FIERCE LIGHTNING STRIKES FROM THE SKIES

THUNDER BREAKS IN APPROACHING STORMS

FROM THE ALMIGHTY DARK

BLACK HORDES GATHER FROM THE NORTH

RIDING FORTH ON NIGHTMARE STEEDS

WITH HOOFS OF FLAME AND EYES OF RED

THE STARS ARE HIDDEN BY MENACINGLY DARK CLOUDS,

BUT THE MOON SHINES BRIGHT

ON GLEAMING BLACK ARMOR

AND WEAPONS OF WAR POISED FOR BATTLE

THE ANCIENT SIGN OF THE DARK CRUSADES IS RISEN ABOVE

ON A BANNER OF BLACK FOR ALL TO SEE

A SYMBOL OF HATRED AND VICTORY TO COME

DARK HORNS RESOUND THE SOUND FOR ALL TO ATTACK

THE DARK MINIONS MEET THEIR FOES

IN DESOLATE FIELDS AND ON FROZEN PLAINS

A DARK FORCE CHARGING INTO THE BLINDING WHITE LIGHT

EMANATING FROM THEIR ENEMIES TO EXTINGUISH IT FOREVER

POOLS OF BLOOD TAINT THE MOON

A FEARSOME SHADE OF CRIMSON RED

CONSECRATING THESE MIGHTY REALMS IN UNHOLY DARKNESS

NONE SHALL SURVIVE AS THE DARK CRUSADERS RIDE AGAIN

FOREVER SPREADING ETERNAL WAR



[LYRICS: IXITHRA, LORD OF THE SYLVAN SHADOWS]
