lyrics

Behind a dense ghostly mist
Far beyond any known forest
Surrounded by mournful winds
An atmosphere thou abhorrest
Amongst swamps of dark water
And scarlet moors enshrined by death
Thou shalt find the black gate
Whose lost paths shalt take thy breath

Where once great towers stood along golden walls
Where ancient sigils ornamented vast emerald halls
Where the wisdom of mankind was enlighted with fire
Now are just vestiges of a fallen empire

Spectres wander through the ruins
As messengers from a long dead age
Whispering sorrowful chants
Hymns of suffering and rage
Travellers must beware
To not fall into the spells
Of those rotten souls
And to be dragged into their wells

Where once great towers stood along golden walls
Where ancient sigils ornamented vast emerald halls
Where the wisdom of mankind was enlighted with fire
Now are just vestiges of a fallen empire

Citadel of knowledge
Temple of thousand glories
Thy shades hide secrets
Verses of mystic stories

After one hundred moons of siege
By hordes of fire and black blood
Shields and spears were crushed
No mercy was bestowed by the Gods
Signs from this battle echo in eternity
As feeble screams from the graves
An eerie shadow cursed the land
Turning their heirs into slaves

Where once great towers stood along golden walls
Where ancient sigils ornamented vast emerald halls
Where the wisdom of mankind was enlighted with fire
Now are just vestiges of a fallen empire.
