1. Intro (The Honor of a Thief)
01. Intro (The honor of the thief)
When the night has fallen
When citizens have slept
Thats when gems are stolen
And no signs are left
Dexteritous we are
We cannot be hit
None of (the) grabby band
of the agile thieves
In the sign of gold
We cannot resist
For sure we won't be caught
We're not even seen
We enter towns at night
By climbing over (their) gates
We do what they call crimes
But these are only games
(Chorus #1)
We steal, we sneak, we hide
We gouge you in the eye
Backstabbing with our knives
And then we get your lives
But then we'll flee away
Away from men of law
We'll be where we're safe
In our guild with (other) thieves and rogues
Cos if we're ever caught
Unlikely to happen
We'll face the hangman's rope
Which isn't what we're after
(Chorus #2)
We steal, we sneak, we hide
We gouge you in the eye
We dodge all your attacks
But stab you really hard
We pick the lock
of your own home
We get your gold
but we want more
We throw our daggers
in your heart
And then you scream
but we attack!
(Chorus #3)
We steal, we sneak, we hide
We gouge you in the eye
And when you thing we're dead
It was really feign death
You'll never find a corpse
of an experienced rogue
You'll only find out
your pouch's been emptied out
(Repeat Chorus #1)
2. The Legend of the Hidden Gem
02. The Legend of the Hidden Gem
Listen fellow thieves...
I didn't mean to make you end your song in that way.
But I have something important to say; a story that
would interest every real thief... I learned that story
from a poor mage in the prison I was led to as an outlaw.
He'll die on the stake by dusk tomorrow, accused of
casting spells against a King's Herald, so the story would have gone with
him if I hadn't persuaded him tell it to me...
A story about a treasure, beyond your wildest imagination.
It is a well-hidden Gem but yet it has been locked into a magic chest in
a Tower so huge.
It is the Ancient Tower of Doom, which has been isolated generations ago
by the Ancient Mages who once lived there. Now only doomed spirits, lost
souls and ghosts dwell there... The Gem is priceless and whoever would
manage to steal it would be the next Masterthief, and also a very rich one
And I say manage, for the journey is a perilous one and the tower is full
of traps and evil spells.
The only way to approach this cursed tower is to find the map, which is as
I was told by the mage locked in a chest placed in the Danukk Woods.
But there is a lot more about that gem...
3. Through the Eyes of the Bards
03. Through the Eyes of the Bards
But Sonath left
the den so fast
He didn't hear of Garul
He'll try to steal
The hidden gem
The demon he'll set free
Come wipe my tears
come cry with me
For Garul will soon be free
Come wipe my tears
come cry with me
For this land's destiny
Come wipe my tears
come cry with me
For Sonath's avarice
Come wipe my tears
come cry with me
For this land's destiny
Now he took what
he needed to go
His journey will soon begin
This journey of greed
That shall end with doom
Sent by the demon Garul
Lon and Von
Imprisoned him once
Their brilliant spell worked good
Now Garul
Is aware of that spell
He will not fail again
4. A Perilous Journey
04. A Perilous Journey
I'll waste no time I will not sleep
Right now I will begin
I take my dagger (and) my lock-picks
For I shall kill and steal
I started walking hours ago
I must be near the woods
Where I'm heading, I don't know
Nor where's the Tower of Doom
Finally I made my way
to this scary place
And now its time for me to pay
the price of avarice
I'm pacing through, this tiring path
My will's what keeps me going
Can't find the chest, can't find the map
Oh, what is this that's glowing
A faery in sight, a glorious sight
She dances (and) leads me to
The chest that I couldn't find
For big they are the woods
(Come follow me, for I'm the one
Who'll lead you to the map)
After two days, after two nights
after the dangers (which I have) past
I've killed three orcs, I've killed a knight
But have the the map at last
(You have it now, sneak inside
the demon please set free)
(Chorus)
Through the woods, by rivers side
Into wealth I will ride
Perilous is, Perilous was
Perilous shall it be
This quest for gold, the quest for more
Or will it end with death?
Am I the one to cross the bridge
Am I to pick the lock
Of the chest where the gem is said
to exist till I break in
Perilous is, Perilous was
Perilous shall it be
Runes in map, (I) can't understand
Can only read "Garul"
What could this be? Could it be,
the name of a rich king
The more I walk, the closer (I) get
The more I feel the gem
I hear it now, It's calling me
"Come get me, make me free"
According to, the ancient map
The tower is two hours walk
Can't wait to see, Can't wait (to) break in
Can't wait to sneak inside
(Chorus)
Through the woods, by rivers side
Into wealth I will ride
Perilous is, Perilous was
Perilous shall it be
This quest for gold, the quest for more
Or will it end with death?
