Forever of the Stars:
At last! You enter the Electric Castle! Here, in this vast hall, where
Even shadows fear the light. Here, you must confront your past
If you have killed, beware the Gathering of Spirits
For they do fish for men. Here, the disembodied Astral World
Becomes flesh once more. I pity the men of swords
For here, blood runs cold...
BARBARIAN:
Cries from the grave resound in my ears...
They hail from beyond my darkest fears...
Faces of the past are etched in my brain...
The women I raped, the men I've slain!
Shades of the dead are sliding on the wall!
Demons dance in the castle hall...
KNIGHT:
I call upon the sword, the mighty Excalibur
Grant me the skill to fulfill my quest!
I call upon my king, the knights of the table round
Grant me the courage to stand to this test!
I call upon the seer, Merlin the sorcerer
Grant me the magic to end my pain!
I call upon the spirit that lives in the noble heart
Grant the passion that will fill my veins
Shades of the dead are sliding on the wall!
Demons dance in the castle hall...
BARBARIAN:
Cries from the grave resound in my ears...
They hail from beyond my darkest fears...
KNIGHT: I call upon the seer, Merlin the sorcerer
BARBARIAN: (Faces of the past are etched in my brain...)
KNIGHT: Grant me the magic to end my pain!
KNIGHT: I call upon the spirit that lives in the noble heart
BARBARIAN: (The women I raped, the men I've slain!)
KNIGHT: Grant the passion that will fill my veins
BOTH:
Shades of the dead are sliding on the wall!
Demons dance in the castle hall...
