1. Earthdawn (Intro)
Once in a time where steel helped to survive and magic existed to see the unspoken - the
essential base of everything - in that time a land was growing which extended from the
Wyrm Woods to the Death's Sea and from the Wastes to the dwarven kingdom Throal. Its
name was Barsaive.
For almost everything magic was used and so the magical level rose up more and more.
Then, as it reached its highest level - the unholy dark came on earth. The shroud of
madness. The prophecy came true. Humanity hid in their Kaers which they built to escape
from eternal hell. The devastating plague crawled over the land and left death and ruins
behind. The horrors invented strange techniques to enter the Kaers. Their thirst for blood
was unquenchable. Often they possessed the mentally weak to lead their fellows to death.
And so it was for 500 years.
When the horrors left earth back to their dimension, mankind began to open the Kaers and
rebuilt the cities. Barsaive thrived in old beautiness. It took about a hundred years to
restore it.
And this is where the story takes place...
...in the age of Earthdawn
2. Lonely On The Serpent River
"We - my friend S'kirrel and me - were sailing on our ship on the back of the Serpent River,
the biggest river in Barsaive. Suddenly we discovered a body drifting in the river. As we
came closer, I noticed that this was by far the loveliest elf I had ever seen. My heart stood
still for a moment as I became aware that the girl was unconscious - and I thought hearing
the Serpent River sing..."
My head reaches the Blood Woods - the tail reaches Travar
The distance is far
And my arms like veins - are spreading through the land
The Death's Sea lies at my end
I'm crossing the mountains - I'm entering the sea
Lively and free
I'm the serpent - wild and quiet
People pay tribute or feel my might
Helplessly you're floating - darkest destiny
Is ruling thee
But your saviours - they're not far away
Hold on - still you have to stay
Lonely on the Serpent River
Lonely on the raging stream
Lonely on the Serpent River
Lonely Elf, you're embraced by me
Now they've reached you
A T'skrang and a man
Finally they saved you
And gave you hope again
Now that I lost thee - I take on my way
As every day
I'm the serpent - creeping trought the land
The Death's Sea lies at my end
Lonely on the Serpent River
Lonely on the raging stream
Lonely on the Serpent River
Lonely Elf, you're embraced by me
3. Travelling To The Blood Woods
"After coming back to life Axandria told us about her order of delivering an urgent message
to the elfin queen living in the Blood Woods. I simply couldn't resist her beautiful pleading
eyes, so we promised Axandria to accompany her, travelling to the Blood Woods..."
Dawn has come - soon we will be gone
We face the Blood Woods - the work has to be done
The sun is rising - the jungle's deep
Believing in our hopes that we keep
Sitting on her throne made of wood and of blood ruleth the queen
Wither like a rose - skin having thorns of pain - despairing scream
Where we will go no one returns - a place where sorrow dwells
Years of self mutilation - rejected by all - all beauty is gone
Passing darkness getting into light
Frightening corpses are entering our sight
Through he seemed but he opened his eyes
Boiling panic let the murder rise
Sitting on her throne made of wood and of blood ruleth the queen
Wither like a rose - skin having thorns of pain - despairing scream
Where we will go no one returns - a place where sorrow dwells
Years of self mutilation - rejected by all - all beauty is gone
Then we meet you my friend
Blood-brothers until the end
The oath holds us together
Farewell my friend - forever
Where we will go no one returns - a place where sorrow dwells
Years of self mutilation - rejected by all - all beauty is gone
4. Ti'An - A Troubadour's Ballad
"During our journey we met the ghost of a Windling. It seemed as if Ti'An had waited for us.
He told us about the danger Barsaive should be aware of. Evil is trying to destroy our world.
In order to fight the darkness we should find the Windling's diary, deep in a dungeon. This
told us Ti'An the troubadour..."
My name is Ti'An - I was a troubadour
Listen closely - I'm telling you what I've died for
Ti'An the Troubadour
A well-hearted man plays no more
His sweet voice fading away
Deep in our hearts - a place to stay
The beasts from Thera have forged an evil plan
To oppress Barsaive and enslave every man
Ti'An the Troubadour
A well-hearted man plays no more
His sweet voice fading away
Deep in our hearts - a place to stay
Hush my friends - it's time - I'm leaving you
Get my book - everything is said - I'll guide you through
Ti'An the Troubadour
A well-hearted man plays no more
His sweet voice fading away
Deep in our hearts - a place to stay
5. Demon In The Kaer
"After a while we discovered the Kaer. Many frightening creatures were waiting there for us,
but we fought with courage and finally found the diary in the heart of the Kaer. It was
guarded by a huge abominable demon. Although I was afraid of Axandria getting hurt we
fought with our last powers and defeated the monster. I'll never forget this demon in the
Kaer..."
There it is - a cave in the ground
Weed is growing out
Seeds of hate are sowed
Death pollutes the air
Dying illusions he must inhabit that Kaer
Dark - dust
In light we trust
Don't you see the darkness you wear
There's a demon in the Kaer
Dark - dust
In light we trust
Don't you see the darkness you wear
There's a demon in the Kaer
Fighting through the hordes of their master
A voice says
Come near faster
Now I feel his unholy breath
Ti'An my friend was tortured till death
Dark - dust
In light we trust
Don't you see the darkness you wear
There's a demon in the Kaer
Dark - dust
In light we trust
Don't you see the darkness you wear
There's a demon in the Kaer
6. Travar - The Golden City
"The diary told us about an evil plan of oppressing Barsaive. A necromancer from Thera had
a deal with some demons; so he achieved great powers and the ability to destroy Barsaive.
In the book we discovered the hint to go to Travar and to find that bard who needs to be
informed. Afterwards we should visit the king in Throal and report what is going on. So we
set out for Travar, the golden city..."
