Imperilled Kingdom by Days Of Yore
Imperilled Kingdom lyrics
"Ouch!", said Arbo through gritted teeth as the floor of his roomgreeted himback to his
original dimension.
Noticing the bed close by, he couldn't help questioning the spellcaster's precision
and he articulated some hardly elegant words.
As he got back to his feet, his bed caught his gaze once again.
The spell had considerably drained out his energy,
making himself an easy prey for sleep.
Night was falling and it was a blessing.
At least, he tought, the perfect control the elder exercised over time
compensated for his questionable precision regarding space.
Sinking into his bed, the prince let the sleep overcome him and this night,
strange visions haunted him as he walked the land of dreams.
I saw an angel come down from heaven,
having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent,
which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.
He cast him into the bottomless pit,
shut him up, set a seal upon him.
He should deceive the nations no more
till the thousand years fulfilled.
In this world is there any sword
that can extirpate evil once and forever?
In this world is there any weapon
that can restore peace in my imperilled kingdom?
When the thousand years expired,
a new evil arose from the pit and went out to deceive the nations.
And then came the prophesied one that faced
Satan in the name of the world and bound him for a thousand years.
He cast him into the bottomless pit,
shut him up, set a seal upon him.
He should deceive the nations no more
till the thousand years fulfilled.
In this world is there any sword
that can extirpate evil once and forever?
In this world is there any weapon
that can restore peace in my imperilled kingdom?
Now a new evil has arisen
to deceive the nations of the world and gather them to battle.
They will scatter on the breadth of the earth
and wage the war, fighting each other till that Satan is chained again.
I'll cast him into the bottomless pit,
shut him up, set a seal upon him.
He should deceive the nations no more
till brought back to life once more.
In this world is there any sword
that can extirpate evil once and forever?
In this world is there any weapon
that can restore peace in my imperilled kingdom?"
