Gather, gather around, Hear me, hear my words Hear my story, for this happened many years ago My curiosity had put me on an ominous quest So sit back with a pint of ale and listen to my tale... Time went by, day and night I journeyed through the lands Led by my curiosity, my journey would lead me to the southern lands To the lands where no one goes the marshes where the rain ever falls thick grey clouds hide the light hide the dangers, hide the blight Gossip and rumor guide my way These words were carried on the wind: Where light is but a memory Where darkness rules below the trees Where none dare venture, where all is damned, Forsaken are the southern lands Where secrets lie beneath the ground Where evil sleeps, where death is found Speak to your gods if you believe For those who enter never leave Gossip and rumor guide my way My journey carries on The sky grew darker, I was near few souls ever thread here Over the hills, I could see Endless marches, and the last known settlement I entered the town of Mossrock Hoping to find Context or the meaning to these words, carried on the wind Where light is but a memory Where darkness rules below the trees Where none dare venture, where all is damned, Forsaken are the southern lands Where secrets lie beneath the ground Where evil rests, where death is found Speak to your gods if you believe For those who enter never leave

The sunlight in my face! so bright, I was surprised I thought that I, had died, but I defied my demise So here I am in an unknown room, My wounds were seen to, (but by whom) A man then entered, I turned to him. The man sat down and started to explain this is the village of Everrain We are descendants of the ancients he wore same red crest as the shaman when I got out it took a look around, in the floating town I found a friend, with answers at hand. the scholar's apprentice started to explain Cursed is the village of Everrain. blessed with survival, but never to be free again they wear the crimson sign of an ancient god As the legends go the kingdom, fell under the thorn of the swamp. many had fled it, but some stayed behind, surrendered, adapted to save their hides Bound by pact, in survitude To the will of their newfound god Work, pray, bleed, stray, they, serve, in survitude sleep, eat, suffer, bleed, cursed, slaves of their newfound god (they all) Work, pray, bleed, stray, they, all bleed in survitude sleep, eat, suffer, bleed, it is now clear to me pain, pain, torment, pain they, all, bleed In survitude bleed, bleed, suffer, bleed, it is now clear to me I have walked right into his domain! Damned is the village of Everrain somehow resisting, but slaves all the same. As we depart, the villagers speak of the dangers of our foe But no such warning I shall heed Onwards! To the swamp we go! Into the swamp we go! For the sake of the south!

Paralysis 04:49
I will not die today! Unsheathe my sword and I strike, The bard yet lives, the shaman dies. The tribe to arms, I run for my life As the wind I run through the swamp, the tribe on my heels Into the darkness The terror I feel I can hear the tribesmen closing in as I look back I run into a wall a wall of thorns They rend my flesh (it stings) the gash, IT IS INFECTED Can't go on (poison) SO STRONG, I spot a hollow tree and HIDE INSIDE I crawl out of the tree, I fall down, poison spreading The wound is festering, dripping with ooze Vision blurring Must get to safety and fast, where to go now I'll just start walking, wandering off Must stay awake Must get to safety I must find my way through the swamp Knees weak, survival On to me! Lost on to me! Strength is sapped away, Darkness takes my sight, My knees give in I will not survive
