Esus2   Em          C              G  D/F#    Em
'As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky
Em                                  Esus2
The three travellers, men of Willowdale
Esus2   Em
Emerge from the forest shadow
C                  G    D/F#      Em
Fording the River Don, they turn south, journeying
Em                                              Esus2
Into the dark and forbidding lands of the Necromancer
     Em             C               G    D/F#    Em
Even now the intensity of his dread power can be felt
Em                                      Esus2
Weakening the body and saddening the heart
Em                          C      G        D/F#   Em
Ultimately they will become empty, mindless spectres...
Em           Esus2
Stripped of will and soul,
Em                                       C          G   D/F#   Em
Only their thirst for freedom gives them hunger for vengeance...'
Em  C  G   D/F#   Em    x2
Em  Esus2  Em  C  G  D/F#  Em  x4

Verse 1:
Em              Esus2 Em Esus2
Silence shrouds the   forest
                 C    G      D/F#  Em
As the birds announce the dawn
Em                       Esus2 Em Esus2
Three trav'llers ford the river
                      C  G  D/F#  Em
And southward journey on
Em
The road is lined with peril
                        C   G  D/F#  Em
The air is charged with fear
Em
The shadow of his nearness
                 C   G  D/F#  Em
Weighs like iron tears

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


Instrumental:
Em  Em7  Em Em  Em  Em7  Em  Em7  x4


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

Prince By-Tor appears to battle for freedom from chains of long years
    E               B            A             B
The spell has been broken...the Dark Lands are bright

The Wraith of the Necromancer soars
            B
Away in the night.'

Stealthily attacking

By-Tor slays his foe
E           B     A     B
The men are free to run now
E          B   A   B
From labyrinths below
E                B   A   B
The Wraith of Necromancer
E           B   A   B
Shadows through the sky
E          B   A   B
Another land to darken
E          B   A   B
With evil prism eye


Outro:
E  B   A   B
