Rise of the Black Witch
03:48
|

She rides the High Seas
Driven by the Black Winds of Hell
She, mistress to thee
She holds your life in her spell
Sailors call her Satan's Ship
Unholy One so cold
They fear to feel the frozen flame
That lives within her hold
Tis the rise of the Black Witch
She comes with the night
With the moon
Rising for you out of the sea
She, demon queen
Spellbound you are, you cannot flee
Hear the insane laughter
As the crew hails you aboard
There's nothin' you can do but pray
Pray to die
Sailing away on a night neverending
Is there no penance for all of my sinning?
A nightmare?
Can't tell if it's all in my head
Satan release me
Sailing away on a night neverending
No absolution
Possessed, a demon's at home in my head
Satan release me
(I'm better off dead)

Dimmendark

Shadows fall 'pon the land
'Waken'd evil breaking Adon's ban
Marching from the North,
Modru's minions come to claim
The lives of Man
Changes Day to Winternight
Wall of Darkness hides them from our sight
Frosted dreams
Screams of evil fill the Night
Mystic Shadowlight
Gather'd 'neath spectral Light
Cloak'd in Darkness
Bloody sacred rites
Magick Dark enslave the world
For all eternity in Shadowlight
Blacken'd Sun stand over all
Winter War shall bring the final Fall
In anguish'd cries
Doomsayers prophesy
The rise of the Mark
Deathly Dimmendark

Sanctuary Lost
05:20
|

Ivory towers, tall and bold
Mythic tales from Days Gone By
Towers that reach to the sky
To touch the Sun
One would stand upon the tallest spire
At one with the gods
At peace with oneself
Tis a fantasy for me
No rest for my tormented soul
Sanctuary lost
Time
Witness to the Fall of Mankind
Ages of Glory turn to dust
But with the passage of Time
Comes Hope and New Dreams
A New Age of Man arise
As the tears of the gods fall
And give New Life
To our Ancient World
I, the one, forever
Destin'd to hear the Call, and take heed
I, Bane of Darkness and Light
Have no one
No respite
Rest my soul

A Perilous Quest
06:26
|
|||
In the Halls of the Goblin King
There lies an ancient Ring
Forg'd in Faerie Fire
'Twas ev'ry hearts desire
Lost in Days of Olde
The Ring of Sylvangold
It calls to you and I
Spirit of the Ruling Ring
Ring of Magick, wild and strong
Sings to me its Siren Song
A Song of Hope, with bold refrain
Tho' many Ages it has lain
Forgotten in forbidden halls
Still the Ringwraith Spirit calls
It calls to you and I
Beware--'Tis a perilous quest!
"Champion, come to me
Together we shall rule the Land
Magick Ring and Iron Hand
'Tis your Fate--your Destiny
O come and set my Spirit free"
With all these words, and many more
I found myself at Oaken Door
Behind which precious treasures lie
By mystic means and mortal might
I found myself beyond the Door
And lo, found bodies by the score
Their grinning skulls cleft in twain
The victims of a madden'd reign
A reign of blood, and no mistake
They came my precious Ring to take
It calls to you and I
Beware--'Tis a perilous quest!
"Champion, before you
Lie the bones of those who came before
To seek what lies beyond the Door
These champions of Iron and Steel
What secrets, could they talk, reveal
Of Lurking Death from Ages past
Return their breath!
The spell is cast"
Rattle of bones and deathly sigh
*Silence fills the deathly air
No words to chase the gath'ring Gloom
For you, the Chosen, have enter'd its Tomb
And Broken seals bring Dark despair
Rituals of Death prepare
Magick Ring entomb'd in stone
Awaits the One to wield the Might
Foretold in dreams of endless Night
The King--the One who wins the Throne
He sits in Darkness
All alone
*Ending lyrics were added after the recording was complete, so they do not appear on the EP version.
