AMNERIS
From deep within a tomb
A gentle light still shone
Showing me my path
As I ascended to the throne
Certain in my heart
That ancient wars must cease
The lovers' deaths gave birth
to a reign of peace
And their story
And my journey
And the lesson they provide
Draw their strength and inspiration
from a love that never dies
(--We are returning to our own time and the museum of the Prologue. Once again,
the contemporary crowd gathers around various exhibits. The man and the woman
circle the model of the tomb. Yes, they know this place. They look up.
Their eyes meet. The man and woman move towards each other. FADE TO BLACK--)
