(An ancient power lost to the past)
(The steel was forged and a spell was cast)
Journeys across land and sea
To find the scripts of destiny
A work of ages hidden away
Through forest, mountain, ocean and cave
Songs speak of its place of rest
Kept inside a rotting chest
To find this tome would seal thine fate
For storms do grow and the hour is late
(The ancient codex is the key)
(Pages blaze with sorcery)
Of lore in ancient moldered tomes
Black speech written by three old crones
Bound in flesh and bone
Written in blood and stone
Tales of past and magick
Spells to hide what is shown
If the book is found
By a hero so renowned
Power of the earth and time
Will be unleashed unto all kind
These forces are beyond war
Beyond man and beast
Beyond lore
Our only choice is to accept our end
And pray we suffer the least
