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

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


Instrumental:
Em Esus2 Em C G D/F# Em  x4

'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

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

With evil prism eye
