At last! you enter the Electric Castle! Here in this vast hall where even shadows fear the
|
light - here you must confront your past. If you have killed, beware of the Gathering of Spirits
|
for they do fish for men. Here, the disembodied Astral World becomes flesh once more. I pity the
|
men of swords.
|
For here blood runs cold...
|
|
[barbarian]
|
cries from the grave resound in my ears
|
they hail from beyond my darkest fears
|
faces of the past are etched in my brain
|
the women I raped, the men I've slain
|
|
shades of the dead are sliding on the wall
|
demons dance in the castle hall
|
|
[knight]
|
I call upon the sword, the mighty Excalibur
|
grant me the skill to fulfill my quest
|
|
I call upon my king and the knights of the table round
|
grant me the courage to stand to this test
|
|
I call upon the seer, Merlin the sorcerer
|
grant me the magic to end my pain
|
|
I call upon the spirit that lives in a noble heart
|
grant me the passion that's within my veins
|
|
shades of the dead are sliding on the wall
|
demons dance in the castle hall
|
|
[repeat hall]
