| In the dark there lurks a shadowed truth
|
| Far beneath the ancient stones
|
| The soul of primeval man has been profaned
|
| No fiend or foe could ever match my skill
|
| My blade is feared throughout the land
|
| The black heart of the abyss will die by my hand
|
| It is my solemn charge to guard the flame
|
| Into aphotic depths I ride to meet my fate
|
| Ancient fire, fill my raging heart
|
| As I charge into the endless dark
|
| Steel my will against what hell may come
|
| I will not turn back, I know what must be done
|
| With a battle-wolf proudly at my side
|
| And a greatsword in my hand
|
| We know what our duty demands
|
| But nothing could have prepared us for this
|
| The primal force that lurks within the dark
|
| Is twisted by sorrow and rage
|
| I know it will cost me my life, but I must help my companion escape
|
| It is my solemn charge to guard the flame
|
| In those aphotic depths I met my storied fate
|
| Ancient fire, fill my raging heart
|
| As I charge into the endless dark
|
| Steel my will against what hell may come
|
| I will not turn back, I know what must be done
|
| (Lead: Palmer)
|
| I feel the claws of darkness sink into my soul
|
| And as they begin to change me, I know that I must let go
|
| Ashen one, in combat come and take my life from me
|
| Forgive me, all of you, for I have availed you nothing
|
| Ancient fire, fill my raging heart
|
| As I charge into the endless dark
|
| Steel my will against what hell may come
|
| I will not turn back, I know what must be done
|
| Dying fire filled my anguished heart
|
| As I fought against the endless dark
|
| I broke my will against the hell that came
|
| Relieve me of my charge
|
| Carry on the flame |
