Yorich is a knight in Queen Ara's court -- He's selfless and determined, he believes in the cause, though at times questions his Queen's sanity, and subsequently his loyalty.

2 Pendant of the Ark

[Male Voice start after the first 4 chords, at 0:13]

Yorich:

How high must I climb for you?

Oh... How high must I climb for you?

[Wait for the Cellos]

To seek what should lay forgotten... my queen must have lost her mind...

There's no shortage of danger... Up here! Up here! Oh I feel it near...

and I climb... Ever higher...

The air is thin... at any moment I could transpire...

Steel yourself Yorich! Your mission is pure...

What I truly seek is a world with pain no more...

On the horizon... atop the mountain...

I can see the temple!

And I can feel the wind, flowing through me....

It must be destiny I FEEL right now! Right now...

I'm almost there... and my lungs are fire

At any moment... I could transpire...

Steel yourself Yorich! Your mission is pure...

Steel yourself Yorich! Your destiny is near!

I will have 

the Pendant of the Ark within my hands... 

and I know you'd never understand why I do what I do...

But for a world that's better I'll do what I have to!

For my Queen or all for not...

Oh come now destiny! I've reached the top!
