up - just look above; the grinning moon comes crashing down

A dark man from the desert came, with flaming hair and piercing gaze

A lord magician, demon spawn, his spear is hate, his word is scorn

Feast your eyes, so much to see

Dried-out deserts, mountains high

Misty forests, deep blue sea

Sunless caves and open skies

Flying folk and trees that weep

Snappy plants and stones that walk

Mirror realms and haunted keeps

Bossy kids and fish that talk

Look at all the things you've gained

More than just mere memories

Spark the joy your heart contains

May your journey never seize

So familiar, and yet not the same

When evil is defeated, the kingdom is saved

Driven by divine devotion, sparking deathless loyalty

Through age and time, we're bound together

I hear you calling out to me

Now I know where I belong

All the shadows fade to white

Raise your voice and sing along

Hearts of courage never die
