The Beacons Must Be Lit!

Horns are sounding! A hero’s return!
He brings the news the king was dreading
Beyond the veil, the night is calling!
Fell magick abounds! The realm is falling

The darkness now is riding forth
We’ve no power to repel
10,000 strong in black plate steel
They’ll send us all to hell

The braziers must be lit
The drums of war are beating
Our allies heed our call
The beacons must be lit

The darkness now is riding forth
We’ve no power to repel
10, 000 strong in black plate steel
They’ll send us all to hell

Footsteps crunch into dead leaves beneath my feet
The torch lights my trail
Into the wilderness
Embers ascend into the dark sky above my head
I scale these palisades
Of pine, birch and oak

No man has been before me
On these forgotten cliffs
I will die a saviour
No man shall forget my sacrifice

Pale flickers in the moonlight
Around the kingdom now
A blaze on the mountaintop
An effigy of iron, blood, and man
