Album: The Curse Of Twisted Tower (1999)

Hail Dark Rider

Born was he on the shore of Hades, robed in a brimstone firestorm
Dark angels gather in stygian wonder, in awe of the chosen one
Rising up in meridian splendor, his bequest found carved in stone
In a temple older than evil, the prophecy has now begun

Hail Dark Rider - lord of fire and flame
You were born to storm the gates of hell
To end the False One's reign
Heed my warning our maledictions on your name
Keep the legions beyond the Styx, on Earth you have no place
But just how long will it be before he comes for me
He's doomed if he comes for me

Cresting on a far horizon, plotting his attack
His scarlet armor shines with light broadsword on his back,
his hand did fall, the charge begins, the sentries first to scream
Ten thousand stallions poured into the inner walls of Avernus

Hail Dark Rider - lord of fire and flame
You were born to storm the gates of hell
To end the False One's reign
Heed my warning our maledictions on your name
Keep the legions beyond the Styx, on Earth you have no place
But just how long will it be before he comes for me
He's doomed if he comes for me

Chaos rampant all around, a demon war at hand
All the damned souls trapped below, join the ranks to make their stand
Your father looks you in the face, his empire the reward
With a sound unknown to ears, he runs upon your sword

Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!

Shouts of victory now echo through the halls of hell
The severed head of Satan held aloft for all to see

We align at the border to guard our Earthly domain
My forces prepare to meet their fate
All as one a warrior's prayer, will this be our final day

His gaze now turns to me, shall he try to conquer
We both turn and ride away

Until we meet again...Hail Dark Rider!
