Soundestiny - The land of shadow Lyrics
There were three rings cast in the distant past for the elven kings to ownSeven more were held by the dwarves who dwell in their havens made of stoneMortal men had nine in the grand design by the dark one in his towerThe lord of darkness, cold and heartless, with the one great ring of powerIn the land of shadow, the sun never shinesIn the land of shadow, the skies are not kindBut the sands of time falling through the hourglass, ran for thousands of yearsEmpire became ashes became dustAnd the lord of evil, his reign of power past, vows he will reappearConquer and master he mustIn the mountain gorges and the river waters, I could feel the world was changingIn the rocks and trees, and the forest breeze, a wicked force was wakingThere were odd sensations and strange vibrations, my mind was filled with doubtI saw rain-clouds storming, and anger forming in the dark skies to the southIn the land of shadow, the warning is clearIn the land of shadow, there’s much to be fearedSo prepare to bow to the shadow kingdom, and kiss your freedom goodbyeSurrender to the dark power sublimeThere’s no hand of mercy, no guiding wisdom, and every one must complyIt's only a matter of timeThere were three rings cast in the distant past that the elf lords still retainSeven more were made, but they appear mislaid by the dwarves who search in vainMortal men had nine till their fate was signed by the dark one in his towerMy lord and master who hungers after the one great ring of powerIn the land of shadow, one ring decidesIn the land of shadow, who will presideIn the land of shadow, there’s nowhere to hideIn the land of shadow, your freedom denied
