The Final Door

Lyrics by Lily Taylor
Feel him beckoning you close now
You’ll be knocking on Death’s door
Shadowed figure
In your visage
Drowning darkness
In your own image
Closing swift now
This familiar
Inner villain strikes
CHORUS
A mere mirror
Of your valour
But with strength
That will quake and cower
One last challenge
Stands between you
And victory or a bitter demise
This, your chance to
Win the power
Strike him down
In this final hour
Quell the chaos
Seeping out from
The evil in his red glowing eyes
The darkest places are the ones left in your mind
Draw your sword, slay your demons
before they take control
Feed your fury
Strength and steel, you face the darkness
Feel the terror tearing you in two
Life seeps from you
Battle to the death with madness
Do not fail or you will fall
CHORUS
A mere mirror
Of your valour
But with strength
That will quake and cower
One last challenge
Stands between you
And victory or a bitter demise
This, your chance to
Win the power
Strike him down
In this final hour
Quell the chaos
Seeping out from
The evil in his red glowing eyes
The darkest places are the ones left in your mind
With every victory a piece is left behind
Your shadow reaches from beyond to show you more
A trap awaits you as they close the final door

Hero of Time
05:11
|

Lyrics by Lily Taylor
Wipe the sweat from your brow, you’re in battle
Deafened by steel meeting steel
Defender of faith and of mettle
Just sword, bow and shield
Hear the cries of the dying around you
The fallen on fields painted red
But Hero, your work isn’t over
On this path of the dead
CHORUS
Winds rushing past you
For eternity ride
No man can best you
You’re the Hero of Time
The helpless to save are the haunted
Watch them failing again and again
You race against time and the turmoil
Then forget where you've been
There shall be no rest for the victor
For your journey is one without end
While you cycle through lives fighting evil
Ever rises the dread
CHORUS
Winds rushing past you
For eternity ride
No man can best you
You’re the Hero of Time
Save us from evil, defender of faith
Hero of old, the chosen champion
With the fate of the world on your shoulders
Your nemesis strikes out once more
A villain through time never-ending
Sent to settle the score
Breaking free from all bonds he’s arisen
A calamity conquered before
Stands before you now sword at the ready
Dares to fight you once more
CHORUS x2
Winds rushing past you
For eternity ride
No man can best you
You’re the Hero of Time
Winds rushing past you
For eternity ride
No man can best you
You’re the hero of...hero of...
hero of all mankind

Children of Old

Lyrics by Lily Taylor
High up in the clouds there sits an island in the sky
In memory and myth it lies
Living unaware forgetting history and strife
They fly into the light
PRE-CHORUS
When darkness falls they shall return
The shadow of evil once more yearns
A cursed demon longing free
Sends vicious creatures to help him see
CHORUS
Children of old
The goddess chose
Sent to the sky
From what once was their home
The world below
Sees darkness grow
A wild when unchecked
Births the evil unknown
High up in the clouds there sits a city unaware
No torture, trial or care
Blissfully at peace they are the gift the Goddess gave
The city she did save
PRE-CHORUS
When darkness falls they shall return
The shadow of evil once more yearns
A cursed demon longing free
Sends vicious creatures to help him see
CHORUS
Children of old
The goddess chose
Sent to the sky
From what once was their home
The world below
Sees darkness grow
A wild when unchecked
Births the evil unknown
Children of the sky
Children of old
The goddess chose
Sent to the sky
From what once was their home
The world below
Sees darkness grow
A wild when unchecked
Births the evil unknown
Fly into the light

