Days Of Yore Imperilled Kingdom Lyrics

Imperilled Kingdom Lyrics


"Ouch!", said Arbo through gritted teeth as the floor of his roomgreeted
himback to his 
original dimension. 
Noticing the bed close by, he
couldn't help questioning the spellcaster's precision 
and he articulated
some hardly elegant words. 
As he got back to his feet, his bed caught his
gaze once again. 
The spell had considerably drained out his energy,

making himself an easy prey for sleep. 
Night was falling and it was a
blessing. 
At least, he tought, the perfect control the elder exercised over
time 
compensated for his questionable precision regarding space. 
Sinking
into his bed, the prince let the sleep overcome him and this night, 
strange
visions haunted him as he walked the land of dreams.

I saw an angel come
down from heaven, 
having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in
his hand. 
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, 
which is
the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.


He cast him
into the bottomless pit, 
shut him up, set a seal upon him. 
He should
deceive the nations no more 
till the thousand years fulfilled.

In
this world is there any sword 
that can extirpate evil once and forever?

In this world is there any weapon 
that can restore peace in my
imperilled kingdom?

When the thousand years expired, 
a new evil
arose from the pit and went out to deceive the nations. 
And then came the
prophesied one that faced 
Satan in the name of the world and bound him for
a thousand years.

He cast him into the bottomless pit, 
shut him up,
set a seal upon him. 
He should deceive the nations no more 
till the
thousand years fulfilled.

In this world is there any sword 
that can
extirpate evil once and forever? 
In this world is there any weapon 
that
can restore peace in my imperilled kingdom?

Now a new evil has arisen

to deceive the nations of the world and gather them to battle. 
They
will scatter on the breadth of the earth 
and wage the war, fighting each
other till that Satan is chained again.

I'll cast him into the
bottomless pit, 
shut him up, set a seal upon him. 
He should deceive the
nations no more 
till brought back to life once more.

In this world is
there any sword 
that can extirpate evil once and forever? 
In this world
is there any weapon 
that can restore peace in my imperilled kingdom?"
