1. The Dark Secret

[I : The Ancient Prophecy]

It was a good time for all creatures on the earth,
But fate decreed that the dark prophecy of a demon
Knight could bring a tragic end to this peace
Scarring their lives forever.
Shortly before his defeat in the last of the primordial
Wars between the heavens and hells the evil son
Of the Hell God Kron, known as Nekron, withdrew
To his lair in the underworld. There sensing his
Impending death he inscribed a testament of pure evil
In seven black books. One by one six of these books
Were discovered through the ages, however the
Seventh, last and most terrible of all contained the
Secret of his resurrection.
He commanded seven immortal demons to carry out
His dark plan. But they were turned into stone by
The angels of the crystal realms. And so his dreams
Slept with them until a time came when the forces of
Evilevul would usurp the earth. Nekron would rule in the
Unholy name of cosmic chaos.
And this time he would reign supreme!

[II : Ira Divina]

Ira divina
A dolore nunc libera nos
Tacet rota temporis
Nunc est silentium
Sempiternus angelus
A malo libera nos
A malo

2. Unholy Warcry

The dark lies a secret he is sworn to return to avenge the lost divine wars.

Algalord arise greater than before
Time of peace not of war
Shouts of freedom from the castle walls
Freedom in the land and hope for all
Hope for all

Into the silent dark forgotten
Caves of dark-Kunor
Deep in the secret book is awaiting
Unholy warcry
Nekron promised bloody terror
Bringing death and pain
To the new world

From the rocky mountains
To the golden sea
To the Barbarians' sacred hills
From the icy north and misty lakes
To the walls of Seth and Elvish plains
All beware!

Into the silent dark forgotten
Caves of dark-Kunor
Deep in the secret book is awaiting
Unholy warcry
Nekron promised bloody terror
Bringing death and pain
To the new world

Torment pain and bloody rain
Nekron's resurrection
They must kill the demon king
Or fight another war

"Nekron would rule
In the unholy name of cosmic chaos
And this time he would reign supreme"

He is Kron Kron's disciple
He is sworn to return
To avenge the lost devine wars

There was only one who knew the way
He lived in the dark lonely caves
The demon of the night
Could save the day
Should they take a change or run away
Dargor was his name!

Into the silent dark forgotten
Caves of dark-Kunor
Deep in the secret book is awaiting
Unholy warcry
Now they swore to band together
On a sacred journey
Called by fate time to be great
Unholy warcry
Nekron promised bloody terror
Bringing death and pain
To the new world

3. Wisdom Of The Kings

Removed the stones which hide the cave
Blind and dark along my way
I must go on wise and brave before a last hail
At the end of floor stairs of ancient stone
Lead me to a vision, an unreal hall

And they appear in front of me
Lightened by a mystic flame
A new dimension I have to face beyond the gates
I can not believe on what now I see
When the two demons awake from the sleep

Holy dragons keepers of time
Ride brave the blue skies and spell my eyes
Fly beyond these hills ride on the wind
The wisdom of the kings

Lost in a dream I'm under the spell
Of the sunny magic land
But Aresius said: become aware! all can hide the hell...
Now it's time to go to the mighty sword
It's time to follow the kings holy call

Holy dragons keepers of time
Ride brave the blue skies and spell my eyes
Fly beyond these hills ride on the wind
The wisdom of the kings

4. The Village Of Dwarves

The dwarves of Lark are showing all their honour
When you walk on the Gandor secret hill

The dance for fire and wind
And the stories about old kings
Are pleasing our brave lords
Down in the village of dwarves

The elves are playing under timeless willows
While blue and red paint all my beloved land

The dance for fire and wind
And the stories about old kings
Are pleasing our brave lords
Down in the village of dwarves

The eagle's eye is hiding something tragic
But in this night the red wine rules in me

The dance for fire and wind
And the stories about old kings
Are pleasing our brave lords
Down in the village of dwarves

