Magic Mark -  Title Music (OST)

Big, bold, menacing, brash and brazen. The soldiers of war have come to face their enemy in a showdown gargantuan in size. Blood will be poured.

Commencing Battle

Reminiscing. The cold snow and the memories of childhood having fun. The bells of the church and the sounds of the winter wind blowing. Icy cold chills and looking back to the past.