Enchantress

Lyrics by Lily Taylor
Enraptured by her beauty,
wander deep into her lair
Succumbed within her wandering eyes,
bewitched by flowing hair
Encircled by her creatures
floating life into that room
Listen to her pleas and save
her vanity from doom
CHORUS
In the desert we will search
We’ll scour sands o’er all the earth
For the treasures we will find
She haunts our memories over lifetimes
A sister lost, enchanted trading
spells she casts for gold
Empowered by his wealth, released
her majesty of old
Wallowed in her ecstasy
and beauty now to rest
Whispering her magic as
she holds you to her breast
CHORUS
In the oceans we will search
We’ll scour seas o’er all the earth
For the treasures we will find
She haunts our memories over lifetimes
BRIDGE
They dance above the water, hover in the air
Feel them swirl around you
BRIDGE TO SOLO
I stand before you now to taste the magic in your soul
CHORUS X2
In the forest we will search
We’ll scour the trees o’er all the earth
For the treasures we will find
She haunts our memories over lifetimes
In the heavens we will search
We’ll scour the skies o’er all the earth
For the treasures we will find
She haunts our memories over lifetimes

A Bloody History
06:31
|

Lyrics by Lily Taylor
Into the dungeon
Deep in the dark
We worship our anger
We know it by heart
Fueled by our passion
Our anguish, our need
We wallow in sorrow
Fulfilled by our creed
The shadows our keeper
We saviors of old
Kept silent our vigil
No heroes seek gold
Murdered by madness
And buried enshrined
Our story forgotten
Once histories entwined
Hear our sorrow
Bleed and borrow
Break the silence
Run through the catacombs
Destruction in their wake
Through ancient halls and ancient walls
The cities they would take
The dead steal your nightmares
Stained by the sins of old
Wait for the call, wait for the fall
our history shows
Listen to their cries
Here we sit in silence
No breaths to take
Stolen by their heresy,
we’ll rot in their wake
Sworn by blood to guard her
The goddess’ song
The tide did turn, and we did burn,
eternally wronged
A fragment of a memory
Hidden dark and deep
Buried by a shameful pride,
encased in their keep
Tell it how you will
But now unveil the crypts
These piles of bones they hid in stone,
their innocence stripped
A bloody history of royals past
A tragedy from not so distant last
A truth disguised through crying eyes revealed
A horrid past behind these walls concealed
For fear of rebellion
For future remorse
They murdered our brothers
They saw no recourse
The city asunder
Our people now torn
Those blinded by reverence
Those buried by scorn
One champion now present
The rest in the dark
One sworn to the bloodline
Alone with their mark
Entombed in their Haven
Betrayed by their trust
Forgotten in darkness
Imprisoned to dusk
Hear our sorrow
Here they lie
Sent to die
Hear their cry

Forgotten in Stone
08:00

Lyrics by Lily Taylor
Sleep now and survive until your time
Alone, forgotten in stone
Resting low and buried in the ground,
the sleeping wait
Tools of ancients waiting to arise
and turn the tide
Mystery enshrouds the story
passed down to the young
Of spirits, magic, chosen and
an evil soon to come
Who’s to blame for what’s to come?
Who is the puppet master?
Do you wonder who the ancients prophesied
To vanquish lingering demise?
Whereupon a princess struggles to survive
Awaits her slumbering hero
Do you wonder why the buried come alive?
And who ordained destruction?
Ancient evil to possess and terrify
Let...them...lie...
All...will...die...
Sleep now and survive until your time
Alone, forgotten in stone
They lie in wait in mindless state
The guardians of ancient evil wait
The victims of his mystic art
It worms its way into their hearts
Here and now we make our stand
against the terrors of old
It is ordained it is foretold
but is it our failure we'll behold?
Do you wonder who the ancients prophesied
To vanquish lingering demise?
Whereupon a princess struggles to survive
Awaits her slumbering hero
Do you wonder why the buried come alive?
Sleep now and survive until your time
Alone, forgotten in stone
The ancients to roam
Sleep now and dream
Into your memories

The Forsaken Tribe
05:01

Lyrics by Mary Patton
In the shadows for so long;
forgotten by those honor bound.
Days and nights passed without end.
Then it was he came.
Proud and able, a face of stone,
thieves built castles out of hope.
Though he claimed what he wished in spoils
drive'n by no fears of mortal coil
and though chaos reigned after dark,
they worshipped him.
Trekked together o'er desert sands,
a deadly harem to wrack the lands.
Sight a thief in dusty square;
Blink an eye and she isn't there;
She escaped on the wind,
As though she had never been.
