"The Necromancer" lyrics



I. Into Darkness
As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky, the three travelers, men of Willow
Dale, 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...

Terminat hora diem; terminat auctor opus [loosely translated: As the hour ends
