Voices of Fire

Harmony was broken. The Five that should have been one became divided, each reverting into its own nature. Only as the evil of the Fifth was realized, did the Four shape the world one last time. But their power was too great to be unleashed without powers. Harmony was broken. But the echoes of the World Song can still be heard. And through this, the Four found their champions, calling them together. The elements would have scoured the world and made it devoid of life, had not the Bard's Call checked their terrible power. Much was lost that day. But the world was won. The Fifth fell into the depths of the world, body rent asunder, mind broken. But even out of the defeat of the Fifth, a new hope arose. Eight lands, blessed and cursed by its power. Harmony was broken. And yet peace returned. The Fifth defeated, the Four withdrew. What had been wild and mutable became solid. History unfolded, the mortal races made the world their own, as was ordained. The Fifth slipped into legend, the Four became myths. Both treachery and sacrifice nothing more than stories. Stars, dancing through the night's sky. But I remember. For I can hear the songs on the wind, in the waves, in the crackling of flames, rising from the very bones of the earth. What has been forgotten may become known again. What lies hidden may be revealed. What sleeps may wake. And with it all its terrors. Harmony was broken. And still the songs endure. I shall sing of the Five, of the return of the Fifth, of evil old and unimaginable. I shall sing to mortal hearts and heavens alike. I shall sing - with a Voice of Fire!

From Creation over Damnation To another page of the tale Our battle cries presaging the story Of clashings on armour plates Of myths and twists Of fields in mist Of creatures flying high Of lands (to find) Of seas (so wide) A mystery by night And part of a firefly Facing fortune once again Voices feeding flames From Perdition over Salvation To another side of fate Our gathered swords are breaking the silence Clashing on armour plates Four good,one bad Not back for good How to find a way through darkest nights A voice (still faint) Speaks names (to the sky) And getting flames to rise We're all a part of this firefly Read the hero's dream Lights of dawn will gleam Once our voices unify For flames they'll scream From Perdition over Salvation To another side of fate Our gathered swords are breaking the silence Clashing on armour plates From Creation over Damnation To another page of the tale Our battle cries presaging the story Of clashings on armour plates Clashing on armour plates Hoping it's not too late After all we know That way leads onto way Clashing on armour plates Hoping it's not too late After all we know That way leads onto way Clashing on armour plates Hoping it's not too late After all we know That way leads onto way Clashing on armour plates Hoping it's not too late After all we know That way leads onto way Perdition Salvation Creation Damnation Perdition Salvation Creation Damnation From Creation over Salvation To another page of the tale Our battle cries presaging the story Of clashings on armour plates From Perdition over Salvation To another side of fate Our gathered swords are breaking the silence Clashing on armour plates From Creation over Damnation To another page of the tale Our battle cries presaging the story Of clashings on armour plates John Rhys-Davies: Something is stirring in the deep; old hatred, newly kindled. The Fifth, emerging from troubled dreams, remembering a world all thought was gone. Will it return? Will vengeance be born on shadowed wings? The oceans boil with rage unfettered. Who can stand in its way?

Fide, Odor, Cognitio, Scientia, Dogma Fide, Odor, Cognitio, Scientia, Dogma Fide, Odor, Cognitio, Scientia, Dogma Fide, Odor, Cognitio Again, I find myself at night, Falling awake from a dream Memories, one-of-a-kind, Still I wonder who once sowed them Into my mind And into my life Forebodings moving by Somehow I know you, Faithfulness I owe you Worlds wand’ring silently, While the dragon sleeps. Into the twilight, Dreaming, gaining insight Worlds waiting endlessly, While the dragon sleeps Fide, Odor, Cognitio, Scientia, Dogma Fide, Odor, Cognitio Helplessness about what they tell, I refuse to believe Chaos entering my realm, Still I wonder who wants to Deceive my delight, Bereaving my might Should I mistrust myself? Somehow I know you, Faithfulness I owe you Worlds wand’ring silently, While the dragon sleeps Into the twilight, Dreaming, gaining insight Worlds waiting endlessly, While the dragon sleeps Wheels of time are turning round What they’ve done comes back to us and What goes up surely must go down We are not the ones to turn the tide We are destined to survive this night Wake up! Wake up, dragon! Dragonwake! Wake up, dragon! Dragonwake! Wake up, dragon! Dragonwake! The dragon awakes. He wakes up. [16x] Somehow I know you, Faithfulness I owe you Worlds wand’ring silently, While the dragon sleeps Into the twilight, Dreaming, gaining insight, Worlds waiting endlessly, While the dragon sleeps Somehow I know you, Faithfulness I owe you Worlds wand’ring silently, While the dragon sleeps Into the twilight, Dreaming, gaining insight Worlds waiting endlessly, While the dragon sleeps John Rhys-Davies: For all our faults, are we not simply human? Once, they were heroes. Once, the world belonged to them. No more, all gone. A dream, nothing more. Vagabonds and drifters, blown by the wind of Southern shores. Yet destiny awaits, even in forlorn lands.

Face it your highs turning to dust now Don't you think it's time to find another path in life? Because you, my friend, just waste your time here Day by day, and night by night When will you accept what might have been will not arise? So what! (Don't mind) another round! For all our friends and all the others We shine so bright in our old stories (Time and time again) So what! (Don't mind) another round! Heroic deeds. My house of glory Look! This harlot is sweetening my night (Time and time again) Where is your faith? It's going under! Pick up yourself and put your goddamned face back into light Back to old strength, a fight for courage What's past is past, our future is a chance When we accept what might have been will not arise. What the hell do they know? Judge a bard's life? No, no, no! Another pint, another song Time and time again this night will not last long So what! (Don't mind) another round! For all our friends and all the others We shine so bright in our old stories (Time and time again) So what! (Don't mind) another round! Heroic deeds. My house of glory Look! This harlot is sweetening my night (Time and time again) Fighting inner demons Contending against someone I know Fighting inner demons Where was the call? I had nowhere to go Fighting inner demons I just felt my eagerness grow Fighting inner demons Time and time and time again Fighting inner demons So many killed, their dead faces they show Fighting inner demons The smell of perdition. Cadaver winds blow Fighting inner demons This story is over, so leave me alone Fighting inner demons Time and time again. Time and time again. Time and time again. What the hell do they know? Judge a bard's life? No, no, no! Another pint, another song Time and time again this night will not last long So what! Another round! Tonight we get knocked out So what! (Don't mind) another round! For all our friends and all the others We shine so bright in our old stories (Time and time again) So what! (Don't mind) another round! Heroic deeds. My house of glory Look! This harlot is sweetening my night (Time and time again) John Rhys-Davies: Standing tall and proud, carrying the wind of expectation on her shoulders. Duty calls, duty will be heeded. But is that all which is needed? A life, given to her people. Dedication to her last breath. Or will she come to pass, if the trials are too great?

Take up the fight for the crown and our own folk! All my life Put in jeopardy, in a heartbeat - I'm losing All my life High fidelity, to my kingdom beyond! Forever!

Harmony has been restored. The bards heeded the call. In time, their own stories will become legends, their lives turned into songs. Their sacrifice and loss are to remind us that we must remain ever vigilant. Deep below the waves, the Fifth dreams its dark dreams. The World Song is its bane, cradling it into ever fitful slumber. Long may it rest. And when it wakes again, the call will go out. Will you answer?
