ELEXORIEN LYRICS
"Rising of the Storm" (2005 Demo)
1. Rising of the Storm
2. The Disciple of the Night Under a Starless Sky
3. Dryads and Trolls
1. Rising of the Storm
"...a vast ever-growing world of wondrous beauty, quietly humming with magic and majesty, stretches out as far as I can see, and even beyond the distant horizon the splendour of this realm does neither know nor fear any boundaries.
And yet the setting sun calls for Twilight, and brooding shadows grow ever taller. A distant thunder rolls over the land, as a first and final warning of the rising storm:
...There will be no dawn..."
By the faint light of the night
Brightened by the shining of a waning moon
remote bolts of lightning fill the sky
The hour draws nigh, it will come soon
The distant thunder, the rising of the storm
Shrouds of mist and clouds of black
Obscure the howling wind's vortex
The winds are crying out your name
Heavens shall weep for you tonight
Sirens singing songs of sorrow
Ancient enchanting melodies
Soothing songs of old
Yet their words are ever so dark
No light shines, the night is cold
...And so it will be like the prophet foretold
Gazing at this lightless realm in which the sun once reigned
Skies turned to emerald green and darkest black
Primordial wrath sent forth from death anxiously awaits
The merciless and brutal full attack
Winds are singing in chorus
A song of melodies so sad
Sirens wailing for their sorrow
Tearful serenades of grief
Mournful songs of times
Forgotten and long gone
No dawn shall rise, farewell to light
...Farewell to light, no dawn shall rise
...And in the woods the lightning strikes
The thunder rolls and daylight dies
A frightful presence roaming through the night
The storm now reigns forevermore
Unparallelled, this nature's force
Eternally negates all light
2. The Disciple of the Night Under a Starless Sky
(Arlen, high Priest of the Crystal palace)
...and suddenly...
The Sign of Lor, that warded the ancient tomb of the Adamantine Heart, Guardians of the Crystal Palace, shone heavily in the night.
There, where light and darkness fought their epic battles, shadows leaped into existence, dueling on either side.
But what many failed to see, was he who was darker than the shadows. Fighting furiously, pounding like the Dragon’s heart, yet carefully considering every single move.
...it was...
The Disciple of the Night under a starless sky.
(Arlen)
Ancient graves were violated
Undead awoken by the light
Long gone forces recreated
Joining the Disciple in the fight
(The Army of the Adamantine Heart)
Put to death by ancient swords
Aeons have passed on since we died
Rejoined honourbound for the Disciple of
The night under a starless sky.
(The Legion of Steel)
For the glory of the Crystal Palace
And the pride of our beloved lands
We’ll unite our forces
The shadow army will fall by our hands
(The Army)
Lain to rest
Ancient warriors
Through magic reborn
Revenge (2x)
(The Legion of Steel)
For the honour of our king and country
The splendour of our beloved lands
The flame still burns underneath the ashes
We’ll crush the enemy with our bare hands
Part II:
(Arlen)
...And so the Legion of Steel battled bravely against the storming hordes of the former Adamantine Heart, slaying the shadows by the hundreds. But they kept on creeping into the dark halls.
Knowing they would never be able to win this battle by the might of their blades alone, one of the Legion’s lieutenants, Jindereth, fought his way through the evil hordes, in order to reach the Sign of Lor. Realizing that if he failed to close the seal, the Legion would be overrun, and the Crystal Palace would fall...
(Jindereth)
Follow me into the shadow horde
The path is leading to the Sign of Lor
If I have to sacrifice my life, then I will
With my death I will stop this war
Bring the dead their eternal rest
By closing the Adamantine’s Tomb
And bring peace to the Crystal Palace forevermore
(The Army)
Men of ancient glory wield thy magic blades
Adamantine Heart Guards shadow sentinels
Stand together to avert our tragic fate
Stand together
(The Disciple of the Night)
Or be damned back into hell
(Jindereth)
Follow me!!
Part III:
(Arlen)
...The battle was long and exhausting, but Jindereth and his strongest soldiers managed to get within reach of the Sign of Lor, using flares and torches to keep the shadows at bay.
