Rivals trapped in a maze Strive together to survive A ghastly sight struck their eyes Dreadful nightmares come alive Rogues in the house A prince, a warrior, a priest Rogues in the house All against the beast Mangled corpses lying heaped Clouds of death brought this plight Wearing his master’s scarlet robe A looming shadow in the night Chorus The Cimmerian rampaged forward Before the beast tore him apart He plunged his dagger to the hill Into the ape-man’s blackened heart A man was slain not a beast Women shall sing his song A treacherous night took its toll Amid the brave and the strong Chorus

Raise high the torch And stare wide-eyed Cryptic writings carved in stone An ancient king Lies mummified Perched upon his basalt throne Upon the throne lying in wait Gazing through the sands of time Upon the throne lying in wait Beyond the sands of time Across his knees A sword lay bare Remnant of a glorious past Withdraw the sword And face its glare The ancient king is free at last Upon the throne lying in wait Gazing through the sands of time Upon the throne lying in wait Beyond the sands of time

As Arenjum dreams With the moon growing dim Climb the silver tower Reach its jewel crusted rim He seeks to find the fabled gem Known as the heart of the elephant In the tower of the elephant In the tower of the elephant In a darkened chamber Where the torture never ends A being captive in chains From another world descends As tears roll from sightless eyes He begs to unleash one final spell In the tower of the elephant In the tower of the elephant Drive the sword into his chest The gem turns crimson red Then the being laid back quite still As if life had fled Through sorcery of the blood and the jewel The winged avenger shall be free Speak the sorcerer’s name The last spell has been thrown Behold the wizard shrink And sink into the scarlet stone The young barbarian flees before dawn The tower crashes into shining shards In the tower of the elephant In the tower of the elephant

In the silent temple hall A strangled corpse is found An eerie bowl lies unsealed Foreseeing doom unbound From stygia A wizard's gift From stygia Death shall be swift A shadow lurking in the dark Slithering through the night Gaze into his marbled face Swaying in delight From stygia A wizard's gift From stygia Death shall be swift All aluring voice of gold With malice in its chime A godlike man-headed snake From the dawn of time From stygia A wizard's gift From stygia Death shall be swift From stygia x6

Decades of deception A fiery uproar Unrestrained obsession Neverending war An ancient feud descends into madness Rushing towards a blood drenched reign Into the black pillar Nails are driven for the slain Red Nails Red Nails Inhuman exultation For the fallen foe A grisly apparition From the crypts below An ancient feud descends into madness Rushing towards a blood drenched reign Into the black pillar Nails are driven for the slain Red Nails Red Nails Yearning for eternal life Lustful eyes glow On the altar of sacrifice Blood must flow Secret Stygian rites To restore her youth Mastermind behind the schism The witch unveils the truth Bridge Red Nails Red Nails

He stands alone Wearied and dazed Amongst the dead After the battle A silvery laugh Resounds in his head Swaying before him A dazzling beauty Calls out his name Clad in gossamer An ivory body With golden mane Gods of the North Gods of the North She taunts the Cimmerian Gazing spellbound Be will not falter Rage shook his soul To chase through the snow The Frost-Giant’s daughter She lures him across The far northern hills Where two giants wait Swinging their axes To wrench his heart With wrathful hate Gods of the North Gods of the North She stares at her brothers Now lying dead On the crimson snow The fire in his blood Shall warm her cold flesh His eyes all aglow She cries to her Father And vanish enveloped In blue icy flames A wisp of gossamer In his clenched fist Is all that remains Gods of the North Gods of the North

Ancient city past its prime Long forgotten by the Gods Through the ruins lost in time Facing daunting odds Keepers of the crypt Coming to life Keepers of the crypt Coming to life Into the tomb where treasure lies Never envisioned before Jade serpent with emerald eyes Clutching an idol of yore Keepers of the crypt Coming to life Keepers of the crypt Coming to life Oh beware All those who dare The unburied dead Lying in wait They shall awake In the hall of the dead Stride into the bright sunlight Skeletons crumble into dust A violent earthquake, a frenzied flight Buried dreams of lust Keepers of the crypt Coming to life Keepers of the crypt Coming to life

Sail across the inland sea An isle cloaked in mystery Amid tangled jungle vines Forsaken ruins of ancient times By the light of the moon Shadows come to life Isle of the Damned Through the darkened dusty halls Brooding shapes along the walls Iron statue glaring their hate Ebon warriors lying in wait By the light of the moon Shadows come to life Isle of the Damned Deafening yells of agony Scenes of horror and insanity Shredding talons spreading gore Until silence reigns once more By the light of the moon Shadows come to life Isle of the Damned
