Eve of Corruption: The Days of Astasia - Part One
The plane of fire Six centuries past The angel overlord began his selfish quest To rule on Athland He schemed and lied They sailed the black seas and the balance died Now our world is held in sway The balance fades away To bring the final Days of Astasia Down far below He is calling out for souls And in dreams he will promise you the powers of old War has begun on this eve of corruption The days the prophets warned us of have come The war of balance Now rages on Unite the clans of old to fight the burning one 'Twas there on Vhaltas It came to pass A sacrifice was made to bind him there at last Now our world is held in sway The balance fades away To bring the final Days of Astasia Down far below He is calling out for souls In dreams he will promise you the powers of old War has begun on this eve of corruption And the days the prophets warned us of have come They have come

One has come for heresy, the other for his trust These two souls from different lands sharing one fate Sail on the Chasmere Sea These two rites are too wrong, the Balance is breaking Fall with me now (into Abyss) Like the angels of old, tested and wanting Upon the Burning Isles Fire has reigned forever Praise to the dark master Burning beyond The chosen one before the throne, denied of his fate For two aspects of the god, Sol Saradys waking... Fall with me now (into Abyss) Like the angels of old, tested and wanting Upon the Burning isles Fire has reigned forever Praise to the dark master Burning beyond Lies of the Corruptor Twisting in the nether Promises of power From the beyond Bound in fire, imprisoned by my hand Sol Saradys has slept for six hundred years But now the lord of corruption has awoken To lend his dark power to those willing to sell their souls To chaos Upon the Burning isles Fire has reigned forever Praise to the dark master Burning beyond Lies of the Corruptor Twisting in the nether Promises of power From the beyond Far beyond

It's been years since I have truly felt as if I did not know what tomorrow holds Once I lived just as the dice I rolled But that was long before I called these forests home My home... 'Round my neck hangs ancient power Binding me to Lockrian Where do I belong? Bound here to the dream Will I ever be free from this stone? It changed me forever How I long to escape To the life I remember Each day I wake in service to the council and Each night I fall into her waiting arms How can I stay when I still feel so restless But how can I go if it will cause her harm? My love... Trapped inside this emerald prison Suffering by my own hand What have I become? (What have you, oh what have we become?) Bound here to the dream Will I ever be free from this stone? It changed me forever How long to escape To the life I remember Do you remember me?

I still recall the way the mists Rose up upon the waters A silent herald of The coming darkness from the Isles Now born on the winds of fire Enshrouded by the storm All those who serve corruption Sailing on to bring their war To our gates, to our shores And with the Eurheborn gone Who shall defend us, Celendas? Atop the Phoenix Tower The old king spies betrayal Too late his kingdom falls By the sword and by the sail The young prince finds his father Lain broken near his end Commands the prince be gone To find the sword that once defended Our own gates, our own shores And with the Eurheborn gone Who shall defend us, Celendas? In chaos, our city falls beneath The black sails and dark flames The Balance, now broken All we knew, will surely be swept away For our gates, for our shores And with the Eurheborn gone We shall defend you, Celendas In chaos, our city falls beneath The black sails and dark flames The Balance, now broken All we knew, will surely be swept away

Each new day is much like the last Walk these halls of stone and of glass Read their hooks and hang on their words Ignoring all of the whispers you have heard When the chaos comes, can you stand against the fire Or will you give in to the secrets of the spire Each dark night is much like the last Fill your mind with deeds of the past As the world is passing you by Child, to see you must first open your eyes When the chaos comes, and the Calluses below Open on our world letting loose the things they hold Men will you rise up, can you stand against the fire Or will you give in to the secrets of the spire Break the seal and you will set us free Legions wait below impatiently Behold, the secrets of the spire Stone by stone you built this tower of lies Bone by bone we shall reclaim your lives Behold, the secrets of the spire Beware, the secrets of the spire Instrumental

Shadows dance among the windswept streets of this Woodside hamlet where our chase has ended But in the silence, as the sky grows dark with storm Raiken grows restless, and he breaks of for the Baron's manor There he still hangs from the sky Beware the sounds of the dead as they rise Holiest rites make me your vessel and fill me with power To turn away darkness Heavenly light shine down upon us and make me your force For this is my wrath divine From the scraps beneath him history reveals Grief had driven him to sick obsession Now unchained, his dead love walks before us Followed by shambling hordes, the slaughtered Town unleashed My prayers shall open the sky Beware my fury shall summon the light Holiest rites make me your vessel and fill me with power To turn away darkness Heavenly light shine down upon us and make me your force For this is my wrath divine Wrath divine This is my wrath divine By the Hammer and Flame, the Spear and the Blade - Brother this is no time for prayer! Grant me your power to put an end to this blasphemy - These things are not dying! My wrath divine This is my wrath divine My prayers shall open the sky Beware my fury shall summon the light I am the one calling the Heavens to burn like the sun To turn away darkness Heavenly light is coursing within me and I am the force And this is my wrath divine Holiest rites make me your vessel and fill me with power To turn away darkness Heavenly light is coursing within me and I am the force And this is my wrath divine

