The Necromancer Lyrics - Caress Of Steel - Rush

I. Into The Darkness 

As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky, 

the three travelers, men of Willowdale, 

emerge from the forest shadow. 

Fording the River Dawn, they turn south, journeying 

into the dark and forbidding lands of the Necromancer. 

Even now the intensity of his dread power can be felt, 

weakening the body and saddening the heart. 

Ultimately they will become empty, mindless spectres; 

stripped of will and soul, 

only their thirst for freedom 

gives them hunger for vengeance...

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Silence shrouds the forest 

As the birds announce the dawn 

Three travellers ford the river 

And southward journey on 

The road is lined with peril 

The air is charged with fear 

The shadow of his nearness 

Weighs like iron tears 

II. Under The Shadow 

Shreds of black cloud loom in overcast skies. 

The Necromancer keeps watch with his magic prism eyes. 

He views all his lands and is already aware 

of the three helpless invaders trapped in his lair... 

Photos 

Brooding in the tower 

Watching o'er his land 

Holding ev'ry creature 

Helplessly they stand 

Gaze into his prisms 

Knowing they are near 

Lead them to the dungeons 

Spectres numb with fear 

They bow defeated 

III. Return Of The Prince 

Enter the Champion. 

Prince By-Tor appears to battle for freedom 

from chains of long years. 

The spell has been broken; the Dark Lands are bright. 

The Wraith of the Necromancer soars away in the night. 

Stealthily attacking 

By-Tor slays his foe 

The men are free to run now 

From labyrinths below 

The Wraith of Necromancer 

Shadows through the sky 

Another land to darken 

With evil prism eye
