Aah... How beautifully old you are...
|
Labyrinthine earth-world, old already as the tower rose,
|
when the dust and stone rested heavy upon you...
|
No sound echoed within your silent halls and long,
|
empty corridors in the darkness...
|
For your walls have not been touched or seen
|
since your downfall at the end of the age of illusion...
|
So they say. Aah...
|
The destruction, the woe we wrenched down
|
upon them and their unsuspecting kings and queens...
|
Mighty as they saw themselves.
|
We made them... made them grow and prosper...
|
Ba; thing in their won greed and empty pride...
|
For how many years did we not see the, feel their happiness,
|
smelling their kingly perfumes...
|
And how we ached for their downfall
|
Laughed we did, and not seldom,
|
for what did these puppets know of our labyrinthine
|
dungeons far below their jewelled palaces?
|
How could they know that their fates lurked deep under,
|
in chambers as dark and cold
|
as their deepest fears could never dream of fathom...
|
|
For I, I created these cities, as much as I hate them.
|
I created them and their rulers so that I could destroy them.
|
I made them ever prosper, so that the flow of energy
|
would make me powerful on arrival to my workd,
|
my mind world made earth...
|
|
The labyrinth once held hordes of warrior spirits,
|
the spirits of the kind that roamed the world at that time...
|
Having been summoned into the earth...
|
They made the labyrinth, most ancient of all structures...
|
They took the powers of stone and soil...
|
And powerful warriors they became.
|
|
Aah... Ye cities fell and burnt...
|
The nights were alive with cries of war
|
and death echoed the surrounding mountains...
|
I felt the energy pour into my every vein and nerve...
|
And it filled my heart... And when all was over,
|
he pointeth his finger towards the south
|
|
Four cities fell... Four kings lost their power...
|
Yet a fifth and different kind of king
|
was still to be sent away - for ever.