But then...
Coming through line after line of shadow warriors, a tall dark figure stepped up towards the Legion of Steel, holding his cold Nightblade high above his head, loudly cursing at Jindereth...
(The Disciple of the Night and the Army of the Adamantine Heart)
Who are you to enter our sacred resting place
The power of our immortal souls has opened up the seal
From the hour of our demise, since our deaths aeons ago
We have sought revenge and we will reveal our true face
(Jindereth and the Legion of Steel)
For the glory of the Crystal Palace
And the pride of our beloved lands
We’ll unite our forces
The shadow army will fall by our hands
For the honour of our king and country
The splendour of our beloved lands
The flame still burns underneath the ashes
We’ll crush the enemy with our bare hands
(Jindereth)
To battle and victory!!
Part IV:
(Arlen)
...The Legion of Steel, under Jindereth’ s command, charged towards the seal. Many brave soldiers found a painful death in that desperate run. Those who survived could feel the magic pouring out of the tomb, and penetrating their bodies, when suddenly...
...Big flashes of lightning filled the sky, followed by deafening thunder, which numbed even the bravest souls. But one man was left standing, high on top of the tomb, bathing in bright sunlight shining through the clouds.
It was him, he had done it! Jindereth had managed to close the seal! Yet. As he stepped down, he felt the Disciple’s icy Nightblade thrusting into his back. In his fall, he made one final swing with his sword, and slew the Disciple of the Night, sending him back into the fiery abyss that is now his final resting place.
(The Legion of Steel)
For the glory of the Crystal Palace
And the pride of our beloved lands
He has slain the Disciple of the Night
While his life was slipping through his hands
For the honour of our king and country
He has accepted the fate he met
For the future he sacrificed his life
Thy name will be remembered brave Jindereth
(Arlen)
...Jindereth...
Thy name will forever be remembered in these lands
...Forever...

3. Dryads and Trolls
(Lindalë, Elven minstrel of Athelorn)
“O hear ye! Fair folk! Gather ‘round
And listen to my song
A fairytale of Sylvan Dreams
And Trolls, mighty and strong
An ancient story written
In the leaves of every tree
Of Dryadfolk and magic oaks
That set the forest free
And so the tale begins
In the snowy woods of Athelorn
On a cold and misty wintermorning
When the Dryads of the North
Heard a warning from the trees
And they started to sing”
(The Elder Oak)
Listen now, Dryad folk
This here is the Elder Oak
Something’s prowling through our most beloved woods tonight
Trolls are coming, they are near
The trees they all tremble in fear
All my branches warn me and tell me you must hide
(Dryads)
O Mother of the Woods, there must be something we can do
Although we heed your warning, know that we are not alone
We shall sing for the aid of our allies, Pixies, Sylphs and Elves
And Nymphs will come and turn the Trolls to stone
Singing for the dawn in the forest of the Dryads
At the coming nightfall we shall dance along the trees
Messengers of green, sentinels of woodland
Bound to our magical oaks eternally
But forever we’re free
(Trolls)
Bashing and ramming our way through the trees
Slaying and eating all creatures we see
Nothing can stop us from doing as we please
Masters of the wild, the Trollish way to be
Rage, hunger, bloodlust and hate
Must find food before it’s too late
Frenzied beserkers, havoc we create
Rending your flesh apart, TROLL-BAIT!!
(Nymphs)
My sisters, oh do not despair
The Sylvan League has come to aid
In the name of the Goddess of the Woods
The Dryad Grove will remain
(Trolls)
What is this puny creature, this useless waste of space
Annoying little treefolk called the Dryad race
Listen tiny buggers, you shall be our food
And all your magic treasure will be ours to loot
(Nymphs)
Turn to stone !!
(Dryads)
Singing for the dawn in the forest of the Dryads
At the coming nightfall we shall dance along the trees
Messengers of green, sentinels of woodland
Bound to our magical oaks eternally
But forever we’re...
Singing for the dawn in the forest of the Dryads
At the coming nightfall we shall dance along the trees
Messengers of green, sentinels of woodland
Bound to our magical oaks eternally
But forever we’re free
