Task of the Sages Lyrics


great evil befalls us

as the writings always foretold

great evil befalls us

as the writings always foretold

written in stone is also

utter defeat of shadow

from the forest will rise one of us

to conquer the enemy

listen to us hopeful youngling

the time now has come

prepare to leave your home

and to journey far away

gather your strength young warrior

you’ve been charged with this task

fill the surrounding darkness with

he glow of a new day’s dawn

heavy’s the load of

the burden you have to carry

you will fulfil the most

ancient of prophecies

go seek the hidden tower

in the centre of the world

find out the secret…

ancient tome of the wanderer

the book of the world

which hold in sacred letters

the fate of mankind

recover the lost prophecies

that perished with the light

return to your kind the hope

of presages fulfilled

be on your way and don’t hesitate you’re the one to defeat the shadow carry faith in your heart never let it falter at the hideous sight of the enemy
