DETHLEHEM LYRICS

1. Knightmare

Losing our brothers in the swirl
Of purple hues to ancient worlds
The wretched shade will walk again
Foretold by Dregmour's end

The darkness breeds wide
Will fester inside
Take heed

Doomed
By this twist of fate
Through the ethereal gate

Rise
Stand against our hand
Dealt to us in this foreign land

The warriors gaze upon the vastness ahead
Battle's song echoes in the distance of oblivion
A ghastly army wages war
Their chains will shackle them no more
From the grave, they've returned
For what purpose do they serve

Witness the blackened atrocity
Malevolent hatred stains this land

Dragons flame and embers bite
Reality has changed now
Quest for truth in our own right
The soul still burns
Trail of a fallen star
Mourning in wayward silence
Whispered tomes of darkened arts
Awaken from...

The shine of opposition sparks within the horde
A blazing sword through the infinite black

Lost in the fray
Stamina wavering
Onward
To the onslaught we go

Crash down with enchanted ferocity
Benevolence gives us the upper hand

Dragons flame and embers bite
Reality has changed now
Quest for truth in our own right
The soul still burns
Trail of a fallen star
Mourning in wayward silence
Whispered tomes of darkened arts
Awaken from this nightmare

Rest your eyes
This will all be over soon

I'm dreaming we'll wake up
Still dreaming I'll wake up
I'm dreaming
Must wake up
(This can't be real)

The afflicted drove dissipates on their own
Victory in death

The sacrifice has been made
Bodies lay offering

Cast your spell with blood

Captive in this cell
A prison of the dead
And I can't hold on

Grant me freedom
Take up our sword
Heroic weapon
Left by our Lord Bonecrush

[Knightmare speaking]
"Defeat is imminent. I shall become the vessel of destruction.
The king of kings...
Devourer of dreams!"

This power comes with a price
Bloodline genocide
Pay or forgeit life
Dark one rise

The rune speaks to me now as it fades from sight
It burns vengeance into my mind

Saying
"Bring forth their demise!"

2. Oathbound

Sons of a fabled line
Protectors of our time
In these veins
Flows the blood of the oath bound

For rule they will divide
In battle dreams collide
Take your place on the throne of the oath bound

Betrayer
Only the chosen may go
Blood begets blood

To the Order went the youngest determined to prove his worth
Arrives upon a blackened sky
Destroying flesh condemning lives

Those laid to rest begin to return

The promise of power makes a fool of this lad
Deceived by his lust bringing darkness to the land

Betrayer
The kingdom you'd overthrow
Broken your oath

In the shrine of a fallen god
Evil is born

Forsaken conqueror
Denounce all

You have forgotten the face of your father

3. Interlude I - Seeking The Soothsayer

[Instrumental]

4. Shadow Remnants Of The Guardian Shield

We move towards
The answer to our journey
The key to the tower lies within the garden maze
A relic to protect our group will guard us

The dwarven guides speak...

"In the heart of madness you will find!"
The artifact you seek
"Guardian shield!"
Awaits thee

Two converge as one
The path becomes undone
Shapes transform inside
The ancient shield it tries to hide

The walls whisper,
"Your death awaits...
Turn back from whence you came."
A way opens to reveal the past
A path of bones tells a truth that
None shall pass

"The protectors watching
For all time!"
To judge the ones who seek
"Guardian shield!"
Awaits thee

Two converge as one
The path becomes undone
Shapes transform inside
The treasured shield is in our sight

[Soothsayer]
"Inscription is written:
Lawful and pure may carry
The weight of divinity
And the voices of thine heart
Will speak without a word. Now..."

Awaken your doom

The statues crack and move
Overwhelming force
Unrelenting course
Test your might or perish
Buried in this labyrinth
Eternal champions
Immortalized in stone... the

Garden guardians
Guarding gardens

The golem's eyes shien with a wizard's spell
Destroying all in their way the optic flame immolates

Ablaze in a battlefield
Of burning leaves
Control the force of their fire the
Rays can melt armor

Reflect
Magic
Rebound
Advance

Bring them down by their own hand
Fight fire with fire
Crumbled rock reveals weakness
Chink in the armor
Grind them down
These monuments will collapse

Reflect
Magic
Rebound
Advance

Two disposed and slain
The legend we have gained
Fate is on our side
Guardian shield is ours tonight

It's fuckin' ours tonight

5. Earthforger

Born of clay
Deep in this swampy grave
Sacred ground defiled by treachery
Bear the curse
Red soaked land
Turns dust to marshes
Battles long lost
Leave their markings

Warpath of fortune never to obtain
Bound to the place
Where your bones still lay

Those who dare to cross this land
Never shall return again
Wandering this place an eternity for
Greed's ambition

Mine the vein
Treasured ore
Lay no claim

Conceived through steam and rust
Soulless globs
House blighted remains
Churning out my loyal minions
Tainted land cries out for vengeance

(Orichalcum)
Prepare the fire
(Orichalcum)
Resistance is weakened
(Orichalcum)
Cracking the dried shell
(Orichalcum)
Delivered from limbo's noose

