From the roots of the keep ascend Beyond the binding sigil aglow Treacherous deeds of the past The council of light once overthrown Defile the tower of time Coiling up into uncertain skies Demonic servants of doom Can still hear the wizards’ tortured cries Torches burn red, an altar of stone Enter the chamber, a shrine of the wise Ghastly voice sighs in a language unknown Tomes of dark knowledge hold man’s demise Chorus Spiraling into the sky Chambers of magick enshrined Ascending the tower arcane My sword is sorcery’s bane Alighted in gold, a sanctum of oak Songs from the wood all bound, intoned Beasts of the wild, their howling invoke Cult sacrifice, no longer they roam Chorus Bathed in blue, sword axe and chain Fury and hatred, the woes of mankind An altar of steel for the warriors slain Conquest and warfare, their fates entwined Chorus Enter the lair, demonic red eyes Shrine of the black one, the beast peering low A gate to the stars, behind the sky Eye of the kings begins to glow
