The Black Mare Lyrics - Under The Grey Banner - Dragonland

["After spending a night among cheerful song and many a laughter at the Inn of Eamon Bayle, the Islander and the Elf woman, whose destinies were now closely entwined, set out to the east away from pursuing men and towards the glades of her people. Like a horse that great elven kings would mount before men had not yet named a chieftain, the black mare now carried them in restless flight across the Southland Dales"] 

Crack of thunder, sound of rain across the endless fields 

as we speed towards the night upon a steed that never yields 

Black as the night, swift as the wind and eyes of emerald green 

In restless flight our journey takes us further east 

The seventh day we reach the west trail 

through the Nethermoor 

guides us through the mist 

Across the river past the grey stones of 

Ne'anthor, stars shine our way 

Journey into far away 

and to forgotten lands 

and here by my side 

she will ride there with me 

To the home of her kind 

I see creatures from old stories I thought make believe 

Crawling in the shades with thousand eyes they gaze upon me 

She lifts her head up like she senses unseen enemies 

In the black of night a shadow watches over me 

On the second moon we set out east for Val'inthor 

Where her kindred dwell 

We pass the mighty ruined citadels of ancient lore 

The moon lights our way 

Journey into far away 

and to forgotten lands 

and here by my side 

she will ride there with me 

To the home of her kind 

[Solo: Mrck] 

[Solo: Holmlid] 

Ghostly specters, faded wanderers that gone before 

reveals the passage through the river to the northern shore 

Something dwells within the dark I sense we're not alone 

though I know it cannot pass beyond the warding stones 

before the break of fall we stand before the sacred realm 

where her kindred dwell 

we make camp in crumbling temples by the raging ford 

light shine our way 

Journey into far away 

and to forgotten lands 

and here by my side 

she will ride there with me 

She's the queen of her kind
