The Messenger

In the light of the moon you run
Through dim forests and misty moors
Across the ponds with a message of war
And this message must reach its destination far away
In the distant lands you knew as home

The enemy is after you, like bloodhounds on the track
There is no time to stop or rest or you'll get caught by certain death

The Messenger - An unsung hero dashing through the night
The Messenger - Fate of the kingdom hangs heavy on your back

Great armies march behind you
Their path set for destruction
Sinister clash of iron echoes through to nightskies
Like a funerary bell tolling your demise
Time is running short, cold sweat runs down your back

Branches lash at you, without warning from the dark
Like fingers of evil entities reaching for your throat

"Lost in the endless night now are you?
Careful not to lose yourself
There are forces here that you cannot comprehend
Why won't you stop and listen?
It might save your life
"

The chilling voice is all around you
A ghastly presence moves amongst the trees
The forces of evil are after your soul
Playing deceitful tricks on your mind

Intense is the sense of doom
Closing in slowly above you
But without hesitation you keep the pace
And the secret knowledge that you bear
Drags you down towards the ground
It has to be delivered to the emperors

You know you must go on
Not give in to the fatigue
Or else the looming darkness shall swallow you
