1. Divine Right
-Part One: The Great Alliance-
-Elven Verse-
An unseen enemy comes sneaking in from the north
Forests cover their approach - Our scouts could not defend
They want to end our elven way of life
What must the elves hath done to them
Inhuman invaders from the southern wastes
With elven bows we will not hesitate
What a great destruction for these pests pronounce
Death for them - The elves shall not renounce
-Alliance Chorus-
An eye for an eye... You can't deter - Cover the ground with their blood and fur
Cut them apart at the root of their cause - Down with this mage who they worship (IUZ)
-Dwarven Verse-
A blanket of snow has covered their tracks
A dwarvish war party has picked up their band
The hours upon us with an evil advance
Destruction up on them as the horde doth commence
A view to behold - The dwarves fought off the attack
A war horn is blowing as the dwarves up their hand
Call forth the raiders that are hidden in caves
The dwarves set an ambush for just such events
-Alliance Chorus-
-Pledge of the Three Nations-
You thought that we would all take this lying down
We three kingdoms are about to denounce
We will flood over your souls like a plague of the dead
Destroy all your children asleep in their beds
You dare to attack us, premeditated advance
Defense was before an offensive is planned
We will march to the Pomarj and free it from harm
Iuz commands you - It's him we'll disarm
-Alliance Chorus-
-Human Verse-
To the west all the humans have deterred all attacks
But haven't prepared for what's about to commence
An attack from the south with a dragon to start
Fireballs reign down with abandon (Depart)
Bowmen get ready and aim when he's close
Don't miss my lads or were all in the roast
Where did they come from and who is their master?
MARCH TO THE NORTH AND LET'S GET THE BASTARD
-Part Two: Divine Right-
-Decree of the Pomarj-
We serve Iuz. High lord in this Holy Land
We’re strong. Rule lain down with an iron hand
We are many. With our number we will infest
Your land. We take because we can
Raised from birth to become strong in ways of war
The slow and the weak soon perish. Dominion what we shall strive for
Your races foster the weak and drag them along
Each of our generations becomes stronger as the strong live to breed the strong
-Pomarj Chorus-
We’ll fight for lord and land to drive the invaders out
You will not take the Pomarj!
Many more of your innocents will perish in our raids
Iuz commands your death!
-Promise of the Pomarj-
Every race – assembled to defeat yours
There are Trolls – to devour every knight on every horse
The giants – come down from the hills to eat the dwarves
And elves – made short work by the orcish horde
Ogres brandish oaken clubs to squish your little heads
Hobgoblin warriors with jagged spears to leave your infantry dead
Crafty gnolls with the strongest bows. Death is what they love
Mighty dragons command the skies to bring fire from above
-Pomarj Chorus-
-The Pomarj Creed-
We’re coming - Our monstrous hordes advance
There’s dying - We fear not the horseman’s lance
Overrun - The might of the gods collide
Rivers of blood flow from every side
Iuz commands your death!
-Part Three: Eye for an Eye-
...The allied armies of the three great nations marched at once towards their final battle against the evil sub-humanoids of the Pomarj. With their snare drums tapping for them to march in time, the soldiers wonder what the night may have in store for them. As they reach the crest of a hill they see only darkness and hear nothing... Suddenly, the terrible sound of a thousand orcish war drums awakens the night. Then, a thousand torches slowly come to life to cast an eerie illumination across the armies of the Pomarj. The soldiers know that some of them will fall, unmercifully slaughtered in battle, having never known if the battle and their deaths were in vain... Some shall spend the last of their days as slaves before the beasts consume their flesh... Although the humans, elves, and dwarves are very scared - for they know that most will never again see their families and homelands - they also know that Iuz must once and for all be stopped - at any cost - and sent to hell...
2. Dungeon Master
-Verse 1-
Dungeon Master calls my name - I call you to play the game
Dungeon Master sets the stage - A ravaged land and an evil mage
Trade your doubt for a sharp blade or go back to the fields!
