Stand and fight Under the lights on the high stage
Itâs the same thing all over and by now they know whatâs knowing to happen. First itâs the opening ceremony; past champions stand in a circle while facing the spectators that bought tickets to the Arena tournament. Then Zarkon gives a speech, the champions greet the crowd then leave.
There's a power that's underneath And you can't see it 'til you believe On the edge of infinity
The first fight is always the same. Itâs always them against Kuro. Perhaps the higher ups are quite aware of how close they are and thus why they are always pitted against one another. Perhaps they just enjoy their show of skills a bit too much.
Some root for Pidge while others for Kuro. Itâs always a close battle, neither backing down and letting the other win although there still is something-- they still make sure to not mortally injure the other one.
A part of your life it can take away Just like the blood running through your veins
However this time itâs different. This is the very first match of the tournament and not only just a demonstration. Whoever wins gets to go to the second round and so on and so forth. Itâs a change neither is aware until a voice booms over when the ex-paladin stops short of digging their clawed hand in the cloneâs neck.
There's only two options Win or die, win or die Win or die, die, die, die, die
Itâs do or die. One of them is going to live while the other has to die. They canât leave the Arena unless one of them is killed by the other.
The Galra have it planned from the beginning and now itâs too late.
It went from a spark to an open flame Now destiny's calling out your name So ignite, so ignite
Oh, they are going to give them all a spectacle nobody will be able to forget.
And so they fight and fight. Hauntingly purple glowing arms clash as they go for one another until they end up in a stalemate; Pidge has their arm poised to strike through Kuroâs stomach while Kuro has his inches away from their face.
Golden orbs clash with honey-amber ones before they nod and exchange bittersweet smiles, going through with their plan.