Looking from the Serpent - you can see a town
Here's nothing left of madness - day has wiped out dawn
Gold instead of darkness is shining all around
In protecting walls a healthy mankind can be found
Golden city - Travar is its name
In the dark hours in here they came
Bringing death and fear with them inside
Many more were killed in their chanceless fight
But still the sun rises and falls
It's a wall of life again in terrific halls
In peoples' hearts burning a glorious flame
In the city of gold - Travar is its name
I reached the gate - paid and walked in
Rush around - I must find him
The book is the key - the end is written
The bard must help me - time is fadin'
Golden city - Travar it is called
Unholy demons came and made a cruel assault
In this bloody fight many lost their lives
The nights were filled with broken people's cries
Now freedom has returned again
It's warmer and brighter than it was then
Hope has come back - now it will stay
In the city of gold justice has found its way
Finally the elfin bard is telling tales at the bar
As I enter the House of the Sun in golden Travar
Golden city - Travar is its name
In the dark hours in here they came
Bringing death and fear with them inside
Many more were killed in their chanceless fight
But still the sun rises and falls
It's a wall of life again in terrific halls
In peoples' hearts burning a glorious flame
In the city of gold - Travar is its name
7. Home Of The Traders - Barterstown
"In the forecourt of Throal lies Barterstown, Barsaive's biggest market. It's a place where all
different species and cultures gather and trade. Together with the beautiful Axandria and
S'kirrel we were amazed at the home of the traders..."
There's only one street in this city
The golden gate to Throal so pretty
A market where you get everything
Weapons, food and things for spelling
Chaos everywhere
Have you ever been there
Where a hero's heart strikes higher
Take care you could deal with a liar
Gamblers playing for money
Bards singing songs like honey
Ships are flying through the air
Crowds of races everywhere
Only once a year
The greatest swordsmen meet here
To find out who's the best
In Barsaive's biggest fighting contest
The home of the traders is called Barterstown
The door to Throal - home of the crown
All this lying to his feet
Where every man gets everything he needs
Hungry and with tired feet
We're looking for a place to sleep
See the last days in our faces
We only need some warm places
The big blue mountains to Throal
Are the target we're heading for
We have to see the king
Got bad news for him to bring
The home of the traders is called Barterstown
The door to Throal - home of the crown
All this lying to his feet
Where every man gets everything he needs
8. King's Hall
"After arriving in Throal, leaving Barterstown behind, we managed to get an audience with
the king. As a proof handed over the Windling's diary. I still can't believe talking to the ruler
of Throal in the King's hall..."
The mountains of Throal are his home
He's the one who reigns
The one who wears the crown
The mighty palace built of stone
We have to bring the book
So let's get to the throne
Hail and glory to you - freedom you will bring
Together standing tall in the hall of the king
Banners hanging off the wall
With strongly beating hearts
We enter the King's hall
There you are our mighty king
In honour we kneel down
To the ruler of everything
Hail and glory to you - freedom you will bring
Together standing tall in the hall of the king
"Now leave me - the passions are with you
Saviours of the land
You all know what to do
The kingdom is right behind your back
Bring it to an end
And break Iostros' neck"
Hail and glory to you - freedom you will bring
Together standing tall in the hall of the king
9. Iostros
"The king allowed us to collaborate with his secret service. With the information provided by
them we discovered that the magician behind the evil plan was a man from Thera called
Iostros. He was one of the most popular traders in Barterstown, leading a life disguised as a
trader but conspiring against humanity. Time was urging and we headed to Iostros..."
There's someone who's despising mankind
There's someone here preaching the dark
But no one cares - they're all so blind
Seeking justice we will set a mark
Magic surrounds us
Now that your time has come
Justice is done
We're sent by the light
To turn the black back to white
Don't hail the wrong
Together we're strong
Soon you'll burn
And then the tides will turn
Revenge for all the lives you took
Now faith is coming over you
All your crimes realized by one look
You're guilty - justice will come true
Magic surrounds us
Now that your time has come
Justice is done
We're sent by the light
To turn the black back to white
Don't hail the wrong
Together we're strong
Soon you'll burn
And then the tides will turn
When the dance begins
Magic flows through thee
We feel our bones breaking
But our strength sets us free
Feel the power - taste the steel
Our agony is what you feel
You turn away in hate
Cowardly fleeing through the gate
Now that your time has come
Justice is done
We're sent by the light
To turn the black back to white
Don't hail the wrong
Together we're strong
Soon you'll burn
And then the tides will turn
10. My Love Still Exists
"It was a dreadful fight but we were victorious once again. But the joy of victory was spoilt
by the conversation I had with Axandria afterwards. Although we both admitted to love each
other, we agreed to walk separated ways because we were too different for each other. It
nearly broke my heart, because my love still exists..."
Now you will see - sadness overwhelms me
Nothing more left to live or to be
Even when you're gone
You will live deep in me
My love still exists
And the wind tells your name
Even when you're gone
The distance is less far
My love still exists
Axandria
I'll miss you
I'll be with you
Forever
How shall I carry on with such a pain inside
Roaming under this wicked sky
Now you will leave - my love will always follow you
Believe me - I know that you do
Even when you're gone
You will live deep in me
My love still exists
And the wind tells your name
Even when you're gone
The distance is less far
My love still exists
Axandria
I'll miss you
I'll be with you
Forever
11. Déjà Vu (Outro)
Now many years have passed. I'm sitting at a waterfall and think of the adventures I
experienced. I remember S'kirrel and of course Axandria who left a hole in my heart.
Somehow I miss the old times. And so I'm resting here, thinking back of our quest and
remember all m emotions...! By the way, I met Axandria again, but that is another story."
