Before the Shadows CameBefore The Shadows CameThey came from far away that night to join the final fight Men and women, young and old, under the banner of light They came to make their final stand, together united as one With fear arid anger in their hearts, prepared to give their lives And on the wind a song was heard, a thousand voices strong It told of peace and better days, before the shadows came A tale was sung, by the one who knew the words about a hero long ago The legend said, that the one would rise again, when evil threatened peaceful lands They all found faith, intthe old mans song, it qave them strength to carr.y-on But in the distance, they heard an evil chant, getting closer weakening their hearts We walk in darkness, we'll kill you all, lay down your weapons, you stand to fall But the old man said, you shall not fear, for the blessed one is here And with a smile the wizard heaven his staff, and in the sky a light appeared It hit the ground, where a young man raised his head, and he felt the strength from heroes long ago But in the distance, they heard an evil chant, getting closer weakening their hearts We walk in darkness, we'll kill you all, lay down your weapons, you stand to fall And the young man stood up before them, raising his sword to the sky Come my friends, we shall ride in to battle with our heads held high We' II be strong, and carry on, trough the night, we will fight Then the high was filled, with the cry of a thousand souls Screaming out for victory And the evil chant, vanished from the air, replaced by doubt and turned to fear As the cry grew stronger, the rising sun appeared, and drove the evil from their lands 2.
