We have come to hear him sing
To see this gift your savior brings
A crowd has grown, and all mesmerized
But silence quickly falls as Lord Nafaryus arrives
Please don’t stop on my account
Show us what we heard so much about
In peace, we gather here today
Don’t make him ask again
Do as my father says!
Brother, worry not, today
I will share my music, and they will soon be on their way
They only know the noise machines
So I’ll treat them all to sonic ecstasy
Never in my dreams could I deserve

This song actually showcases some of the best songwriting and portrayals of the story on the entire album. It is very diverse with many different parts, but each part flows very seamlessly into the next in a very sensical manner. It portrays the parts of the story that is meant for the listener to be imagining with grace and accuracy.
At 2:53 you can feel the tension rising as Gabriel prepares to play, and reassures Arhys of his choice. At 3:21 it's as if shock overcomes the crowd as Gabriel puts himself at risk. Then at 3:34 (which has one of the most beautiful piano lines on the album), time seemingly slows to a halt as Gabriel's eyes fall on Faythe, and he is overcome by her beauty before letting the crowd hear his music.
The entire album has a similar cinematic feel to this, it could not have been executed better.
Read about the characters on the website, read along the story("more about the tracks" on the website), the lyrics and listen to this. PLEASE. Its an experience.

Brother, worry not today
I will share my music
And they will soon be on their way
They only know the Noise Machines
So I'll treat them all to sonic ecstasy
