Dystera : Journey into the Shades
Las palabras
1. THE TOME (INTRO)
The tome which was to become
The book of the world, was already ancient.
When it gave life to the wanderer of the world
To become its keeper.
Soon, the wanderer started traveling the earth
And as he crossed the lands.
The future history of mankind
Was written down in the book of the world.
At the end of his journey,
The wanderer returned to the centre of the world
And opened his tome.
As he read,
Life was born
And mankind's fate started
Running its course
2. VOICE OF THE SHADOWS
Finally we are free
Of the constraints that held us.
The forces of peace and harmony,
That imprisoned us
Eternal foes of ours,
Are now banished from this world.
No matter what you do,
You can't prevent our victory.
Our time has come
And with it your downfall.
No matter what you do,
You can't prevent our victory.
Our rule will last for eternity
We will run across the land
Hunt down all that's beautiful.
We'll feed on your pain and despair
And rejoice in the sound of your cries.
No matter what you do...
Nowhere for you to hide
You will be granted no rest.
Our voices will remind you that we're here
And will haunt you even in your dreams.
No matter what you do,
You can't prevent our victory.
Our time has come
And with it your downfall.
No matter what you do,
You can't prevent our victory.
Our rule will last for eternity
3. TASK OF THE SAGES
Great evil befalls us
As the writings always foretold.
Great evil befalls us
As the writings always foretold.
Written in stone is also
Utter defeat of shadow.
From the forest will rise one of us
To conquer the enemy.
Listen to us hopeful youngling.
The time now has come,
Prepare to leave your home
And to journey far away.
Gather your strength young warrior.
You've been charged with this task.
Fill the surrounding darkness with
He glow of a new day's dawn.
Heavy's the load of
The burden you have to carry.
You will fulfil the most
Ancient of prophecies.
Go seek the hidden tower
In the centre of the world.
Find out the secret
Ancient tome of the wanderer
The book of the world
Which hold in sacred letters.
The fate of mankind

That perished with the light.
Return to your kind the hope
Of presages fulfilled
Be on your way and don't hesitate
You're the one to defeat the shadow carry faith in your heart never let it falter at the hideous sight of the enemy
4. JUDGEMENT OF THE WISE
My fathers were neither kings.
Nor great warriors their names not remembered in songs
There is no greatnes.
There is no splendour in the blood that's been passed on to me.
My sword is only as strong as my arms,
My arrows not as swift as my eyes.
I am not destined for any great deeds
But I trust the judgement of those who know more of these matters,
Who've lived longer than me.
Those who know secrets of old,
Who see hidden truths in their dreams.
Even though I don't know if I'm worthy of this task
I will do as I'm told
I trust the judgement if the wise.
I still wonder why i've been chosen
For so great and daring a task.
The elders must be mistaken,
I'm not who they think I am.
How can I be the hero
To erase darkness with light ?
I who has no great virtue,
I who is but a man
But I trust the judgement of those who know more of these matters,
Who've lived longer than me.
Those who know secrets of old,
Who see hidden truths in their dreams.
Even though I don't know if I'm worthy of this task
I will do as I'm told
I trust the judgement if the wise.
My fathers were neither kings.
Nor great warriors their names not remembered in songs
There is no greatnes.
There is no splendour in the blood that's been passed on to me.
My sword is only as strong as my arms,
My arrows not as swift as my eyes.
I am not destined for any great deeds
But I trust...
5. TRAVELING THE LAND
I stand at the edge of the forest
That's been my world ever since was born full of hope
I take this first step
Into a land that is foreign to me .
Out of the forest,
I stride into a wide open realm.
Not looking back, I don't need to see,
To see my homeland weeping good bye .
Where will this journey take me ?
What marvellous things
Are there for me to see ?
I'll just travel the land,
And meet the fate that comes my way.
My beloved forest already disappeared far behind me
Now ahead somewhere still beyond my,
My reach lies the tower of the world.
In between lies immense the unknown full of wonders and dangers.
