[I. Into the Darkness]

'As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky,

the three travelers, men of Willowdale,
emerge from the forest shadow.
Fording the River Dawn, they turn south, journeying

into the dark and forbidding lands of the Necromancer
Even now the intensity of his dread power can be felt,
weakening the body and saddening the heart

Ultimately they will become empty, mindless spectres...
stripped of will and soul, only
their thirst for freedom gives them hunger for vengeance...'


Silence shrouds the forest
As the birds announce the dawn

Three trav'llers ford the river
And southward journey on
The road is lined with peril

The air is charged with fear
The shadow of his nearness
Weighs like iron tears


[II. Under the Shadow]


'Shreds of black cloud loom in overcast skies.
The Necromancer keeps watch with his magic prism eyes.
He views all his lands and is already aware of the three helpless invaders

trapped in his lair...'

Brooding in the tower

Watching o'er his land
Holding ev'ry creature
Helplessly they stand

Gaze into his prisms
Knowing they are near
Lead them to the dungeons

Spectres numb with fear
They bow defeated


[III. Return Of the Prince]

'Enter the Champion

Prince By-Tor appears to battle for freedom from chains of long years
The spell has been broken...the Dark Lands are bright.
The Wraith of the Necromancer soars

away in the night.'

Stealthily attacking

By-Tor slays his foe
The men are free to run now
From labyrinths below

The Wraith of Necromancer
Shadows through the sky
Another land to darken

With evil prism eye
