Fire And Brimstone Lyrics - Under The Grey Banner - Dragonland

["The draconian laws of the King of Westmar left no man unaffected. In his will to restore order to Westmar and the lands beyond the Royal Guard was tenfold increased. Unruly elements among the populace was quickly sent to the gallows, the highland salt mines or worst of all; to the newly constructed and crowded factories filled with dark and twisted magical machinery, fuled by stinking ichors and run by gigantic cobs. 

Elf and dwarf, once brothers to men, were all singled out and charged with various crimes and accounts of treason. The once lively elven district of Westmar made way for smoke-spewing chimneys, and the children of Val'inthor were rounded up and deported or worse. Public show trials and executions became a daily affair, and it was at such a spectacle that the Islander once more heard the name of his dreams being called out, with a voice so utterly familiar"] 

A pale sun rises 

the crowds are gathered 

now red streams flow through the streets 

Upon the pyre 

Enchanted beauty 

her eyes upon me 

"Witch! Wraith! 

Light up the fire 

And feed her to the flames 

Let nothing remain" 

Now as I see her 

standing before me 

A stranger I know 

Where have I heard that voice before? 

I'm stirred to silence 

'neath brazen towers 

Doubt fills my heart with fear 

See clouds are massing 

on the horizon 

Her end is soon here 

I should turn away 

and leave her to her fate 

but something draws me to the flames 

"Stop! Halt! 

Who is this man 

that walks unharmed by fire 

That crosses the pyre?" 

Now as I see her 

standing before me 

A stranger I know 

Where have I seen her face before? 

[Solo: Lindskog] 

[Solo: Holmlid] 

[Solo: Mrck] 

Now as I freed her 

they all stand before me 

Stop! Halt! 

Don't let them pass 

They must not get away 

Guards! Stop them I say 

Now as I see her 

carried before me 

I finally know 

where I have heard that voice before! 

So far beyond the shore