I'll carry my burden through all of it until I arrive at my goal.
Where will this journey take me ?
What marvellous things
Are there for me to see ?
I'll just travel the land,
And meet the fate that comes my way.
6. PLIGHT OF THE KNIGHTS
All the knights assembled
In the shattered kingdom.
Mighty warriors of all the lands
Fight, fight for the same
With strength and bravery
To draw back the shadows.
Plight of the knights
To fight for the light.
Swords raised high,
The fire in their eyes.
Warrior of the woodlands
Sworn by his own blood
To defend the darkening world.
From the shadow`s rule
Ready to give his life
To win back their (all) freedom.
Plight of the knights
To fight for the light.
Swords raised high,
The fire in their eyes.
All with the same ambition
On the same quest:
Why not fight together ?
Together they will be strong
Holy oaths and deadly steel
Ready to march against the enemy
Plight of the knights
To fight for the light.
Swords raised high,
The fire in their eyes
To fight
7. TUNES OF HOLY WAR
Look at our ranks
Awaiting battle so proud
Hear the drums sounding
For our righteous cause
We've chosen our ground.
We'll fight for our kingdom,
We'll make our last stand
And we won't be defeated.
Horizon is swarming with
black shadow creatures.
They're close Now I see them.
Their horns and spikes and ugly grins.
Their cries chill my bones,
Their sight makes my heart faint.
I'm glad I'm not standing
Alone on this field.
And now it's time for the blades to sing,
To sing the tunes of this holy war.
Today we decide the fate of the world.
Our hope pounding loud in our hearts
Look at those fools
Going to battle so proud firmly believing
They'll save the world,
They entrust our salvation to the might of their swords.
They're blind to the odds we're completely outnumbered
black shadow creatures.
They're close Now I see them.
Their scorn and spite brushing my skin.
This fight's not my own
This is not where my path leads
I know that I do not belong on this field.
And now it's time...
The battle is decided
Is (now) decided
We flee now or we die.
They tried and failed.
I failed with them
My quest is far far from over
And now it's time...
8. HOPELESS
The ravaging hordes of the enemy
Have swallowed the last resistance of light
The final battle's been lost
No one left to fulfill the vow of the knights
I'm trapped in this feeling of hopelessness
The world is shrouded in black.
All that was fair is now covered in shadow
I wish I could go back to the world that I know
Where shall I look find some guidance ?
My quest still leads me on
But i'm missing the signs that show me the way.
Tell me so tell me what should i do ?
There's no answer no one to help me
Escape this feeling of hopelessness
The world is shrouded in black.
All that was fair is now covered in shadow
I wish I could go back to the world that I know
Where shall I look find some guidance ?
I'm trapped in this feeling of hopelessness
The world is shrouded in black.
All that was fair is now covered in shadow
I wish I could go back to the world that I know
Where shall I look find some guidance ?
9. A TRAVELER'S DESTINATION
Into a hidden valley walks
A thoughtful man not knowing.
He's the first to stir
It's dust that he's reached the place.
He once set out to find
Too worried to even glance
At the landscape before him.
Out of the all-engulfing gloom
Rises a massive shape in awe
Now he beholds the tower of the world.
Within the ancient walls of a fortress
Older than time,
On this sacred ground
He will face his destiny
One single lit window fills him with hope open swing the doors he steps inside even thicker blackness throws its arms around him blindly he begins his ascent
A hundred eyes staring at me invisible.
Hands tearing at my soul high above a beckoning light
One false step an infinite
Fall dwindling strength crippling fear between me and my uncertain goal
Within the ancient...
The single candle that lights.
The pergameneous pages
Flickers at the entrance of the stumbling warrior think himself in a dream
He nears the book of mankind
And reads the tale of the coming of the shadow.
Within the ancient walls of a fortress
Older than time,
He turns the page
And meets his destiny
The history of the world
Revealed on the leaves before him.
His eyes read the tale of the return of the light
And as he reads the future of mankind unfolds in all the lands the wanderer once crossed
Wthin the ancient...