What is our quarry? What is our plan? - Defeat the dark horde in the Northern Lands
Can we succeed in your demands? - Just follow me with sword in hand
-Chorus-
Dungeon Master X2
-Verse 2-
Your quest begins, cleanse the dragon’s lair - Skin the beast. Take all that is there!
A captured scroll will lend a clue - On to the castle, run the villain through
Let your fear guard you, you must never give in!
His numerous warriors will hold you back - I'll rally the peasants & lead the attack
The day will be bloody, but we must prevail - Widows and children will remember your tale
-Chorus-
Dungeon Master X4
-Bridge-
Dungeon Master, will I give in to sin? - I will do my best to lure you in
Why hath God laid this burden on me? - Is this not God’s answer to your mortal plea?
-Solo-
-Verse 3-
The gates are broken, let our forces advance - A courtyard ambush may foil your plans
Make a bridge of the corpses, do not relent - A warrior’s code allows no lament
The heart of darkness may still destroy you!
A sorcerer lies in wait, his power great - My brethren have fallen, consumed by this hate
I will avenge my brothers, run this villain through - You may now rest easy for your sword strikes true
Flee now warrior and live another day - I’ll fight the good fight and live the warrior’s way
But the warrior’s life, it knows no rest - Then I’ll fight by the sword until I die by the sword!
-Chorus-
Dungeon Master X8
3. The Elves Of Night
-Verse 1-
The elves of darkness / Wage war upon the land / Into your lives
A blackened dagger / Roars out of the darkness / Pierces your heart with much contempt
The elven knights / Shunned by those of lawful lands / They find no rest or peace
And Pholtus’ light / Drives away the darkness / But thusly blinds them so
-Chorus-
The Elves of Night! The elves of might...
-Verse 2-
A lone assassin / Creeps into where you dwell / Who will save you?
The Elves of Night!
He lifts his blade / There is a sound he does not hear / A silhouette appears behind him
He hears no sound / For silence have they cast / A body slumps to the floor
NEVERMORE! NEVERMORE!
-Chorus-
The Elves of Night! The elves of might...
The Elves of Night! The elves of might...
-Verse 3-
Silently they leave your home /Lo! You will be left alone
When your ingratitude they can no longer stand
These elven warriors / Seen only in the blink of an eye
Eternally watchful of evil… Evil… Evil in the land
-Chorus-
The Elves of Night! The elves of might...
The Elves of Night! The elves of might...
-Guitar Solo-
-Chorus-
The Elves of Night!
4. The Evil Keep
-Verse 1-
For many days now, I have lead my warriors in fight after fight
Desecrate the wicked, and expose them to the light
Burn down the walls of agony and pain
No remorse for the villain, their death shall I bring
Life without battle is pain without blood
Drag you through sorrow, and expose you to good
My intentions are lawful but I just can’t defend
Good is a virtue: worry it to the end
-Chorus-
Raise the militia – we go to war/This brand of evil – I settle the score
None shall defy us – wrongful intent/Sardath behind us – the power of death
-Verse 2-
The Evil Keep stands alone – a pure bastion of hate
We must defend the values of a purely dwarven state
The lesson learned by all inside is watch your backs
A group of peasants bring you down – prepare for the attack
A mighty lord leads the charge – his will is not his own
A pawn of values that he believes – Tempus burns his soul
War is life... And the pain... It is the breath that keeps us going on
Cleanse the earth of all these demons that call this keep their home
-Chorus-
-Bridge-
War is what makes men of boys, women of girls, brings a nation joy
And another defeat, it’s not sad to say there are mice, there are men, and that is the way
God be willing this shall never cease, that humanity should sink to making peace
I fear the day when battle is resolved with words
The preemptive strike had set the stage. The dwarf and his friends had war to wage
War was the cause, war and chaos alone. The clash of swords was Sardath’s throne
Tempus cares not whose blood is spilled, long may it keep his chalice filled
Delivered with much malice
-Solo-
-Breakdown-
War is good for merchants and war is good for kings
Let the warriors battle and their tales the minstrels sing
War makes friends of strangers and brothers enemies
Agony surely passes. We do as we please
-Verse 3-
The enemy is driven from the keep – They stand before us now
Lined up for the trial – Whose life will we allow?
