Lyrics:
Kor-Avul-Thaa... finest jewel in a crown of a realm of sublime Glory, greatest city in the Middle Kingdoms, mayhap all the world... Its splendid walls of shimmering crystal could be seen from a hundred Leagues distant, kissed by the golden rays of the sun, or caressed by The ethereal fingers of a midnight moon. it's magnificent spires and Citadels, built by generations of kings from the resplendent gifts Hewn from the ancient bosom of the sacred Crystal Mountains, had oft' Times been the bitter envy of rival emperors, and many were the sieges Wich Kor-Avul-Thaa had withstood and repulsed over the centuries, for Powerful sorcerers did weave great spells of protection about the Dazzling towers, and none may have passed unbidden through the vast Sapphirean gates of mighty Kor-Avul-Thaa... (FROM THE JOURNALS OF SAGE DAELUN) THE ORACLE OF KOR-AVUL-THAA: The sky rent asunder... Black-winged devils surge forth from the void... A maelstrom of crimson fire burns above us... What carnage has thou wrought? Not sword, ballistae, nor burning brand Could e'er these walls aspire to breach, Yet now the city's fall is nigh, As elder rites black fiends unleash. HIGH LORD OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF DARK ELUCIDATION (KEEPERS OF FORBIDDEN BOOKS OF THE FIRST CATACLYSM): By Klatrymadon and Zuranthus, such ancient secrets We discovered within these sinistrous, worm-worn pages, Etched with darksome glyphs and sigils, bound with fearsome Spells, An eldritch tide of stygian sorceries unfettered By the forbidden Tome of Shadows... Now thunderous cataclysm befalls the gleaming Kor-Avul-Thaa (The mystic gate stands open!) The Xytaxehedron held to the stars... The incantation uttered with eager tongues... (What long-shackled powers of the elder dark Have our conjurings loosed?) By Klatrymadon and Zuranthus, The vortex blackens the stars above, A vast plague of amorphous horrors Descends to rend with fang and talon, (As with torrents of blood the crystalline walls run red?) And in the glooming chambers of our shadowed sanctum, We wait, half-mad with terror, To reap the slaughterous harvest which we have sown... THE CHRONICLER OF THE CATACLYSM: And beyond the vortex, the churning black waters of the void did Disgorge the Dwellers in Eternal Shadow, And upon a horde of winged Horrors, brandishing swords of ebon flame, they rode out from the Gate... And a terrible silence fell upon Kor-Avul-Thaa... THE ECHOES OF THE ORACLE: The sky rent asunder, Black winged devils surge forth from the void... A maelstrom of crimson fire burns above us... What carnage has thou wrought? THE CHRONICLER OF THE CATACLYSM: ??? And the darkling lords did descend upon Kor-Avul-Thaa To claim their splendid prize, And enthrone themselves within the glittering walls... THE ECHOES OF THE ORACLE: Not sword, ballistae, nor burning brand Could e'er these walls aspire to breach, Yet now the city's fall is nigh, As elder rites black fiends unleash... THE BROTHERHOOD: By Klatrymadon and Zuranthus, In Kor-Avuk-Thaa, darkness reigns eternal... Nevermore shall the city glimmer, For now the crystalline walls gleam black... Ever black... And so it was that the bedazzling and splendid Kor-Avul-Thaa did Become the City of Shadows, a sinister fortress of elder fiends and Fearsome beasts, unleashed by the meddlings of mortals aspiring to Dark thresholds of forbidden knowledge and arcane powe r, a nightmare City shunned and feared by all. And not since the sinking of Atlantis Was the fall of a realm so sorely lamented... (FROM THE JOURNALS OF SAGE DAELUN)
