I. into darkness

As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky, the
three
Travelers, men of willow dale, 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...
