Prelude: Spring

(Instrumentation by Michael Levy)

(Chorus: Marcus Orelias)

I'll be here all year 'round 'til leave
And the leafs spring from the trees
I need you but I'll march forth
I miss you but my march forth
I love you but I march forth
Still I march forth

[Verse 1: Marcus Orelias]

The nights just begun, where are you Avia?
Said I could come back I'm, I'm grabbing for you (Are you sleep Avia?)
Crossing roads you held my hand
Healed me in sickness and health
Feeding my stomach, made meals (Where are you Avia?)
Taught to love with compassion
Gave everything from nothing
When I laid my head down as a kid, feared monsters in my closet
So I curled up in your bed
Nothing was getting through my friend
When Avia was my secret weapon

(Chorus: Marcus Orelias)

I'll be here all year 'round 'til leave
And the leafs spring from the trees
I need you but I'll march forth
I miss you but my march forth
I love you but I march forth
Still I march forth

The nights just begun, I'm here for you Avia
Hoping you'll come back but pulling through is slim
In a peaceful sleep, at this crossroad holding her hand
I can't heal this, no food for days - sitting
I found myself recalling alzheimers calling Avia's life
We've all been affected
When I sleep, her soul I keep so no fear
A few tears, mean't strength - keep breathing
I couldn't breathe until doctors said she was free

(Scene: Vision of Somnus)

The Antoninus villa home is heard burning down. In the epicenter is Marcus. Near by he sees a man that looks like his father

Marcus Orelias as Marcus Antoninus:

What the? Ahhh

Walking towards the man, the villa collapses down on the both of them. Standing up from debris falling around him. Marcus finds himself in a room with a giant bird cage, barefoot he walks towards it. Inside a giant bird wobbles around. The cage door unlocks unleashing the beast - the winged creature jumps towards him to feed

Marcus Antoninus: Wait, wait

The bird's large beak pecks down at the Emperor eating him