The sword of blood, holds endless pain Kept in the heart of darkness The dragon's child of Adratheon's reign Our only hope is the Dragonsbane The Dragonsbane Forged by Galvians in blood so long ago A blade to end the terror of Adratheon It rests within his heart, its aim left unfulfilled Guarded by specters of the dragon's wrath so many Years ago Abstain from this crypt; here lies only your ruin Let dead remain dead, turn away Stand aside all shadows; this is what I'm after I see a sword inside, my soul is restless now If fate has brought me here Then I shall have my answers I hear a voice like whispers burning through my mind Finally you've learned what you are inside No average mortal, yes my blood is in your veins A spawn of dragon lust, can you feel the power? Step closer, take the blade, your destiny awaits Flee from this evil that burns in your heart The sword has a price you can't pay Come to me, my son, for this is what you're after The sword within my heart, your twisted legacy I sense your questions child Before you lies the answers Release me from this curse and we shall rule these lands Father, I've ignored their warnings I'm finally at your side in the fathomless heights Of Demonscale These kings be damned I've found my way to your altar, your grave I am one with the Dragonsbane In the tower of Adratheon Anathu ignores the wisdom of the kings of old And as the fury of the sword envelopes his soul His father's will shall be done My hand upon the sword, and I can feel its power Your voice inside my head, so desperate for release The specters all around, echoing my own doubts My senses overwhelmed as I pull the greatsword free Now that our failure is truly complete The curse of the blade shall destroy him Anathu we are one, no matter what comes after The sword is in our hands, this is our destiny And now the world awaits and they are gonna answer After one final task that you must still complete The sword of blood, holds endless pain Kept in the heart of darkness The dragon's child of Adratheon's reign Our only hope is the Dragonsbane The Dragonsbane

It's there in his eyes The guilt of a thousand lives lost In sorrow we ride In search of the sword to save us Behind us Celendas is burning Before us the Neveren await Surrounded by endless despair I must lead him on through this waste I shall sing to force him onward Guide his fate The Prince of Doom The foothills of Scorn (where evil awaits) The skies growing ever darker A shadow that falls (Adratheon's spawn) A stranger in black revealed Above us the wyrmlings are swirling Before us the son and the sword The prince shall engage the pariah His challenge will not be ignored I shall sing to spark his fury Misstep, missed note Seals our Doom From his slumber Comes a warrior In his hands The sword Salvation I must sing We must go onward Has this loss foretold our door? Our Doom

All I had wanted Nothing more than this The power I now hold The taste of your kiss But now as I stare Into your vacant eyes His presence overwhelms And I can taste the lie Stay by my side For we were meant to be Let the world be damned Just hold onto me When I believed in love When I believed in fate I was made the fool Now all that's left is hate And so begins my fall His fire I embrace Within this heartless world I have found my place All I had wanted To save you from the flame Show you life holds beauty To take away your pain But now I can see The feelings in your eyes Your longing overwhelms And our love is a lie Stay by my side For we were meant to be Let the world be damned Just hold onto me When I believed in love When I believed in fate I was made the fool Now all that's left is hate And so begins my fall His fire I embrace Within this heartless world I have found my place When I believed in love And I believed in you You left me only hate Fall with me now Within this heartless world I have found my place

The Burrow Gates below, a labyrinth of old The prophet guides the way to Lockri's sacred stone This union must not fail to stay corruption's rise Within the shadow lurks the demon's watchful eyes The council's cause is dying by the elder's fear War to end all wars The legions draw near Hand of chaos writhe, as darkness takes their minds The Burning One shall rise from the fire Deep in Lockri's Hold, two shades corrupt his soul They're shattering the heart of an angel Two hands before the heart, two halves complete the whole Dark powers are unleashed to break his emerald soul Within the earthen halls the sentries have been slain The silence broken as the forest screams in pain The council's cause is dying by the elder's fear War to end all wars The legions draw near Hands of chaos writhe, as darkness takes their minds The Burning One shall rise from the fire Deep in Lockri's Hold, two shades corrupt his soul They're shattering the heart of an angel In our home, this doom surrounds us Have I caused this, my heart is broken The council's cause is dying by the elder's fear War to end all wars The legions draw near Hand of chaos writhe, as darkness takes their minds The Burning One shall rise from the fire Deep in Lockri's Hold, two shades corrupt his soul They're shattering the heart of an angel Somewhere hope remains, in the dawning of the day Our guardians shall rise from the ashes In the coming storm, the order is reborn And so begins the tale of the Lorenguard The sun sets and my slumber has come to an end Here we stand at the dawn of the Days of Astasia Sol Saradys reigns in Revery and has gained a dangerous Foothold in our realm Two shades of his malignant power have emerged to carry Out his dark plans of conquest And the people of Lorendale are beset on all sides Our only hope for this age lies in the union of champions Yet to come On this eve of corruption we must lend our faith to The Lorenguard
