Elexorien - The Serpent Strikes At Sunstone Hill Pt. I lyrics
rate me[Part I. Night Falls Upon The Golden Hill]<br />
<br />
A thousand years ago, before the majestic kingdom of Karan was overthrown by the armies of Chaos, one fortress remained undefeated.<br />
A bastion of hope, guided by strength and an iron will, and a symbol of perseverance of this once so glorious realm: Sunstone - the golden hill under the morning sun.<br />
If Sunstone would fall, all the splendour of Karan would fall to ruin and be forgotten in all ages the would follow.<br />
<br />
As the last day in the history of Karan slowly came to an end, the Serpent Army, Choas' elite forces, had finished preparations and was ready for an all out onslaught.<br />
A storm that would vanquish all remains of the Sunstone Keep and the last of Karan's brave people.<br />
<br />
[Prayers of war from the castle's keep]<br />
"The light shall shine<br />
We will arise<br />
Take heart, now fight<br />
Ride north this night"<br />
<br />
[Cries of despair arise from the city]<br />
"The Gods have forsaken us! <br />
Karan will kneel to Chaos and death, as the Serpent has been unleashed.<br />
Their horror bestowed upon our keep shall leave none alive.<br />
What carnage unfolds when the city is breached?<br />
<br />
Sunstone is lost, for our walls cannot hold.<br />
They shall be taken down and will crumble to dust as our guards are crushed by endless waves of Chaos' legions rushing relentlessly into the city.<br />
Of all of Karan's proud folk, we are the last ones to fall, vet fall we will...''<br />
<br />
... and the storm that rises takes the heart of many, yet the bravest and the boldest unite, determined to see another dawn for the kingdom of Karan.<br />
<br />
[The captain of the guard proudly rallies his men]<br />
"Guards of Sunstone, here we stand.<br />
A thousand men strong, awaiting the inevitable assault that will rock the foundations of the earth, watching over the woods below from our fortress proudly standing on top of this hill.<br />
Not once has this castle been taken, though many wars have been waged upon her walls, and a tenfold of sieges she has seen.<br />
The glory has always been in favour of us, our battles have brought naught but bitter defeat to our foes.<br />
Yet knowing that the forest will not reveal what spawns under her cloak, nor reveal the plans of the Serpent Army that lurk behind every fir and root... <br />
The foes of our keep, our glory and pride hidden well within, ready to strike.<br />
A winter moon concealed, darkest of all nights<br />
The serpent at our gates, we are abandoned from the light<br />
We remain vigilant, with the eyes of a hawk to watch over us We are the last of Karan.<br />
We will stand and fight, we will not yield to thy foe. To arms!"
