Alas! Hope shall quickly Flee
the Shadows appear
and cause All to be
a Fallen people o’er this Land.

What draws nigh? Madness and Fear
Great, Black Wings in th’ Air
Faceless terrors at them Leer
you, I forewarn–never Look there!

yet Close not your Eyes
the Dark Lord has devise,
and the Nine’s Evil Screams
Shall break through your Dreams.

All the people, they flee
as the Shadows draw near;
the Black Wings seek to sear
our Hearts with their Screams.

Shadows have come;
to Take Away Dreams.
They cover the Sun.

What shall you say?
when your young ones come
This same Day–
their Eyes full of Tears.

when they Ask you
with Eyes full of Fears;
Mama, what Are These Shadows?

you shall Tell them the Truth;
Will you Not say then
of Nine trinkets that Allure
Nine Kings of Men?

The Dark Lord, he is Shrewd.
Long Ago he crafted
Nine Rings for Men Kings;
they easily Fell.

Each one sold his Soul
and this I will tell;
Though it is softly said:

They are Living Forever,
yet Always Dead.

Nine Kings are now Servants
They only answer to him:
the Dark Lord–the Eye.

Yet let our Hope not grow Dim.
my child, do not Cry…
Soon our King returns!

Let those Nine Shadows Fly.
and though they bring Terror,
take Pity as well.

We are free! Never did we sell
our Souls to the Devil.
Softly is said–
the Nine

Are Living Forever,
yet Always Dead.
