Lyrics
- Song of the Aged Man
- Song of the Black Guardian
Under the city, deep in the caves
He awaits for us, the Black Guardian
No one whoe ever caught sight of him
Lived to tell about it
If the holy Verses are spoken
And you giggle and caper around
You'll soon wipe the smile right off your face
'Cause he ambushes you when you least expect
Down in the deep, down in the dark
He awaits for us, the Black Guardian
If we stray from our Path, if we lose our way
He drags us down to the endless void below
If you search in ruins and tombs
For pathless writings and treasures
The earth opens up under your feet
And you find no gold but eternal grief
Down in the deep, down in the dark
He awaits for us, the Black Guardian
If we stray from our Path, if we lose our way
He drags us down to the endless void below
If you are three sheets to the wind
And you stagger through the alleys of Ark
A manhole cover will open up
One more step and your life will be done
Down in the deep, down in the dark
He awaits for us, the Black Guardian
If we stray from our Path, if we lose our way
He drags us down to the endless void below
Late in the night, when the pale moon shines
Over the roofs of Ark
You'll hear a screaming from deep below
A terrible spine-chilling cry
Down in the deep, down in the dark
He awaits for us, the Black Guardian
If we stray from our Path, if we lose our way
He drags us down to the endless void below
- Song of the Crimson Star
- Song of the Last Sunset
- Song of the Lost Ones
- Song of the Vatyrs
- Song of the Wayward Wanderer
Our ancient world seemed newborn in his eyes
No place could keep him, he yearned for the skies
He abandoned the way that Malphas foresaw
He followed a path of his own
And he strayed in the void as a wayward wanderer
Despising the path that was meant just for him
Yet the dreams that he sought in the deep red afterglow
Were as distant as ever before
He did find a home in the city below
Where a life neither purpose nor honor can hold
The woman who loved him held out her heart
And her suffering tore it apart
Cause he strayed in the void as a wayward wanderer
Despising the path that was meant just for him
Yet the dreams that he sought in the deep red afterglow
Were as distant as ever before
Our ancient world seemed as old as his eyes
He had lived his whole life under empty skies
When a little boy asked him for the guiding path
He said, do not risk Malphas' wrath
'Cause you'll stray in the void as a wayward wanderer
Despising the path that is meant just for you
Yet the dreams that you seek in the deep red afterglow
Are as distant as they'll ever be
- Song of the Whisperwood
- Song of the Wild Mages
- Song of the Winter Sky
Hundred men they were
As they set out to fight
For their country's banner in distant, foreign lands
He bid her farewell
A love still young and green
She thought she'd soon be in his arms again
He told her:"Await my safe return.
Trust in this last promise and stand firm
Once moonlight shines red onto the seas
We shall return in victory."
They marched off, blue banners in the sky
And teardrops were running from her eyes
Yet she thought: "If only I believe,
Time will bring him safely back to me."
[Chorus]
When the red moon casts its light
His ghost travels through the night
Through the forests on wind's wings
Until he reaches the old hill
There she kneels before his grave
Where their love had once been born
And he caresses her face
Yet she feels not his embrace
Dark and red glows the winter sky
Two souls divided by the threads of time
Days turned into weeks
Moon for moon passed by
Yet no word from the battlefields arrived
Months turned into years
Peace now ruled the lands
Empty graves were dug under the sky
But never did she doubt his last oath
Each night she stepped out into the cold
She walked through the forest, climbed the hill
Where she had once sworn her love for him
And always, when summer bid goodbye
And moonlight blood-red fell from the sky
His ghost raised from dust-forgotten bones
Searching for what he had lost too soon
[Chorus]
[Voice Bridge]
Decades had gone by; her hair ashen and thin
Realms had fallen, war and dead forgotten
When she walked the streets, they said that she was damned
A victim to a past long gone and rotten
Yet still she did not care for their words
When night came she prayed for his return
Each fall, when cold winds haunted the lands
she hoped to once again hold his hand
And as her last sunset drew close by
She lingered forgotten in the night
The moon's light shines bright upon her face
She's waiting as her life fades away
When the red moon casts its light
His ghost travels through the night
Through the forests on wind's wings
Until he reaches the old hill
There she kneels before his grave
Where their love had once been born
And as she closes her eyes
A ray of light breaks through the sky
And her skin turns into dust
As her soul breaks from its shell
And she joins him in the sky:
Two shapes now freed from grief and time
Then the winds take them away
Through the woods, it's trees asway
And she takes him by his hand
At last, in peace they find their end
Dark and red glows the winter sky
Two souls divided by the threads of time
Dark and red glowed the winter sky
Two souls united by the threads of time