And all night long me Arwald and Aresius
We speak, we laugh, we honor our king

The dance for fire and wind
And the stories about old kings
Are pleasing our brave lords
Down in the village of dwarves

The eagle's eye is hiding something tragic
But in this night the red wine rules in me

The dance for fire and wind
And the stories about old kings
Are pleasing our brave lords
Down in the village of dwarves

And time has come now to ride
Before the end of the night
The march of the swordmaster
To the unholy fight

And time has come now to ride
Before the end of the night
The march of the swordmaster
To the unholy fight

Unholy fight
Unholy fight

5. Erian's Mystical Rhymes

In Primordial times of sorrow
Ancient ages of the known world
Kron's reign of terror was rising
So the skylords sent their angels
Against the storm that threatened heavens
Seven wars were so fought
The dead rose
Led by the darklords of hell
The last war
Meant the end
Of hellgod's
Old reign

Dark memories lost in the shades of illusion
Warn the light of electric sky
The angels could change the life on earth
But not the demons' old plans

United force of stron wise men...
A new order soon was born
Ten kings, ten wizards, elves and dragonlords
Ready to fight for their world

Ready to face the last secret
Hidden for 5000 angels' years
5000 years

A great and new hope in Elgard was born
The one hope that could finally find the

Sacred words to stop the dark plan of Nekron
All contained in Erian's mystical white book

The holy council cast their vote
Hearing the deep voice of soul
Etherus... Iras... two names on all
Elected to face the darklord

They knew so well Erian's tale
What could be found between his rhymes
His rhymes of divine light
Written to save our lands

Ready to face the last secret
Hidden for 5000 angels' years
5000 years

Now is the time for them to share all their plans
The one hope that could finally find the

Sacred words to stop the dark plan of Nekron
All contained in Erian's mystical white book

So the name was chosen
White Dragon's Order
All sworn to fight
All for one
One for all

A great and new hope in Elgard was born
The one hope that could finally find the

Sacred words to stop the dark plan of Nekron
All contained in Erian's mystical white book
Sacred words to stop the dark plan of Nekron
All contained in Erian's mystical white book

6. Dawn Of Victory

Fire is raging on the battlefield
While Arwald is fighting the war of the kings
The army of Dargor, the thunder, the storm...
So people are calling the brave and his sword
No time left to save the wise throne!

Shades of a past not so far to forget...
The rise of the demons from their bloody Hell!
So come mighty warrior to light the lost hope
For Tharos the dragon and your cosmic soul...
Now handle your emerald sword!

For Ancelot
The ancient cross of war
For the holy town of gods
Gloria, gloria perpetua
In this dawn of victory

The ride of the dead and their practice of pain
Is pounding in him as a terrific quake
You're closer and closer now follow their smell
With your holy armour the steel in your hand
Fly angel of bloody revenge!

For Ancelot
The ancient cross of war
For the holy town of gods
Gloria, gloria perpetua
In this dawn of victory

Tragic and furious the clash of the steel of the gods
And so magic the power, the sword in his valorous hands
Oceans of fire are blasting the throne of the demons
And from distant red skies the thunders are calling his name
The name of the master of pain!

For Ancelot
The ancient cross of war
For the holy town of gods
Gloria, gloria perpetua
In this dawn of victory
Gloria, gloria perpetua
In this dawn of victory

7. Lamento Eroico

Langue in me l'eco infranto
al truce sguardo dell'angelo cieco
rovina in me l'antica rima
nel cuor del cigno ferito e morente...

Cosmi di eternita' tradita
di verita' svanite che ora versano
lacrime d'addio in un vuoto nero...
sincero e fiero al mio destino andro'...

Urla il tuono
al mio Lamento Eroico
sorte... consuma la realta'!

Spiriti di mondi arcani
chiedo la vita al di la' della morte
per allinear le stelle amiche
e diventar guardiano celeste

Custode di eternita' guarita
di verita' trovate per tutti i figli di madre terra...
sempre a lei ho dato la vita... la morte...
cosi' continuero'!

