"I speak to you now, sons and daughters of dragonland, after what may seem to some like a lifetime of silence these words are not my own for I utter the mind of the 'sidian' now that his voice can no longer carry the faith of this withering race. I bring hope for all creatures, our once glorious lands; for I speak about the one man that still has the power to save our world, and what we must do to find him." Dark rumors speak of an evil A shadow that devours your soul Rising from the fear that was one with all Racing the horse up the mountain to grant them the heart, he was born If he were the one He was destiny's son Now the prophecy's undone Devious They say his return is glorious Hear his name Feel the changes he will make He will rule supreme That I know, I've seen it in my dreams Our world, and what will be The true hope lies beyond the sea To light our path and keep us from harm "Once a mortal man, sane, ascended to godhood only to cast it away and become one with the very fabric of the cosmos A century of solitude drove him mad." Awaken from a century's slumber to spread fear across the Ivory Plains A malicious return Now the feats we must earn Or dragonland will burn Treacherous They say his return is glorious Fear his name Dragonland won't be the same He will rule supreme that I know, I've seen it in my dreams Our world, and what will be The true hope lies beyond the sea To light our path and keep us from harm [Solo] Devious They say his return is glorious Hear is name Feel the changes he will make He will rule supreme that I know, I've seen it in my dreams Our world, and what will be The true hope lies beyond the sea To light our path and keep us from harm

With the dawning clarity a calm and vast serenity i see into this pale infinity I'm drifting Spirit of the sea streams reached down to me visions in the dream spared me With the fury of a storm A racing, darkened majesty sent me into a sunken destiny azure divinity Spirit of the sea streams reached down to me visions in the dream spared me Solo: Mörck Solo: Lindskog Spirit of the sea Harken unto me the tempest made me what must be

I raise up my head and gaze upon silvery seashores with the sand on my feet and with the sun on my back For days the coast leads my journey shining in the misty dew I see There, a thousand spires Glowing like fire in the sun I see them rising o'er these open plains And I know I shall remember forever how I saw a thousand towers white When young I was told Of a city of might and of honour An empire's crown, as powerful as it was feared And now as I stand before her I set my eyes upon a waking dream There, a thousand spires Gleaming like ice in the sun I see them rising o'er these open plains And I know I shall remember forever how I saw a thousand towers white Mirror like gates stretch before me blazing serene in the dawn Split open for vast lines of many men I gaze beyond in bewilderment Shattered hearts and dreams crushed by grievous tyranny Crumbling homes and screams among corrupted industry [Solo: Mörck] A sinister reign brother is turned against brother irrational fear enslaved the dwarves and the elves What lies beyond such opression? shining towers cast a shade on me There, a thousand spires Glowing like fire in the sun but I see no honour in these broken men yet I know I will remember forever how I saw a thousand towers white

A pale sun rises the crowds are gathered now red streams flow through the streets Upon the pyre Enchanted beauty her eyes upon me "Witch! Wraith! Light up the fire And feed her to the flames Let nothing remain" Now as I see her standing before me A stranger I know Where have I heard that voice before? I'm stirred to silence 'neath brazen towers Doubt fills my heart with fear See clouds are massing on the horizon Her end is soon here I should turn away and leave her to her fate but something draws me to the flames "Stop! Halt! Who is this man that walks unharmed by fire That crosses the pyre?" Now as I see her standing before me A stranger I know Where have I seen her face before? [Solo: Lindskog] [Solo: Holmlid] [Solo: Mörck] Now as I freed her they all stand before me Stop! Halt! Don't let them pass They must not get away Guards! Stop them I say Now as I see her carried before me I finally know where I have heard that voice before! So far beyond the shore

