Connected Through Music - Chapter 1's song and context

The land of Operetta is at it’s most dire moment in all of its history. It is under siege by demonic forces that wish to claim it to start the end of the world. The Church and her forces have stopped the spread of evil around the borders of the land but have only managed to rescue a few families and kingdoms since the armies of Hell are stronger in the center of Operetta. While they make up a plan to exorcise the demons from the land, two royal families hold out in the very center of the demonic infestation. They are held up in their castles blessed by the Pope himself. Statues of the saints, angels, the Blessed Mother, and her Child keep away demons around the edges of the castles and the interiors. Their faith and love keep their blessings active and their protectors by their side. They could hold out until help arrives, but there is another problem besides absolute evil outside the gates. There is a boy named Legato and a girl named Arietta from the families that love each other. Because their love is strong, and their ways are pure, God has allowed them to talk to each through song.
Today is another day for them as they live in isolation from the world and each other. They sit by their bedside windows and look in the direction where the other is supposed to be.
Legato
The single life can be good for a person
It keeps them concentrated on their happiness
Let’s them worry about one less person

Arietta
Single people don’t need to worry about children
About having to raise their own child
About having to put themselves last

Legato & Arietta
But that’s not the life I want

I don’t care about the costs
The price of love
The agony it causes
It doesn’t matter what other people say
I will fight through all the pain
Just to be with you

You make it all worth it
You complete me

Arietta
I don’t know what I would be without you
My temptations for beauty would overcome me if it weren’t for you

Legato
I wouldn’t be the man I am today if you didn’t exist
I’d overwork myself till I died of exhaustion

Legato and Arietta
But because you’re with me

I’m in love
I’m happy
I have a reason to live
No matter what lies ahead
I will fight through all the pain
Just to be with you

Stay forever with me
Keep me near your heart
No matter how far we are apart
You will always be with me

Our love will never die
You are my hope
My salvation
A burning fire that keeps me alive

I will love you forever and always
