about

He will have vengeance, and you be unmade.

lyrics

Sit down my son and let me tell you a tale
Of a broken man, from up above he did hail
On the surface world, he served the light
Here’s the story of his journey through night

I am the pride that loses the war
I am the hate that rottens the core
I am the coward who runs from defeat
I am the fear that keeps me from sleep

The Paladin is dead
The Paladin has LOST HIS HEAD
He can no longer fight
So long as he is wrapped in night

I am the Tower with inverted floors
I am the Library read no more
I see the Paladin searching my realm
He’s lost his faith and thrown o-off his helm

The Paladin has come
Searching for ancient wisdom
Through study, he learned an arcane rite
But what he touched, well, she was the Mother of Night

I am the Queen o’er all of the dead
Take up my mantle and bow your head
I grant you the power to battle great foes
When the task is complete, you will pay what you owe

The Paladin arise
He sees the dark world through new eyes
Taking up his sword with new eldritch might
Escewing his shield, he heads into the night

Out from the Tower, all is made clear
Hear me denizens of darkness, and feel you fear
I bear the Queen’s blessing, and A giant blade
I will have vengeance, and you, be unmade

The Paladin ascends
The Demon Lord’s reign is DESTINED TO end
What price did he pay to make all these wrongs right
Well son, that’s a tale for another night
