In a time, not long forgotten
In a place where magic still lives
Trusted Chancellor
Guardian of Talus
Seized power from his noble king

It became a grave situation
Monarch exiled and stricken down
Knights they gathered, few in number
The days of Heroes had long passed

There they stood, ready for vengeance
Bravely awaiting the forces of evil
Hordes they came
Countless in number
They betrayer led
Stronger than before

The sands of time were falling faster
As the reaper waits for his flock
Warriors outnumbered
On the field of war
Forced to flee to the mountain inside
Here we are beaten and surrendered
They shouted to the silent stone
Waiting wearily
The unexpected came

Thunder on the mountainside
Amongst spires of stone
Where shadows hide
The journey has been long
And weariness only grows

Hollow and desolate
Our march of exile carries on

Spirit of the quest lives on
It is the strength
The move beyond
Spirit of the quest lives on
A glimmer of hope
In the darkest times

Adversity has no meaning
When the fire begins to roar
Life courses through our tired soul

Spirit of the quest lives on
It is the strength
The move beyond
Spirit of the quest lives on
A glimmer of hope
In the darkest times

[Instrumental]

An oaken citadel
Unscathed by the touch of man
Intrusion deep within
The womb of an ancient land
Could this be a sacred place
Sheltered from the war?
Treasures for the powerful lie
Beyond the ivy door

Dusk settles
Trees beyond the reach of the sun
Languishing the tale
Of a former age
Time speaks another tongue
The path is always fleeting
Never to be found
The trees are always whispering
Never to be heard

Whispers pierce the stillness
From a dark place beyond the mist
Path growing colder
Trees wither away

Out of the woods comes a cry
A cry of distress
Onward we march
Deep heart of this forest
Where an ancient evil seethes
From the roots of the trees
Inner sanctum, night ellipses day
Calmly sits a bearded man
Deep in meditation
His lips begin to move
An out-pour of forbidden love

Onward I began my journey
Away from home
Exiled from my kingdom
Yes, betrayal in the bloodline
Twas my father's brother
Who seized the throne for his own
Sentenced to the only rightful heir
To walk alone
And so it was written
This unknown quest
But deep inside I knew
Fates guides my step in every way

I walked until I found a shrine
A place forgotten by the hands of time
There I lay my sword
When it spoke to me
Consoling me in my time of need

I commanded legions
Saved men from their demise
In my finest hour
I watched my empire rise

I was the answer
The harbinger of change
But those days have ended
And my destiny lies estranged

I walked until I found a shrine
A place forgotten by the hands of time
There I lay my sword
When it spoke to me
Consoling me in my time of need

'Tis the tale of a fallen king
Withering away at the hands of time
What does fortune bring?
Will you help me again?
And reclaim my kingdom and birthright

King: a voice screaming in my brain
Causing bloodshed, an end to my reign

What happened to my kingdom
What happened to my soul

Sword: I am the voice of the sword
You choose me to kill your enemies

Now you can see the lust of blood and gore
You have no thoughts, you are mine to control
None can resist the bidding of my word
You have succumbed to the voice of the sword

King: you six warriors must help me
Free my mind
Help me quiet that voice deep inside

In a time of war I struck my enemies down
Across the desert I searched
This ancient blade was found
Stained with the blood of thousands
It had an evil heart
I tried to be rid of it
It would never part

Sword: you six warriors cannot help
And death awaits you if you try
This old king is mine to control
Forever til the end of time

King: help me regain my sane mind
I can help you with your good cause
Help me now t silence the voice of the sword

I can overcome my honor remains
You have no hold
Over my soul
They need me
To reach their final goal

Adamantium on which evil shadows dwell
Let it be known the sword comes from hell

For the king we ride tonight
For the king we fight
For the king we will die tonight
We are not afraid

For the king we ride tonight
For the king we fight
For the king we will die tonight
And death is not the end

Now we ride and on we charge
Into this battlefield
We raise our swords
And together we shout
For the king we sacrifice our mortal lives

If you offer a fight
Downfall is your fate
Prepare yourself
As the reaper greets you
For the king we sacrifice our very lives

The ravages of war
It's a price you pay
Upon the field where savages prowl
For the king we sacrifice our very lives

For the king we live by the sword
Die by the sword
Fight for the day

Live by the sword
Die by the sword
Fight for the day

For the king we ride tonight
For the king we fight
For the king we die tonight
And death is not the end

Charging soldiers race on foot
With pounding hearts
Through blazing heat
An ordeal fraught with hopeless odds
They press on towards the keep
Tactics of an ancient king
Seen as ruin from a blinded eye

Battle has come
To this fortress of lies
Balancing the art of war
The flames never die
Battle has come
To this fortress of lies
Balancing the art of war
The fear in their eyes

Arrows soaring overhead
Burning oil drinks the dead
Few in number heroes charge through
The gate and the courtyard
Mayhem reigning on this field
Yells, screams and the clash of steel

Battle has come
To this fortress of lies
Balancing the art of war
The flames never die
Battle has come
To this fortress of lies
Balancing the art of war
The fear in their eyes

Up the ramparts they press ahead
Valor fills their noble hearts
In this hour of reckoning
Beyond thick walls of stone
An inner cloister rests
Where the high priest is waiting
With spite in his chest
No is the time
When two forces collide
Freedom versus dominance
At the fortress of lies

And thus we stood amongst dust and debris
Within the fortress walls from inside the keep
The last rabble came swinging and clashing their swords
Outnumbered we were, a broken king
And a Handful of warriors
The battle was fierce, the stakes were high
And death was close at hand

On this day, this day of wrath
The high priest looked down and laughed
He didn't suspect his guard could fall
As we were but a handful strong

Hold ground warriors
Have no fear for death or pain
Go forth with pride
For we rule this cursed night
Make way for your king
Risen from his dark betrayal
Ruthless in your plight
Show your strength in this fight

Charging through the castle halls
And raze the armory
Determination in their minds
Devoted tot this strife
Hell ablaze within the keep
Awaits the light of day

Victory
The battle is won
His reign is done
Rejoice
Warriors in arms
Redeemed
Bound by the sword

Been spendning their days at Hobarth's Inn
Came for a drink and they stayed for ten
The wind was howling on the winding road
When the smoke fro a chimney smelled like home
Weary warriors shethed their swords
Heavy wood creeks as they stepped theough the door

Welcome to Hobarth's Inn
If you're thirsty, come on in
Welcome to Hobarth's Inn
If you're lonely, come on in

Forget that quest the you think you're on
Hobarth's Inn
When the goings hard
And the waethers cold
A pint of his sle
Will fix your soul
Relax, I said kick back
Hey man, you dont need that act

Welcome to Hobarth's Inn
If you're thirsty, come on in
Welcome to Hobarth's Inn
If you're lonely, come on in
