Lyrics
Enter to the tavern, same night as before
Sitting round the table, a band of heroes four
Warrior, Archer, Mage and Thief dividing up their loot
A Halfling band plays merry songs on pipes, whistles and flutes
Approached by a stranger, a dark cloak and deep hood
Tells them of a Tower, beyond the Spiderwood
Made of purest Silver, standing tall and bright
Guarded by a Chaos Mage, illusion and dark light
The party looks around, they share a wicked grin
“That wizard is as good as dead! We’ll claim the hoard within!”
The stranger slowly laughs, “The map for some gold…”
Coins are placed in his hands; their fates have now been sold…
The Warrior! Brave, strong and bold!
The Archer! Master of the bow!
The Mage! Casting arcane spells!
The Thief! Traps and locks as well!
They set off at first light, heads still fogged with ale
As they approach the Spiderwood, the light turns sick and pale
They plunge into the dark, the boughs block out the sun
Fight their way through eight-legged foes, they slay the Spider God!
Emerge on other side, woods now left behind
Above them stand the Frozen Peaks, mountains older than time
They scale the icy stone, attacked by many foes
The mountains soon are raining blood as red melts from the snow
The Warrior! Brave, strong and bold!
The Archer! Master of the bow!
The Mage! Casting arcane spells!
The Thief! Traps and locks as well!
Down into the valley, the Tower stands alone
A shinning spear of Silver with a moat of bones
The stranger reappears, he offers them advice…
“Beware the sorcerer’s minions, both of magik and might!”
As if it heard his words, a creature forms from none
Crystal skulls and shimmering scales, many faces turn to one
The construct is destroyed, its magiks are no more
From the mirrored shards appears the Tower’s hidden door…
They clear the lower Halls, navigate the changing maze
At the labyrinth’s center, the lair of the Chaos mage
The party charges in with swords and spells and bow!
There on the alter, the stranger stands alone…
The Warrior! Brave, strong and bold!
The Archer! Master of the bow!
The Mage! Casting arcane spells!
The Thief! Traps and locks as well!
The Warrior! Cast down into stone!
The Archer! Pierced by her own arrows!
The Mage! Mind has been erased!
The Thief! Forever trapped in this place!
