The Shadow of Mithril Mountains

I speak to you now, sons and daughters of Dragonland

After what may seem to some like a lifetime of silence

These words are not my own, for I utter the mind of Elsydeon

Now that his voice can no longer carry the fate of this withering race

I bring hope for all creatures of our once glorious lands

For I speak about the one man who still has the power to save our world

And of what we must do to find him

Dark rumours speak of an evil

A shadow that devours your soul

Rising from a being that was one with all

Raised in the halls of the mountains

To grant them a hope he was born

Ephemereal one, he was destiny's son

Now the prophecy is undone

Devious - they say his return is glorious

Hear his name, fear the changes he will make

He will rule supreme

That I know, I've seen it in my dreams

Our world at war will be

But true hope lies beyond the sea

To light our path and keep us from harm

(Once a mortal man, sane

Ascended to godhood, only to cast it away

And merge with the fabric of the cosmos

A hundred year sleep drove him mad)

Awaken from a century's slumber

To spread fear across the ivory plains

A malicious return, now the fates we must turn

Or Dragonland will burn

Treacherous - they say his return is glorious

Fear his name, Dragonland won't be the same

He will rule supreme

That I know, I've seen it in my dreams

Our world at war will be

But true hope lies beyond the sea

To light our path and keep us from harm

Devious - they say his return is glorious

Hear his name, fear the changes he will make

He will rule supreme

That I know, I've seen it in my dreams

Our world at war will be

But true hope lies beyond the sea

To light our path and keep us from harm
