about
So begins the saga of Keeping Time. Be whisked away to a world where supernatural energy manifests within mortal beings and the struggle for control is ever more intense.
Odondis Ayne is met by two mystical bards, Ensey and Tostl, who make apparent a conspiracy within The Seln.
Why does he have no memories of his life before this city? How will Odondis rise to the challenge of uncovering this mystery? Will he be able to save those who know not they need saving?
Follow along with Odondis if you wish to discover the truth as this tale unfolds. Otherwise, just enjoy the music.
lyrics
[Odondis]
My footsteps echo down a road
That I have never been before.
I hear the past return to me,
Some sense amongst cacophony.
Silence then greets a bardic tone,
It's as if they sing to me alone.
"Listen in," they said,
"For the common thread,
Follow where it's led.
The key is in your head."
[Ensey and Tostl]
Listen in, Odondis Ayne,
You'll benefit from what we say.
When asked about from whence you came
You sit ashamed and draw a blank.
What if we told you of a room
That's lined wall to wall with hidden truths?
(Go forth) And you will find
(Go forth) What you desire.
(Go forth) It's time what's keeping you?
(Go forth) It's time what's keeping you?
It's time that's keeping you now.
[Tostl]
The hall where all of our secrets are saved -
Our memories are wiped clean and then filed away.
In there, your past you will find.
But be careful how much you revive.
[Ensey]
Awaken your history, recover your dreams,
Unlock the power your future will bring,
And remember you might need a friend.
And remember how this one's going to end...
[Odondis]
I sense a grand conspiracy
But I need to know I need to see...
Taken the moment I arrived,
It's time to take back my old life.
"Listen in," they said,
"For the common thread,
Follow where it's led.
The key is in your head."
[Ensey and Tostl]
(Go forth) And you will find
(Go forth) What you desire:
(Go forth) Truth burning bright,
(Go forth) Passion and fire.
(Go forth) And you will find
(Go forth) What you desire.
(Go forth) It's time what's keeping you?
(Go forth) It's time what's keeping you?
It's time that's keeping you now.
