Marching towards our battlefield
Our banners flying high in the wind
We mount on our glorious steeds
The evening's lass still fresh in our minds
We carry on today
We bring our steel to the emperor, he'll pay
Fighting onward we ride into the morning sun
Battle on into the raging sea of steel, the quest carries on
The dragons shall fly... again
We try to forget why were here
The pain and the anguish we choose not to feel
the scars on our face, a story to tell
A flagon of ale would bring peace from this hell.
We carry on today
We bring our steel to the emperor, he'll pay
CHORUS
Sword and axe
Blood on shields
For our glory
We'll never yield
SOLO
Our fate is in our hands
Mystical armor inspiring command

In devil-haunted Cheliax
On forgotten streets of Westcrown
From shadow to shadow
She moves without a sound
There's another contract out
Another man must die
No time for politics
Or ever asking "why?"
The legend of the darkness
The shimmer in candlelight
The blade that strikes the heart of
Fear into the night
She's watching out forever
For a moment to strike you down
She'll spill that royal blood
Increasing her renown
On the cobblestones
Of forgotten alleyways
The city seems to mourn
For the past, and better days
But the velvet dark
It suits her purpose fine
Gives her confidence
And clouds enemies' minds
[chorus]
Believer, deceiver, she tries to cover up her tracks
Whispering, deterring, her opponents' minds are weak
Now, tonight,
I kept my word
Will you do the same?
I swear
Contracts fulfilled
on the edge of my blade
Shadow to shadow
Blood to blood
Shadow to shadow
Avoid the coming flood

Chaotic Evil Outsider

So here I am
Passed all the tests
Come to study
At the feet of Nethys
God of magic
God of the arcane
Keeper of secret lore
Both sacred and profane
"Come with me, my son."
The headmaster says
"Such things await you here;
Ancient eldritch secrets."
At all the books around
I gazed eagerly
Spellbooks, grimoires
and bestiaries
(Now, mortal, did you think it would be easy?)
Never
Did I think it would end with this
Now so much I regret
Failure
The price paid for negligence
I am trapped here
So here I am
Passing all the tests
In my class
I am the very best
I earned myself the right
I was allowed
A solo summoning
I was so proud
"Come with me my son"
Professor says to me
"You must select a creature
whose mind is weak
so you can conquer it
by will alone."
But my foolish pride
Cost me my soul
[chorus]
(Now, mortal, you are me, I; you, you wagered all, and you lost!)
So here I am
I failed the test
Trapped in limbo
Lost and bodiless
No one can help me now
I have no form
I cannot talk
I am so alone
The demon came
When I summoned it
Stronger than
I ever imagined
If you study magic
Put aside your pride
The price for failure
You'll wish you could die.