Bring me their heads
Fuel the machine
Grinding meat
Slave to demand

Those who dare to cross this land
Never shall return again
Wandering this place an eternity for
Greed's ambition

Mine the vein
Treasured ore
Lay no claim

6. Interlude II - Curse Of Goblintown

[Instrumental]

7. Final Voyage Of The Gobblinaught

"Set sail"
On the sea towards the beast that plagues the deep
"Captain"
Of the ship seeks revenge for the leg he keeps
"Brewing"
Is a storm from the mist that signals death

Beware

"Drink up"
For the burn in your gut may be the last
"Starboard"
Off the edge of the bow where great waves crash
"Serpent"
Casts a shade underneath that stretches wide

Beware
Leviathan draws near

[Dread Goblin Roberts]
"There ain't no room for fear on my ship!
First the battle and then the prize!"

Attack
Cannon fire tears through the sky
"Mortar and flame"
"Mortar and flame"
Iron basilisks let out their cry
"Mortar and flame"
"Mortar and flame"

Final voyage of the Gobblinaught

Spawned from the depths the seed of a devil rises

Behold the sea queen's gaze of one thousand eyes
Caught in its spell of the mind
Whirlpool of illusion the monster multiplies
This could be the end
Capsized

Riding these swirling blues
The waters thrash and shall consume
Lightning crashes in the distant black
Through the vortex we go
No turning back

Shrieking demon
Don't think you've won
Drive your steel deep
Take her with thee

Invader from within
Swallowed whole
(Ready arms)
Scales won't protect you now

This sea is your final resting place

8. Mystic Island

Ship wrecked
In need of extended rest
Perception check

Cinders flood
Through the haze
Vision clouds
Perception fades

Upon the shore of ashes
A miasma shrouds all

(Lay on hands)

Open your mind's eye
Receive the aura of the guardian
Fortify resolve
Gain the blessing of the paladin

Hidden defender
Divine protector
Dispel this cursed fog
Spectral might
Phantasmal knight
Place your judgment in our steel

Unveiled the foreboding obelisk
A tombstone for this realm
Piercing the sky
Never-ending

Within the spire
A hive of terrors await
Abominations grasp at life
Thirsty for a taste
The scent of death grows stronger
Higher the steps we take
Ask not for whom the bell tolls
For it tells of our own fate

Sacrifice
Nobility's shine engulfs this place
Cleansing light
To keep darkness away
Afterlife
Ascending through your trinity
Black and white
Become gray

9. Interlude III - Approaching The Boss Battle

[Instrumental]

10. Dark Tower

Ascending what seems
An eternal stairwell
Where the sky meets the mountains
And the darkness does dwell
I put forth my torch
For the fire to catch
And before our eyes
An ancient latch
Open the tomb
Low tone heard by all
I reach for my strap
And comes forth the horde
This is the moment
I'll reclaim my...

I'll reclaim my sword

This feud ends tonight
Atop a landmark of sin
Clash
A declaration
Of blood and blade
This tower shall serve
As the place of your grave
Your legend shall be born
When your myth has been slain

Bestowed our path tonight
There are other worlds across this time
But I will see you on the other side
At the clearing

Break your limits in this final fight
Seeker of destruction
Guardian of night
Foretold destruction
Harbinger of war
The walls of this tower
Shall be painted in your gore

Bestowed our path tonight
There are other worlds across this time
But I will see you on the other side
At the clearing

Death is not for you
Something far worse

Destiny you cannot escape
Sever these threads of fate

Destiny you will try and change
Sever these threads of fate

Scorned
From these fires within
Journeys end
Quests begin
But this battle is not over

Pierced
Doom has forced its way in
Bathed in red
Eyes grow dim
Gaze into the abyss
And it shall gaze back

11. Planetary Collapse

Tearing flesh from the wound
A void that should invite death
As the blood pours black
Let the darkness consume

Disgraced your coat of arms

This deity sleeps no more
Deep in your marrow
Total loss of control
Eyes turn to crimson
Expressionless destruction

Engulfed insanity
The whims of a demon lords
Guide your hand
Horns of flame take form
Raise your sword

Become calamity the end of all things
Agent of doomsday claim your wings
Apocalyptic thrall
Host to oblivion
Set in motion cataclysm

This hilt of mine burns red
Its loud roar tells me to grasp victory
Eruption shining from within
Strike down

With these tidings
The almighty one bestows
Empowered with a cursed force
A baneful blade that glows
The planet begins to crack
Sliced in half
A smile upon the severed corpse
It echoes with a laugh

Prophecy fulfilled at last

Force fed the fire from an eon of hatred

Avert your eyes before the absolute
Cast down from above
The oldest ones dream
Reap not which ye create
A new age is born

The lineage is too strong
Defy the power of a god

Sigil of royalty
Condemns your being
Born of cruelty
Bow to your king

Obtain calamity the end of all things
Agent of doomsday I claim your wings

Galactic price is paid
A realm's end of days
Closes upon the stage
Follow the waves of time and space

A power cosmic
Lies dormant once again
Soul bound to the sword's command

I am the wielder of absolution

Behold
My kingdom of infinity

Behold
A gateway opens in the sky

Behold