The human Sardath is judge and jury – executioners at his side
These are just our simple ways when off to war we ride
-Chorus-
5. The Glory And The Steel
6. Night Boat
7. Ravenloft
-Verse 1-
Ten thousand years since I was born - A bloody corpse feels like home
All I have to waste is life - I do not age, my hunger never subsides
A fiend, you scream, when you seem near - Nothing else can I do, but use your fear
Your pulse it beats like a drum you see - Violence unwillingly satisfies me
-Chorus-
The womb of creation - A land of hell
So strong in me (So strong in me) - The blood lands swell
It calls to me (It calls to me) - On tattered wings of red
Ravenloft to you An oath I pledge
-Verse 2-
There are many wraithen blood knights - Taking up the war
In the land of many gods
There was never a darkness this close before
Blood sports bore me - I wish to have real killing…
-Solo-
-Chorus-
-Bridge-
A sniff on the wind - Someone not of my line, drifting through my lands
If you be not one of my minions, I think then you be food
I sit in my castle and I prey on the living, breathing cattle
On top of the food chain - E.V.I.L. is my name
Lord Dracul - I am your principal retainer
A darkest unliving thing - A mass grave your demeanor
What could ever save me - I want to end it now
Bring the walls of evil bloodlust crashing to the ground
-Solo-
-Verse 3-
Pholtus I hate you, but love you still
You weren't there to save me, but I need for you to kill
This thing in me that I've become
Bring your shining light down and make me one with the sun
-Chorus-
8. Riding On My Horse
-Verse 1-
Riding on my horse
Don’t know where I’m going
At least I know I’m free
Riding on my horse
Don’t know what I’m doing
At least I can be free
Don’t know where I’m headed
Only where I’ve been
Fighting to be free
-Chorus-
Riding on my Horse
-Verse 2-
`Cross the countryside
God, I can’t wait to ride
Bastardsword at my side
My fate is in my hands
My only friends are the open land,
My horse and battle. I have no home
-Chorus-
Riding on my Horse
-Bridge-
-Verse 3-
I am blessed by clear skies
The wind blows through my hair
I’ll ride into the night
Riding on my horse
Don’t know where I’m going
At least I know I’m free X3
9. Sergeant-At-Arms
Verse 1-
My legacy is stated by the stature of my sword
It's always at the ready and well it serves its lord
When aroused to combat then the wise shall know: Beware!
My strength is great, my blade is long, will run deeper if you care
-Chorus-
Prepared for combat, an instinctual need
My blade at the ready, hand on the sheath
When I attack I am not alone
A million stand behind me. Lads, we’ll soon be going home
Sergeant-At-Arms
-Verse 2-
My longbow is a fearsome thing, never shall it miss its mark
Surely you’ll remember the day I go hunting in the dark
My specialty is headshots, now, so open up your eyes
For the delivery as I let my messenger fly
-Chorus-
-Bridge-
My sword guides my way. You won’t run away
You’ll go down and be run aground
And my sword's tip in you shall dip
You’re a trembling mass, seen your maker at last
-Verse 3-
Ready yourself, sly predator, for I liken you to prey
My halberd boast a mighty range
It’s cleaver-like swing attack and massive iron head
May split thee in two and leave thee asking how deep the blade is fed
-Chorus-
10. Stalin The Burly
-Verse 1-
He came to us on devil's wings. From the east was where he hailed
He pays homage to no man or beast. He cannot be found... Evil has no face
You try to cage him and you pay the price
He made a deal with the devil – not once but thrice
-Pre-Chorus-
Don't ever think that he's your friend – watch out as he extends his hand
-Chorus-
They say that stealth is his weapon and the dagger his only friend
He covered it in poison as he extends his left hand
