Esus2Esus2  E minorEm     C majorC       G+G D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
'As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky
E minorEm                 Esus2Esus2
The three travellers, men of Willowdale
Esus2Esus2  E minorEm
Emerge from the forest shadow
C majorC         G+G  D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
Fording the River Don, they turn south, journeying
E minorEm                       Esus2Esus2
Into the dark and forbidding lands of the Necromancer
   E minorEm       C majorC        G+G  D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Even now the intensity of his dread power can be felt
E minorEm                   Esus2Esus2
Weakening the body and saddening the heart
E minorEm             C majorC   G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Ultimately they will become empty, mindless spectres...
E minorEm      Esus2Esus2
Stripped of will and soul,
E minorEm                    C majorC     G+G  D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Only their thirst for freedom gives them hunger for vengeance...'

Verse 1:
E minorEm       Esus2Esus2 E minorEm Esus2Esus2
Silence shrouds the  forest
         C majorC  G+G   D/F#D/F# E minorEm
As the birds announce the dawn
E minorEm            Esus2Esus2 E minorEm Esus2Esus2
Three trav'llers ford the river
           C majorC G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
And southward journey on
E minorEm
The road is lined with peril
            C majorC  G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
The air is charged with fear
E minorEm
The shadow of his nearness
         C majorC  G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
Weighs like iron tears

Interlude:
E minorEm
'Shreds of black cloud loom in overcast skies
E minorEm
The Necromancer keeps watch with his magic prism eyes
E minorEm
He views all his lands and is already aware of the three helpless invaders
E minorEm
Trapped in his lair...'

Verse 2:
E minorEm  E minor 7Em7 E minorEm Em
Brooding in the tower
E minorEm  E minor 7Em7 E minorEm   E minor 7Em7
Watching o'er his land
E minorEm  E minor 7Em7 E minorEm E minorEm
Holding ev'ry creature
E minorEm  E minor 7Em7 E minorEm   E minor 7Em7
Helplessly they stand
E minorEm  E minor 7Em7 E minorEm  E minorEm
Gaze into his prisms
E minorEm  E minor 7Em7 E minorEm   E minor 7Em7
Knowing they are near
E minorEm  E minor 7Em7 E minorEm  E minorEm
Lead them to the dungeons
E minorEm  E minor 7Em7 E minorEm    E minor 7Em7
Spectres numb with fear
      E minorEm  E minor 7Em7 E minorEm E minorEm Em E minor 7Em7 E minorEm E minor 7Em7
They bow defeated

Away in the night.'

From labyrinths below

The Wraith of Necromancer
E MajorE      BB  A augmentedA  BB
Shadows through the sky

Another land to darken
E MajorE     BB  A augmentedA  BB
With evil prism eye


Outro:
