Before the Shadows Came

Before The Shadows Came

They 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
