Rush - The Necromancer Lyrics
Words and music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peartI. into darknessAs grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky, the threeTravelers, men of willow dale, emerge from the forestShadow. fording the river dawn, they turn south,Journeying into the dark and forbidding lands of theNecromancer. even now the intensity of his dread powerCan 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 freedomGives them hunger for vengeance...Silence shrouds the forestAs the birds announce the dawnThree travllers ford the riverAnd southward journey onThe road is lined with perilThe air is charged with fearThe shadow of his nearnessWeighs like iron tearsIi. under the shadowShreds of black cloud loom in overcast skies. theNecromancer keeps watch with his magic prism eyes. heViews all his lands and is already aware of the threeHelpless invaders trapped in his lair...Brooding in the towerWatching oer his landHolding evry creatureHelplessly they standGaze into his prismsKnowing they are nearLead them to the dungeonsSpectres numb with fearThey bow defeatedIii. return of the princeEnter the champion.Prince by-tor appears to battle for freedom from chainsOf long years. the spell has been broken...the dark landsAre bright, the wraith of the necromancer soars away...inThe night.Stealthily attackingBy-tor slays his foeThe men are free to run nowFrom labyrinths belowThe wraith of necromancerShadows through the skyAnother land to darkenWith evil prism eye...