Crack of thunder, sound of rain across the endless fields as we speed towards the night upon a steed that never yields Black as the night, swift as the wind and eyes of emerald green In restless flight our journey takes us further east The seventh day we reach the west trail through the Nethermoor guides us through the mist Across the river past the grey stones of Ne'anthor, stars shine our way Journey into far away and to forgotten lands and here by my side she will ride there with me To the home of her kind I see creatures from old stories I thought make believe Crawling in the shades with thousand eyes they gaze upon me She lifts her head up like she senses unseen enemies In the black of night a shadow watches over me On the second moon we set out east for Val'inthor Where her kindred dwell We pass the mighty ruined citadels of ancient lore The moon lights our way Journey into far away and to forgotten lands and here by my side she will ride there with me To the home of her kind [Solo: Mörck] [Solo: Holmlid] Ghostly specters, faded wanderers that gone before reveals the passage through the river to the northern shore Something dwells within the dark I sense we're not alone though I know it cannot pass beyond the warding stones before the break of fall we stand before the sacred realm where her kindred dwell we make camp in crumbling temples by the raging ford light shine our way Journey into far away and to forgotten lands and here by my side she will ride there with me She's the queen of her kind

Midwood in autumn moon Dawning upon silver dew shimmering like fireflies and golden leaves from up high striding up to me The lady of goldenwood in shrouds of pearls and palest white though she bears the mark of the wilds She is the queen of her kind ["Among the highest branches, above the temple alcoves my youngest daughter, the elven princess Sariel, often sat and sang hymns and ballads of olden lore and was little concerned with the heavy burden bestowed upon her family. Her favourite song was that of the magical ivory flutes of Niaranden, the Naiden children - the elfkind"] Sung by flutes of ivory notes soar round the elder tree stairs ascending to far up high where golden leaves kiss the sky The lady of goldenwood in shrouds of pearls and palest white though she bears the mark of the wilds She is the queen of her kind

A quest subterrene I pass through the unseen Deep where the rivers fall Where mountain dwellers lure Further I crawl To find the dwergar halls doubts in these vaults forlorn Can I be Dragonborn? I was saved from water, I walked through the flames Just to be delivered to fate's dark embrace Onwards and down I go and into deepest gorge A fragile hope I will find down at Dûrnirs Forge When wholly astray A dwarfling on my way Waylaid by netherkind In battle a friend I find Onwards and down I go and into deepest gorge A fragile hope I will find down at Dûrnirs Forge [Solo: Holmlid] [Solo: Mörck] Onwards again we go, this time not on my own Indifference and scorn for man we found at Dûrnir's Throne And so highland bound, to seek the Century Horn A fragile hope now will rest upon the mountain lords

Deepest into the east Where vast ridges meet the Ivory shores Winds of the Zephyr chill the blood in frostbitten hearts Treacherous! Furious! Surely the mountain will bring us to fall Lord of the winds Let our passage be swift Ruler of mist in this age-old ruin King of the East Let the trials begin Grant me the secret for I seek the Century Horn of Mount Farnor As a blizzard draws near upon the highest mountain we stand thundering footsteps strike a fear into our hearts Vicious thrall! Answer our call! Hear us, come forth and unveil who you are! Lord of the storm To this quest I am sworn Ruler of mist on this age-old mountain King of your kin Let your trials begin! Speak me your riddles for I seek the Century Horn of Mount Farnor First; the answer is clear But dawn breaks before the second word's voiced One final riddle strikes despair into our hearts Queen of leaves! Returned to me! Surely, your words bring the giant to fall! Lord of the bones So assured of your throne Ruler of men among thousand towers King of your kin Now your war will begin! Thousands are gathering as I sound the Century Horn of Mount Farnor Devious! Glorious! Brother, I will find you wherever you are!

Facing the northwinds On high ground we stand In the air a thousand banners Flying the honour Of peoples joined in bitter strife Darkened green for the wood-elves Crimson red for dwarven lords Deep azure blue for men with the hearts to defy Brass horns are sounding we drink our last ale filled with cold determination praising the ancients as dark lines spill out on the plains See the view stretched before me It's familiar somehow Why am I here? Why was I sent to this trial? You think you can stand before me? You are mistaken! No! I'm filled with the wrath of a god, ignited by a righteous flame! See how you're burning with zeal, and yet so unknowing! Die! I make you pay for your crimes, red, the grey banner dyed! With steel I will redeem For I know what I've seen in my dreams One brother has to find his demise Fool! Can't you see that you were sent to perish before me? See the blackness for my eyes How can this be, Were the scriptures all lies? Oh bewildered horizon... What? What is this? Who is this girl, who dares to strike me? Take my life for another's Now fall! As he has recovered... So we are free Wake from a dream Glorious deed But she's lost unto me See, all will rise From lands to the sea But forever she'll live on in my memory
