A minorAm       G+G      FF         A minorAm
Along a road in Hardorn, the place called Stony Tor
 C majorC        G+G       DmDm   A minorAm   G+G
A augmentedA fearful band of farmers flees karsite border war
 A minorAm        G+G       DmDm         G+G
A augmentedA frighted band of farmers, their children and their wives
   FF   A minorAm   G+G        FF     G+G     A minorAm
Seek refuge from a tyrant who wants more than just their lives

  C majorC        D MajorD      C majorC           G+G
Now up rides Herald Vanyel "Why then such haste" says he
  C majorC       G+G     FF      C majorC
Now who is it persuing,who's anger do you flee?
C majorC       G+G      C majorC    G+G
You are all of Hardorn why seek you Valdemar?
  FF   C majorC D MajorD       FF      G+G    A minorAm
Is Festil no protection nor bide all his men too far?

  A minorAm       G+G     FF        A minorAm
Oh Vanyel, Herald Vanyel, We flee now for our lives
   A minorAm          G+G    DmDm        G+G
Lord Nedran would enslave us, our childeren and our wives
   A minorAm        G+G      DmDm      G+G
He'd give our souls to demons, our bodies to his men
   FF   A minorAm   G+G      FF    G+G   A minorAm
King Festil has not heeded or he happens not to ken

  C majorC        D MajorD      C majorC       G+G
Now up speaks Herald Vanyel,"The border is not far"
  C majorC       G+G      FF      C majorC
But you are all fo Hardorn, and not of Valdemar
C majorC           G+G     C majorC        G+G
You are not Rendale's people can call not on his throne
  FF     C majorC   D MajorD        FF    G+G    A minorAm
But damned if I will see you left so helpless on your own

  A minorAm        G+G      FF       A minorAm
So forth goes Herald Vanyel, and onward does he ride
  A minorAm         G+G   DmDm       G+G
On Stony Tor he waits then, Yfandes at his side
   A minorAm      G+G        DmDm        G+G
With Nedran's men approaching, he calls out from on high
  FF     A minorAm     G+G       FF     G+G    A minorAm
You shall not pass, Lord Nedran, nay I shall not let you by

  C majorC      D MajorD       C majorC         G+G
Now only Herald Vanyel stands blocking Nedran's way
  C majorC         G+G       FF        C majorC
Now who are you, fool nothing, that dares to tell me nay
  C majorC        G+G      C majorC         G+G
Now up speaks Herald Vanyel, his voice like brittle glass
  FF   C majorC      D MajorD        FF   G+G     A minorAm
The Herald Mage called Vanyel and says I you shall not pass

  A minorAm           G+G    FF        A minorAm
Now there stands great Lord Nedran, behind him forty men
   A minorAm         G+G    DmDm        G+G
With wizard there beside him, he pales and speaks again
  A minorAm       G+G      DmDm         G+G
So you are Herald Vanyel this place is not your land
  FF    A minorAm   G+G       FF  G+G     A minorAm
So heed me Herald Vanyel and now turn aside your hand

  A minorAm        G+G     FF        A minorAm
Let be I'll give you silver and I shall give you gold
  A minorAm        G+G            DmDm     G+G
And I shall give you jewels fair that sparkle bright and bold
  A minorAm        G+G      DmDm        G+G
And I shall give you pearls, all treasures of the sea
  FF       A minorAm  G+G      FF     G+G    A minorAm
If you will turn aside here leaving these poor fools to me

   C majorC       D MajorD      C majorC       G+G
What need have I of silver with sweet Yfandes here
  C majorC       G+G     FF          C majorC
And all the gold I cherish is sunlight bright and clear
  C majorC      G+G      C majorC         G+G
The only jewel I treasure's a bright and shining star
FF   C majorC    D MajorD         FF    G+G   A minorAm
I protect all helpless not just those of Valdemar

  A minorAm        G+G    FF        A minorAm
Now I shall give you beauty, women slaves and men
  A minorAm        G+G      DmDm      G+G
And I shall give you power you'll never see again
  A minorAm        G+G      DmDm        G+G
And I shall give you mansions and I shall give you land
  FF       A minorAm     G+G  FF     G+G    A minorAm
If you will turn aside this day, aside and hold you hand

  C majorC       D MajorD     C majorC       G+G
Now beauty held in bondage is beauty that is lost
  C majorC            G+G      FF        C majorC
And land and mansions blood bought come too high at the cost
  C majorC      G+G      C majorC     G+G
The power I have already, all power is a jade
  FF    C majorC     D MajorD      FF   G+G    A minorAm
So turn ye back Lord Nedran if of me you are afraid

   A minorAm        G+G       FF        A minorAm
Lord Nedran backs his stailion, his wizard he comes nigh
  A minorAm        G+G      DmDm        G+G
Prepare youself bold Vanyel, for you shall surely die
  A minorAm        G+G      DmDm    G+G
The wizard calls his demons, the demons he commands
  FF    A minorAm   G+G      FF   G+G   A minorAm
And Vanyel, Herald Vanyel only raises empty hands

  A minorAm        G+G      FF        A minorAm
The wizard calls his demons, the sky above turns black
  A minorAm        G+G     DmDm          G+G
The demons strike at Vanyel, he stands and holds them back
  A minorAm        G+G      DmDm         G+G
The demons strike at Vanyel, they strike and hurt him sore
  FF   A minorAm   G+G      FF     G+G     A minorAm
But Vanyel stands defiantly to raise his hands once more

  A minorAm     G+G         FF     A minorAm
The sky itself desends now, upon bare Stony Tor
  A minorAm       G+G      DmDm       G+G
Now hides the awful battle, the watchers see no more
  A minorAm        G+G      DmDm        G+G
The wizard shouts in triuph, too soon he vents his mirth
  FF   A minorAm    G+G         FF     G+G   A minorAm
For Vanyel calls the lightning down and smites him to the earth

  A minorAm          G+G     FF        A minorAm
The clouds of black have lifted and there on barren ground
    A minorAm        G+G      DmDm       G+G
Stands Vanyel, hurt yet victor, the demons tied and bound
  A minorAm         G+G      DmDm         G+G
He looks down at Lord Nedran, his eyes grow cold and bleak
  FF    A minorAm    G+G       FF     G+G  A minorAm
Now I shall give you Nedran all the power that you seek

A minorAm        G+G     FF          A minorAm
Vanyel frees the demons and Nedran screams with fear
  A minorAm        G+G      DmDm          G+G
He sets them on the Karsites who first had broght them here
  A minorAm        G+G      DmDm       G+G
He sets them on the Karsites and on the Karsite land
   FF     A minorAm   G+G        FF   G+G     A minorAm
They look down on Lord Nedran and they do not stay there hand

C majorC        D MajorD      C majorC         G+G
Vanyel calls the farmers, "Go tell you near and far"
  C majorC          G+G      FF     C majorC
How thus are served the tyrants who would take Valdemar
 C majorC       G+G       C majorC    G+G
I am the bane of demons, their quarry I defend
   FF   C majorC    D MajorD        FF   G+G   A minorAm
