The Necromancer
From - Caress Of Steel
I. Into the Darkness

'As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky, the three travelers, men of Willowdale, 
emerge from the forest shadow. Fording the River Dawn, they turn south, journeying 
into the dark and forbidding lands of the Necromancer
Even now the intensity of his dread power can be felt, weakening the body and saddening 
the heart
Ultimately they will become empty, mindless spectres...stripped of will and soul, only 
their thirst for freedom gives them hunger for vengeance...'

Silence shrouds the forest
As the birds announce the dawn
Three trav'llers ford the river
And southward journey on
The road is lined with peril
The air is charged with fear
The shadow of his nearness
Weighs like iron tears

II. Under the Shadow 'Shreds of black cloud loom in overcast skies. The Necromancer keeps watch with his magic prism eyes. He views all his lands and is already aware of the three helpless invaders trapped in his lair...' Brooding in the tower Watching o'er his land Holding ev'ry creature Helplessly they stand Gaze into his prisms Knowing they are near Lead them to the dungeons Spectres numb with fear They bow defeated

III. Return Of the Prince 'Enter the Champion Prince By-Tor appears to battle for freedom from chains of long years The spell has been broken...the Dark Lands are bright. The Wraith of the Necromancer soars away in the night.' Stealthily attacking By-Tor slays his foe The men are free to run now From labyrinths below The Wraith of Necromancer Shadows through the sky Another land to darken With evil prism eye
