00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,200
Kova the Blacksmith

2
00:00:03,801 --> 00:00:06,701
Based on the "Shahnameh" by Ferdowsi

3
00:00:13,202 --> 00:00:16,602
Zahhok's reign o'er the world
was set in stone -

4
00:00:17,653 --> 00:00:20,153
A thousand years
that king sat on the throne.

5
00:00:21,504 --> 00:00:25,000
The world beneath his yoke
rushed backwards fast,

6
00:00:26,051 --> 00:00:29,601
And it was hard
to watch the years slip past.

7
00:00:45,002 --> 00:00:49,000
The king of dragon-visage
came like wind.

8
00:00:49,951 --> 00:00:54,401
The splendid crown of kings
to his own head he pinned.

9
00:01:53,452 --> 00:01:56,002
Our youths are dying every day.

10
00:01:57,003 --> 00:02:01,903
King Zahhok feeds them to those
insatiable, foul creatures of his.

11
00:02:02,004 --> 00:02:03,104
Quiet.

12
00:02:03,355 --> 00:02:05,855
If the guards hear,
it will go badly for us.

13
00:02:40,506 --> 00:02:43,556
The people will not
forgive your villainy.

14
00:02:51,107 --> 00:02:53,157
I demand justice!

15
00:03:00,558 --> 00:03:02,258
I am Kova, a blacksmith.

16
00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:05,859
Why do you tyrannize me and my people?

17
00:03:10,050 --> 00:03:14,560
Must we really feed those vile serpents
with the blood of our sons?

18
00:03:17,911 --> 00:03:20,961
I had once eighteen sons:
but one is left.

19
00:03:21,562 --> 00:03:22,562
Give him back!

20
00:03:26,113 --> 00:03:29,163
You are brave! This I respect.

21
00:03:30,014 --> 00:03:33,564
You are the first who thought
to contradict me.

22
00:03:39,815 --> 00:03:42,365
I need your signature, to the effect...

23
00:03:42,916 --> 00:03:48,966
...that Justice I respect,
That I'm a champion of Truth and Good.

24
00:03:55,367 --> 00:03:58,067
Champion of Truth and Good

25
00:04:01,918 --> 00:04:03,668
I want you to sign it too.

26
00:04:06,069 --> 00:04:07,069
Champion of Truth and Good

27
00:04:14,820 --> 00:04:18,200
You've sold your heart to the devil!

28
00:04:19,051 --> 00:04:20,601
I will not sign beneath these words!

29
00:05:15,152 --> 00:05:17,302
Why have you saved me,

30
00:05:17,653 --> 00:05:18,803
father?

31
00:05:20,104 --> 00:05:21,854
How is it now possible to live,

32
00:05:22,355 --> 00:05:24,705
to meet the eyes of the
parents of the dead?

33
00:05:48,456 --> 00:05:51,606
A cub into a lion will grow,

34
00:05:51,707 --> 00:05:54,407
Once his own strengths
he comes to know.

35
00:05:55,708 --> 00:05:59,308
How long must we endure
the vile, black yoke?

36
00:06:00,309 --> 00:06:04,109
I'll go and bring my sword down
on Zahhok.

37
00:06:27,260 --> 00:06:31,010
May you destroy the Evil brood,

38
00:06:31,111 --> 00:06:34,011
And be the guardian of Good.

39
00:07:34,712 --> 00:07:37,912
From each part of the world
to battle harsh

40
00:07:38,613 --> 00:07:42,613
A hundred thousand brave men
are set to march.

41
00:09:42,713 --> 00:09:46,113
A harsh lesson for all tyrants...

42
00:09:46,414 --> 00:09:49,014
...who go beyond what
their people will bear.