-Verse 2-
You’d better watch him – he won’t ever let you go
A dwarven fighter his only friend, he'd just as soon slit your throat
A mighty battle fought, but not from within
He knows exactly what to do – kill you to win
-Pre-Chorus-
When he sees that shiny golden prize – he will kill to get it and he doesn't care who dies
-Chorus-
-Bridge-
Beware that shadow that's beyond your site
Out beyond your view – beyond the firelight
An assassin creeping unseen and unheard
Garrote and blinding powder – a dagger unfurled
-Verse 3-
He thinks that life is just for him to rape and pillage in the name of his deity
The goddess Sue in the city of Cleavage. He destroys in worship – he is the death shaman
Who is this demon – walking among the good
He is an evil unlike any that you have heard
-Chorus-
-Chorus-
-Pre-Chorus-
His will is his own – he bows to one
He is mother fucking Stalin the Burly, son
11. Stoneforger
-Penny Whistle/Drum Intro-
-Verse 1-
There came a dwarf from the Wild Coast who tasted blood each day he woke
Five warriors he did lead in search of battle and best of dwarven mead (Indeed)
Keltris knew not much of stealth. The dragon woke and his warriors fell
But to the victors go the spoils, hidden within the serpent’s coils (Keep your sword oiled)
-Pre-Chorus-
They hid the gold and took the dragon’s head
To collect bounty and find the comfort of a woman’s bed
-Chorus-
A mighty dwarf, a hero to the weak, good intentions led astray
Amend your ways – bring honor to your name
-Verse 2-
Tell me children have you heard the tale of Monty of the Vaulting Spear
(He knew no fear) when good Stoneforger let his squire fly (Into the sky)
Keltris knows one way to wage war and they brought the tower to the ground
(It was no more) he returned to his master’s side, they slew their foes, the women cried
-Pre-Chorus-
Sardath smiled and Keltris bore the pain
Keltris was coerced by evil and many innocents had died that day
-Chorus-
-Bridge-
(He deals death) To the wicked of the land
(He brings death) No Orc shall live
(Yeah) He deals death
(Beware) Lest his axe fall on you
-Penny Whistle/Drum Interlude-
-Verse 3-
The people of Bantum, a hero they sought. Stoneforger arrived with his warrior flock
Dressed in steel and skulls he’s took, heavily armored from his helm to his boot (captured loot)
A people afflicted by a scourge of the land, a villain elusive like grains of sand
And guarded by his dragons too, Keltris knew what he must do (To his heart be true)
-Pre-Chorus-
Dried blood streaked `cross his hands and brow
Does the steadfast warrior shed a tear? Fights for good, his name evil fears
-Chorus-
A mighty dwarf, a hero to the weak, good intentions led astray
Come one, come all: let us sing the joyous refrain
-Bridge-
12. The Tarasque
-Chorus-
The elves and the dwarves
They will fight
From the shadows
Into the night
…And the Tarasque makes a sound like…
RUFF!
-Verse 1-
An elven scout comes riding in, a message many died to bring
An attack upon the elven lands a Duergar army comes to win
Lead by an evil mage they come to rape and plunder
Kill they elves all they have said, they mean to bring us under
-Chorus-
-Verse 2-
From the realm of the elven lands a soldier is born of every man
We will quell these buggers from our land
They will die with their hearts in our hands - you have desecrated our land
You have brought filth to our homes. You laid this sickness upon us
-Chorus-
-Bridge-
The mage made a pact with an evil god
To call forth a demon from the underworld
The Tarasque sent to maim each and every foe
What he wrought shall begot each man
We elves hath said we shall quell this eternal foe
The Duergar and this mage will be imprisoned in death
-Chorus-
-Breakdown/Guitar Solo-
-Chorus-
13. Wolf In The Woods
