[00:25:00]I. into darkness
[00:27:00]As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky, the three
[00:33:00]Travelers, men of willow dale, emerge from the forest
[00:37:00]Shadow. fording the river dawn, they turn south,
[00:42:00]Journeying into the dark and forbidding lands of the
[00:45:00]Necromancer. even now the intensity of his dread power
[00:51:00]Can be felt, weakening the body and saddening the heart.
[00:58:00]Ultimately they will become empty, mindless spectres,
[01:03:00]Stripped of will and soul. only their thirst for freedom
[01:09:00]Gives them hunger for vengeance...
[02:23:00]Silence shrouds the forest
[02:28:00]As the birds announce the dawn
[02:33:00]Three trav'llers ford the river
[02:38:00]And southward journey on
[02:43:00]The road is lined with peril
[02:48:00]The air is charged with fear
[02:53:00]The shadow of his nearness
[02:58:00]Weighs like iron tears
[03:00:00]Ii. under the shadow
[03:50:00]Shreds of black cloud loom in overcast skies. the
[03:55:00]Necromancer keeps watch with his magic prism eyes. he
[04:01:00]Views all his lands and is already aware of the three
[04:06:00]Helpless invaders trapped in his lair...
[04:51:00]Brooding in the tower
[04:54:00]Watching o'er his land
[04:57:00]Holding ev'ry creature
[05:00:00]Helplessly they stand
[05:03:00]Gaze into his prisms
[05:06:00]Knowing they are near
[05:10:00]Lead them to the dungeons
[05:13:00]Spectres numb with fear
[05:16:00]They bow defeated
[07:06:00]Iii. return of the prince
[09:02:00]Enter the champion.
[09:05:00]Prince by-tor appears to battle for freedom from chains
[09:11:00]Of long years. the spell has been broken...the dark lands
[09:15:00]Are bright, the wraith of the necromancer soars away...in
[09:20:00]The night.

[10:12:00]The wraith of necromancer
[10:16:00]Shadows through the sky
[10:21:00]Another land to darken
[10:25:00]With evil prism eye...
