The War Within

Two generals from opposing sides
The look of pure disgust written on their faces
The time draws near let chaos reign
Charge the battlefield never to be the same
The clash of steel a call to arms
We lead the charge
A severed mind echoes of war
This was not our struggle
We were lead to believe this is the only way
It was killed or be killed and we followed blindly
Like sheep lead to the slaughter
Our people were gutted and left on display
It’s time to take back what is ours we border on extinction
Drive the sword back into the hearts of all those whose oppose us
Now’s the time to intervene
This has become the war within
This has become the war within
In the valley of shade we reign supreme
Striving to the fill the void in the realm of dreams
Bring forth the warrior
A name forever cursed
Damned to live in solitude
Locked away to hide the truth
Two generals from opposing sides
The look of pure disgust written on their faces
The time draws near let chaos reign
Charge the battlefield never to be the same
The clash of steel a call to arms
Bring forth the warrior
A name forever cursed
Damned to live in solitude
Locked away to hide the truth

The Huntress

Searching the ruins for the target at hand
To collect or bounty we're being followed
Movement catches my eye as i continue my pursuit throughout the maze
She strikes from the shadow leading me astray in an attempt to delay me
She's come to claim me press on we need this captive
Hiding behind the rubble waiting for my chance to strike
All this back and forth i need to disengage plan my next move
How did she know me so well as if she’s been studying me for a while?
I have to find out
Facing the winds of the bitter north heavy snowfall
Limited visibility seeking out the bandits hideout
Arrows they rain down from above everyone take cover
We’ve been sold out they knew we were coming
Take up arms and fight show no mercy
Hack n slash fight your way through the crowd
Burn it all down to the ground leave no survivors
Down on your knees
How do you feel now that your life will end?
For your crimes against humanity
Any last words you'd like to say before i strike you down for all to see
Using the crowd as her cover she strikes from afar
A silent attack from a well-drawn bow aims to protect
Or put me to death she is relentless
She will never give up
I need to know
Who gave the orders to kill my life is on the line
I need answers speak give me a name
I know your death will be mine
The closer I come to finding out the worse things will get for you
Things will become worse for you

Oh how I suffer on the inside
Wondering where you've gone
This connection buried deep
What happened to our bond?
Losing track of time
As months pass us by
Still I'm lost and confused
Seeing visions from
From our past
Moments reappear here and there
If only you could confess to all of your lies
We could've been at the Iron Gates
Waiting to take on the damned
But instead you were nowhere in sight
Alone to stand and fight
No chance to defend against the advance
Let’s meet up in the halls of the dead
Times running out we need a plan
To bring about a means to an end
You cannot contain this wretched plague
It spills unto the land to claim the souls of man
Damn your selfish pride
You knew what was at stake
The loss of so many lives
Because of your mistakes
We buried men we couldn't afford to lose
And arrogance cost everything in the war
As we stand on these shores of this broken land
We will defy the odds once again
Moments reappear here and there
If only you could confess to all of your lies
We could've been at the Iron Gates
Waiting to take on the damned
But instead you were nowhere in sight
Alone to stand alone to fight
You were my family you were my flesh and blood how could you?
No chance to defend against the advance
Let’s meet up in the halls of the dead
Times running out we need a plan
To bring about a means to an end
My family my flesh and blood how, how could you?
How, how could you?
How could you?

Watch your step this cavern is laden with traps
We must not lose focus on why we're here
Archers take cover I'll draw there fire run when the coast is clear
Brothers be quiet rock golems
We need a distraction to pull the lever
And open the door open the door
Their level of awareness is uncanny
Make an evasion check
Special ability activated, push all adjacent enemies back two spaces
Move towards the exit run for your lives
As the door closes trapping us in this cavern
Surrounded by darkness someone light the torches
We’ve entered the throne room seize and protect the relic
Legions of undead marching towards us
The throne in the distance pick up your sword and shield
Fight for Valhalla
Form a shield wall watch out for archers
Stay close together we cannot die
Back to back move as a unit
Towards the throne we must not perish
Before we finish before we finish the job
