Down over the shadow mountain pass
The dark demons descended on us
Deep in the blackness of midnight
They fell on us-we weren’t ready to fight
Gnashing teeth and tearing claws
Silently they scaled our walls
Pitiless blades pierced the skin
Death and torment and torture within
With eyes so red and skin so foul
We were awoken by the howl
The warning cry we heard belated
Their carnal appetites soon were stated
Rend the flesh and bones of our kin
They wore leather made from human skin
Curved black blades in the night
Gleamed dull red in the full moonlight
The sound of drums with a rhythmic boom
Summoned a beast that darkened the moon
Immense and dark of heart was he
Void of compassion was this beast
The light was swallowed by his scales
The bravest hearts began to fail
The fall of every living thing
Came in the form of this Demon King
Yet in one Heart of Light welled strong
The empowering melody of Goddesses song
To the tallest tower sped Liam the Fair
Arduously climbing the spiralling stairs
The walls of the Keep rattled and shook
Yet this foul evil he would not brook
He gained the tower to top so high
Already consenting to lay down his life
With his mouth set determined and grim
He caught sight of the Demon King
He leaped from the wall with daggers twain
And tore the mighty wing membrane
The Demon King roared and fell
At that sight men’s hearts swelled
And as the beast and Liam crashed down
Rallied the men to defend crown
At the death of their blackest leader beast
The demon spawn threw aside their feast
Their courage gone the gutless swill
Fled screaming for the foothills
Liam the Fair had turned the fight
Yet paid the ultimate price that night
Now came time to count the dead
And lay Lights hero on his funeral bed.