Am I the one to cross the bridge
Am I to pick the lock
Of the chest where the gem is said
to exist till I break in
Perilous is, Perilous was
Perilous shall it be
5. At the Sight of the Ancient Tower
6. Sneaking Towards the Gem
06. Sneaking towards the Gem
The gates are now open
Under the cover of night
like every real thief
I will go in
I'm sneaking and hiding
For strange and dangerous
Creatures that dwell here
They are watching me
I can hear their voices,
Screams and wolves' howlings
But these won't scare me
The gem belongs to me
Where could the gem be
I can't still be far from it
I hear it whispering
"Come set me free"
(Chorus 1)
Dark, secrets are kept in
here, that mages hide well
I, feel the magic of
Them, though no spell can stop
Me, from stealing the Hidden
Gem, the magic chest I
Will, pick with ease and I'll
Leave, And march homewards
Remove traps
Sneak and hide
Dodge the darts
You're inside
Feel the gem
Feel the stone
Feel it in your bones
Pick the doors
Make your way
Through dark halls
Hasten pace
Harry up
You're the one
You're the Masterthief
I found where the chest is
It's glowing with a dark light
It's small and it's black
It's also carved
Statues seem to guard it
They are gargoyle-shaped
Their eyes seem to glow
But a non-evil light
The chest may be locked
but no lock can resist my picks
Now I cannot be stopped
I'm opening it
A blinding flash with smoke and
awful smell comes out
I steal the gem and run
I want to go back
(Chorus 2)
Can't, believe that I'm holding
It, is so beauty-
Full, my pouch from now on will
Be, Oh I'm so rich
You, Try to stop me and
Die, by my dagger
Which, shall guard me and my
Gem, it is mine now
...the demon's now free...
7. Garul's Salvation
07. Garul's Salvation
Now this mortal set me free
And now its time for me to kill
To avenge the Mages for what they've done
To me the Unholy one
The earth will shiver upon my wrath
They'll regret for what they've done
Not even the bravests of men
Shall be able to prevent
Bow to me or you will die
Leaving this world far behind
Blood shall only quench my thirst
And this time will be the first
After years spent in the damned magic chest
Locked without the powers that I now possess
Nothing can be compared
to the evil and harm I can bear
I, Garul, The Demon, Free
Die, You're doomed, I'll see Von, Bleed
Warriors and Knights, drop your swords now
Your shield won't stand my strength, so bow!
Armors even made by the gods
Can't block my wimpiest punch
Clerics, pray to your God
Who shivers, now, without a chance
The wounds made by my powerful hits
Can't be for sure healed
Mages, you know your fate
you all will now pay
You'll be the first I'll destroy
I'll crack your souls like a toy
I, Garul, The Demon, Free
Die, You're doomed, I'll see Lon, Bleed
Thieves, Assassins and Rogues
Your can't backstab me, I'll crash your bones
Sneak and hide but you will be seen
I've nothing but mortal blood (for you) to steal
Rangers, slaves of chipmunks
I'm not afraid of the longbows in your hands
Your forests will turn to ash
Cos I'll breathe; and my breath is Fire
Bards, write your last songs
Melancholy shall fill them all
None, of you shall scare me
Your songs can't put me to sleep
I, Garul, The Demon, Free
Die, You're doomed, Sonath, Flee
Sonath, you pitiful thief
Run away, for you set me free
Run, run while you can
For thee, will be the last one
Who will... Die!
Die!
8. On Sonath's Way Back Home (A Faery Appears)
08. On Sonath's Way Back Home (A Faery Appears)
Sonath:
Ha! I just let... A cry
For I am now... So happy
Now I've got to... Turn back
I will follow... The path... On the map
Try to stop me... And die
For the gem is... Now mine
Walking through... The woods
Thieve's I'll rule... The fools... Think I'm dead
Oh how sweet... A faery
A surprise of... Today
After all dan-... gers past
A divine being... Stands... In front of me
Danelriath:
Greetings Sonath
I'm Danelriath
a faery of these woods
and I'll inform you
about what you will go through
Sonath:
"How do you know my name, and inform me about what?"
Danelriath:
I know enough to know
your name
but yet not enough
to tell where from that demon came
Sonath:
"What demon what are you talking about?"
Danelriath:
Inside the magic chest
the Ancient Mages
had imprisoned a demon
whose name is Garul
He's oh, so powerful
Our fate is sorrowfull
Evil shall take our lives
You can't help with your knives
My advice is to run
Run now, while you can
Gather a fearsome group
A party, to defeat Garul
Von and Lon you should find
And the Ancient Ones
Prepare to fight
Against the evil one
Sonath:
Oh what have I done Garul I have set free. Why didn't
Grimlet said about this. Oh, damn my greed!
