The Mystic Prophecy Of The Demonknight
Rhapsody Of Fire
[Part I: A New Saga Begins]
Into the darkness they crossed the marsh
And entered the frozen cave
A secret path was cut into the rock
A labyrinth, a twisted maze
An unknown misty haze
Open your heart
Then your mind's eyes
Khaas' eyes focused on the grey rock
He saw it in a different way
The riddle soon would be solved
An illusion was carved in the stone
The arrows show where to go
Trust in yourself
Truth awaits you there
Crawling on their hands and knees
Dark is their endless journey
So deep the cave of bats
But they will go on and on
They are the last hope
For men, dragons and dwarves
Spirits of the forests
Shy elves and trolls
Five go from Elgard
Into the darkness leaving the light
To find the Black Order's
Immortal dark rhymes
To find the written words
By Hellgod's unholy son
Prevent him from returning
And save the whole world
Through the valley of sin
Led by the whispers of holy wind
Into Dar-Kunor a new saga begins
The well of dead souls appears
A red river's flowing inside
There's no way to cross
There's no way to climb
They wish they were birds and could fly
Fly to the other side
There's a message
On the dark stone
They discovered a massive dark stone
Atop it a riddle inscribed:
Walk in the bloody abyss
Led onward by Nekron's black will
Find the courage in his name
Search your conscience
Read between those words:
Yes, and now I know
Nekron's name is all that
We need to solve this mystery
Iras spoke those holy words
They are the last hope
For men, dragons and dwarves
Spirits of the forests
Shy elves and trolls
Five go from Elgard
Into the darkness leaving the light
To find the Black Order's
Immortal dark rhymes
To find the written words
By Hellgod's unholy son
Prevent him from returning
And save the whole world
Through the valley of sin
Led by the whispers of holy wind
Into Dar-Kunor a new saga begins
Hoc te damno vita
Hac in damno porta
[Part II: Through the Portals of Agony]
[Iras Algor:]
And so this new riddle finally revealed itself to me
The solution lay in Nekron's name, in the nekranos alphabet
Certain numbers corresponding to the letters of his name
Aligned in accordance with black geometry
Enabling us to walk on invisible steps across the silent abyss
Reaching the other side of the cave
Unknown horrors awaited us behind those two dark portals
[Tarish:]
By all the gods of my nordic lands
We are at the gates of death!
[Khaas:]
They were built with the severed limbs of humans and elves
[Dargor:]
Under the orders of my father, Vankar
[Lothen:]
I can feel suffering in every rock
[Iras:]
Listen to the silence!
[Tarish:]
That must be the great hall
[Dargor:]
The unholy place where the Black Order was born
[Part III: The Black Order]
Since 5000 years
Age of primordial wars
The men of the known world
Read Nekron's manuscripts
Power, blood and luxury
Attracted some of them
Who denied the gift of light
Sealed their bloody faith to
Hell, Kron and his son
He revealed to them the key to
Resurrect his soul
He would be the avenger of his death
Nekron once dead
Would survive in their faith
Here they came
To pray for him
A new black order
Dar-Kunor was
A gathering of fools
Evil seed for new
Tragic wars
Sacrifice of innocents
Darkest rites with human flesh
This was written in the books
Seven like the sins of men
But horror fills the one that keeps
The most terrible prophecy
With it Nekron gave the key
To awaken him from sleep
Sad, dark, prophecy
Our heroes have to find it
Or the world will suffer
The last book contains another key
All the wizards know
The seventh book's the only hope
There may be a key
In the seventh book
A message for the evil order
How to hide
The angels' rhymes
So they never will be seen again
[Part IV: Nekron's Bloody Rhymes]
[Khaas:]
Great lords of thunder!
The seventh lost book, there upon the altar?
[Dargor:]
Yes, that is the book. I am sure of it!
I've heard my father describe it many times
[Tarish:]
Let us take it and leave this godforsaken place!
[Iras:]
The legendary evil book is now in our hands!
[Dargor:]
Let us make haste, this was too easy
[Part V: Escape From Horror]
[Khaas:]
What are these noises?
[Tarish:]
What's going on?
[Iras:]
Removing it has awakend some nameless horror
[Khaas:]
Let us leave here now
[Tarish:]
Look, there!
Hands coming up from the ground!
[All togheter:]
Come on
Get away from here
Let's move!
Scene di vita
Eroica memoria
Verso la luce
Della speranza
Nel cieco oblio
Della lor fuga
Nel grigio limbo
Tra vita e morte
Fleeing through the labyrinths
With the hordes of the living dead fast upon them
Once again they found themselves trapped in front of the abyss
But with no time to think about black geometry
They leaped into the red river
For any death would have been better than the one waiting for them
Created by the hungry creatures of darkness
Ossa e fango!
Ma il respiro c' e'!
Covered by skulls and bones
In Hargor's marsh they found a way to hide
From the sons of darkness
Who betrayed the angels' light
They are the last hope
For men, dragons and dwarves
Spirits of the forests
Shy elves and trolls
Five went from Elgard
Into the darkness leaving the light
To find the Black Order's
Immortal dark rhymes
To find the written words
By Hellgod's unholy son
Prevent him from returning
And save the whole world
Finally out of the dark
They see the light of the Moon
They stole from Dar-Kunor
The seventh black book