Urla il tuono
al mio Lamento Eroico
sorte... consuma la realta'!

8. Nightfall On The Grey Mountains

Holy angels of eternal light
You who fell in the primordial age
Between these dark and grey lonely mountains
Who died to protect the green of the earth

For Algalord and Elgard, Thorald and Elnor
For all the towns of the known world
For the icy northlands, the waterfalls' kingdom
The dwarves' western realms and the whole middle lands

Cold mystic night - it falls on the plane
On the grey mountains reigns now the shade
Angels of light give them the faith
Time now has come
Dar-Kunor awaits

Unknown threat - it fills the dry air
The howling of wolves fades behind them
They try to find rest between the wild rocks
The one they'll soon see can be their last dawn

The angels' lament breaths in the cold winds
Whispers of death surround the wide marsh
Dar-Kunor is there to swallow their souls
In front of them another hell's gate

Cold mystic night - it falls on the plane
On the grey mountains reigns now the shade
Angels of light give them the faith
Time now has come
Dar-Kunor awaits

9. March Of The Swordmaster

Ride... die... sacrifice!

Along the river of bloody tears
The mighty steel shining in my hands
We march and honor our brothers
Victims of Kron's evil plan

We cross the lakes of the holy woods
To reach the ocean where red waves rule
The black king is moving to Algalord
This is the time... he has to be stopped!

Hail, Hail!
...Brave Swordmaster!
March, March!
...Great Swordmaster!
And I ask the wind for the fall of the king...!

Into the ray of the sun
March our hero hunting the darklord
Reborn from the blood of his God...
His God... the warmaster Kron
Ride for the fall of his power
Fighting the storm, the roar of the thunder
Ally of the sun and the moon...
Great swordmaster rule!

Between the waves of the raging sea
Echoes of warcries and battle hymns
The underworld's armies found their ancient queen
The funeral march in the depths of the abyss

The terror which strikes, the honor which prays
Will be face to face in the mortal doomsday
Resist my fierce soldiers their vision can kill
It will test your courage... and your will to live

Hail, Hail!
...Brave Swordmaster!
March, March!
...Great Swordmaster!
And I ask the wind for the fall of the king...!

Into the ray of the sun
March our hero hunting the darklord
Reborn from the blood of his God...
His God... the warmaster Kron
Ride for the fall of his power
Fighting the storm, the roar of the thunder
Ally of the sun and the moon...
Great swordmaster rule!

Into the ray of the sun
March our hero hunting the darklord
Reborn from the blood of his God...
His God... the warmaster Kron
Ride for the fall of his power
Fighting the storm, the roar of the thunder
Ally of the sun and the moon...
Great swordmaster rule!

Into the ray of the sun
March our hero hunting the darklord
Reborn from the blood of his God...
His God... the warmaster Kron
Ride for the fall of his power
Fighting the storm, the roar of the thunder
Ally of the sun and the moon...
Great swordmaster rule!

To avenge all those cries I will rise to the sky
To defend mother life...
Ride... die... sacrifice!

10. Emerald Sword

I crossed the valleys the dust of midlands
To search for the third key to open the gates
Now I'm near the altar the secret inside
As legend told my beloved sun light the dragons eyes
On the way to the glory I'll honour my sword
To serve right ideals and justice for all

Finally happened the sun lit their eyes
The spell was creating strange games of light
Thanks to hidden mirrors I found my lost way
Over the stones I reached the place it was a secret cave
In a long bloody battle that prophecies told
The light will prevail hence wisdom is gold

For the king for the land for the mountains
For the green valleys where dragons fly
For the glory the power to win the black lord
I will search for the emerald sword

Only a warrior with a clear heart
Could have the honour to be kissed by the sun
Yes, I'm that warrior I followed my way
Led by the force of cosmic soul I can reach the sword
On the way to the glory I'll honour my sword
To serve right ideals and justice for all

For the king for the land for the mountains
For the green valleys where dragons fly
For the glory the power to win the black lord
I will search for the emerald sword
