[I. Into the Darkness]
|
|
'As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky,
|
the three travelers, men of Willowdale,
|
emerge from the forest shadow.
|
Fording the River Dawn, they turn south, journeying
|
into the dark and forbidding lands of the Necromancer
|
Even now the intensity of his dread power can be felt,
|
weakening the body and saddening the heart
|
Ultimately they will become empty, mindless spectres...
|
stripped of will and soul, only
|
their thirst for freedom gives them hunger for vengeance...'
|
|
Silence shrouds the forest
|
As the birds announce the dawn
|
Three trav'llers ford the river
|
And southward journey on
|
The road is lined with peril
|
The air is charged with fear
|
The shadow of his nearness
|
Weighs like iron tears
|
|
[II. Under the Shadow]
|
|
'Shreds of black cloud loom in overcast skies.
|
The Necromancer keeps watch with his magic prism eyes.
|
He views all his lands and is already aware of the three helpless invaders
|
trapped in his lair...'
|
|
Brooding in the tower
|
Watching o'er his land
|
Holding ev'ry creature
|
Helplessly they stand
|
Gaze into his prisms
|
Knowing they are near
|
Lead them to the dungeons
|
Spectres numb with fear
|
They bow defeated
|
|
[III. Return Of the Prince]
|
|
'Enter the Champion
|
Prince By-Tor appears to battle for freedom from chains of long years
|
The spell has been broken...the Dark Lands are bright.
|
The Wraith of the Necromancer soars
|
away in the night.'
|
|
Stealthily attacking
|
By-Tor slays his foe
|
The men are free to run now
|
From labyrinths below
|
The Wraith of Necromancer
|
Shadows through the sky
|
Another land to darken
|
With evil prism eye
|
