Pale Prince Of The Ruins lyrics

Here I stand amongst the ruins

Skin as white as snow in a wolflike face

Red eyes observing

The remains of my once ruling race

I am the Pale Prince of the Fallen

Feeble monarch in a dying age

I am the one to watch it falter

And to remain last actor on the stage



I'm trapped in the eternal struggle

Between the powers of Dark and Light

Sworn to my saviour and my Nemesis

The hellforged runeblade by my side

I am the mightiest of all mortals

But still a puppet in the play

I'm doomed to have no friends, just sorrow

Those I once had my sword has slain



I'm standing at the Dreaming City's gates

Watch the havoc wreaked by me

A piece of art, millenia old

In just a blink of time it has ceased to be

In endless sleep my loved one lies

I curse the dark gods for my bitter fate

The only one life was worth to live for

Has just perished on my hungry blade



They call me the Eternal Hero

But I don't know for whom I fight

Am I a follower of Chaos

Or do I strive for Order's light?



Stormbringer, the widowmaker

Black bladed sword of malignant greed

Devours the souls of my enemies

But those of friends are so much sweeter

Bound by it's powers to grant me strength

I raise it to the careless sky

The gods of Chaos reel in mocking laughter

As they hear my final battlecry



Arioch - Mighty Knight of the Sword

Arioch - Blood and souls for my Lord

Arioch - Born your servant to be

Arioch - And your worst enemy



Chaos had come down upon the earth

By foul Pan-Tangian sorcery

Forests burn, proud cities crumble

Whole kingdoms fall to drown in boiling seas

Amongst the mayhem stands the sole survivor

Of the Melnibonean race

The gods my people served for aeons

Are the same gods I soon will have to face



On the warped landscapes of a dying world

Chaos and Order fight their final stand

I am the last amongst all mortals

Awaiting the time when time will end

My daemonsword ends the existence

Of god or mortal, foe or friend

Finally it shall drink it's last soul

To make mankind be born again
