R.I.P. , he reached city of the dead, ...... best MN song ever Through the jungle by the river Styx I've journed long and far this day Lurking shadows in the parapets Will never make me turn away Darkened city veiled in crimson mist Entombed in time without decay Never thought it would be like this It feels like I'm living inside a dream But my mind tells me I'm Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis

I was a rocker from birth A rocker I'll be till I die Scorching the face of the earth Bringing the music to life Flying on high like a bird Nothing can ever shoot down Metal is dead so I've heard But not while I'm still above ground

One of the most important acts in the formative years of power metal. What might have been had they come from Hamburg instead of Wichita... Rest in peace Shark...

It's been two years already. Heavy metal is so much poorer without you, Mark. Before the Gods of Hell sentence you to die Remember well my friend a warlord never cries These are the words that I have heard inside my mind When Ragnarok comes down we'll all run out of time
