about

Second reading – Colonization and Conflict
The card "Temperance" is drawn.

A reading of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Light and shade crease even the most clearly cut conflicts between good and evil. The passionate desire for immortality and glory can render the holiest of men susceptible to temptation and wickedness The bloodlines of the sacred and the damned are intertwined in the struggle, and resolution can only come with serenity over what must be sacrificed for good to triumph over evil.

lyrics

(Inspired by Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)

(Narration:)
Journey back to the closing years of the 18th century
Journey back to the Transylvanian countryside of Romania
Journey back into the mists,
into the halls of darkness and the gates of Hell,
Journey back to Castlevania

(Richter:)
Four years after the battle took place
Under the glare of the moon
Walking past the castle gate
One more time I’ll fulfill my fate
Called by a voice which I can’t ignore
Enticing sounds and twists of the tongue

(Richter & Shaft:)
A vampire hunter without a foe
Is good as gone and no hero

(Shaft:)
Just listen to me and soon you will see
Immortality can be reached by glory

(Richter:)
Destroying evil with holy power
For centuries we have prevailed
You will be brought back but I guarantee
My bloodline will triumph again

(Narration:)
From eternal slumber a man now arises,
Awake and aware of the deed to be done

(Alucard:)
The world has changed during my timeless rest
Evil has stirred, the balance’s disturbed
Darkness and light like a song of tune
The shadows at night play a symphony of doom
Past the front gate and into the halls
Where chaos awaits, the unending sprawl
Someone has to be pulling the strings
Why would a Belmont do such a thing?

(Alucard & Richter:)
Blood of the sacred and blood of the damned
Destinies woven in one melody

(Alucard:)
Destroying evil with holy power
For centuries they have prevailed
Immortal father, I guarantee
Your bloodline will end on this day

(Shaft:)
Congratulations, young master hunter
You have achieved your one true goal
Where will you go now? (You have no purpose!)
What will you do now? (Your existence’s absurd!)

(Richter:)
There’s blood on my hands but whose bloodline is it?
The Cross has to bear both the sacred and damned
Lord, what have I done?
Destroying evil with holy power
For centuries we have prevailed
You will be brought back but I guarantee
My bloodline will triumph again

(Alucard:)
Immortal father, I guarantee
Your bloodline will end on this day

(Narration:)
So the bloodlines come to an end;
The damned sent back whence it came,
The sacred struck with guilt and shame;
Vampires and hunters forever shrouded
In the 18th century mists of Transylvania
