01. The Seven Ancient Artefacts

Solo by Daniel Carpenter

Narrator:

“Darkened days and darkened nights

A world in terror, no end in sight

The Ancient God still showed some light

In these darkened days and darkened nights.”

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

We had searched for days, and it could not be found

But as we got closer, we felt in the ground

Prince Ferago (Alessio Garavello):

The earth was trembling, and the mountains shook

And there it was, a big black book

Merath (Anders Sköld):

The black book was ancient, and then we could see

An original script of the prophecy

Mandelek (Elisa Martin):

In silence we stood there gasping for air

The truth was revealed, now all became clear

We are searching for the seven

One day we'll find them all

And, the darkness that surrounds us

Soon will face its fall

Prince Ferago (Alessio Garavello)

When the sword was retrieved from the dark mountain caves

Our journey had just begun

Merath (Jonas Heidgert):

Seven in number, the legend foretold

And the Crystal Sword was one

We are searching for the seven

One day we'll find them all

And, the darkness that surrounds us

Soon will face its fall

Angel of Hope (Alessandro Conti):

We’re on a journey to find

the six remaining artefacts

It’s the last hope for mankind

And we’ve never left that will to fight behind

02. Journey To the North

Solo by Ronni Le Tekrø

I was born for glory and they will die by my hand

For thousands of years they’ve been roaming this land

I’ll continue to fight until my last breath is drawn

For the sake of my people, I will stay strong

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

Evil is lurking in the shadows of this land

Mythical creatures never seen by man

Stories been told about what is roaming here at night

In the deep woods of Engaldar there is no sign of light

Arigo the Wise (Raphael Mendes):

The mist is creeping up around my feet

All I can hear is the rhythm of my heartbeat

The wind is whispering of a threat not far behind

Or is it just the darkness that playing with my mind?

I was born for glory and they will die by my hand

For thousands of years they’ve been roaming this land

I’ll continue to fight until my last breath is drawn

For the sake of my people, I will stay strong

Merath (Jonas Heidgert):

Arigo the Wise, we need your magic now

The creatures are coming, but we will live somehow

Mandelek (Elisa Martin):

Let us fight together and not give in

Blood will flow, let the carnage begin

I was born for glory and they will die by my hand

For thousands of years they’ve been roaming this land

I’ll continue to fight until my last breath is drawn

For the sake of my people, I will stay strong

“As we were promised back in the Temple of the Ancient God, the black book contained a detailed map over the Seven Ancient Artefacts. Without the magic weapons in our hands we will stand no chance against the Dark Lord in the final battle. Our journey will be dangerous, but it is our only hope.”

03. The Ballad of Arnoth the Wild

Solo by Tim Hansen

Solo by Richard Fortus

The Storyteller (Mathias Blad):

Far across the ocean and into the great unknown

That is where Sir Arnoth fled to wander all alone

Early in his life he was a well-respected soldier

Served his country to the end, he was a true warrior

Carry on, carry on, dear Arnoth

You’re not the one to blame

We need you now more than ever

Do not feel guilt and shame

Carry on, carry on, dear Arnoth

Forever we’ll know your name

Protector of the magic spear

The keeper of the flame

King Thorgan got him knighted, the best day of his life

That’s when he received the gift, an ancient magic knife

He got the blade melted into his trusted spear

On the battlefield he was unbeatable, or so it would appear

Carry on, carry on, dear Arnoth

You’re not the one to blame

We need you now more than ever

Do not feel guilt and shame

Carry on, carry on, dear Arnoth

Forever we’ll know your name

Protector of the magic spear

The keeper of the flame

Angel of Hope (Alessandro Conti):

One day he fought side by side with his beloved friend

The one who got him knighted, King Thorgan met his end

Sir Arnoth blamed himself, and he could never let it go

So, he ran away, so far away, those many years ago

Carry on, carry on, dear Arnoth

You’re not the one to blame

We need you now more than ever

Do not feel guilt and shame

Carry on, carry on, dear Arnoth

Forever we’ll know your name

Protector of the magic spear

The keeper of the flame

The Storyteller (Mathias Blad):

Arriving at his island we’re met with a gruesome sight

In the corner of his cabin we see the former knight

A shadow of his former self, he sits there all alone

With spear in hand, his treasured gift, all left is skin and bone

04. The Mines of Eloroth

Solo by Christian Münzer

Solo by Bill Hudson

«Tired, but alive, the people of Valley Doom finally arrive in Eloroth. The Kingdom of the Dwarves.

Deep down in the Mines of Eloroth lies the legendary Hammer of Halgard. Hidden and locked away in one of the many treasure chambers from a long-forgotten time when the Dwarves of the North lived there. Now the mines are inhabited by some of the most evil creatures of the realm. The Dwarves fled and started a new life outside of the mines.”

Prince Ferago (Alessio Garavello):

We’ve come all this way to your mighty land

To tell of a threat and you must understand

That the world as we know will soon be gone

But if we stand together, we will see another dawn

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

Darkness is coming our way

All good will fade away

We cannot let that happen

So, join us today

Long have we waited and now is the time

We’re returning to the Eloroth mines

For six hundred years our people have bled

All who have entered have never come back

Dwarf King (Marco Pastorino):

The news has spread fast and your struggles are great

We’re aware of that we cannot sit and wait

For the Dark Lord to be at our door

We will stand together like our fathers before

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

Darkness is coming our way

All good will fade away

We cannot let that happen

So, join us today

Long have we waited and now is the time

We’re returning to the Eloroth mines

For six hundred years our people have bled

All who have entered have never come back

“By attacking the Mines of Eloroth, the word might spread to the south. And if we are lucky, field commander Lord Cremortius will take the bait and bring his army up here to fight us. The Ancient God told us that he is the wielder of the legendary Battle Axe. One of the seven ancient artefacts!”

05. The Battle For Eloroth

Solo by Arjen Lucassen

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

Marching into battle like brothers side by side

Time to bring back former glories and soon we’ll turn the tide

Angel of Hope (Alessandro Conti):

See the evil creatures swarming everywhere

Now that we have infiltrated their sacred lair

Arigo the Wise (Raphael Mendes):

Forces are pulling me towards this giant door

That must be where the hammer lies, that is all I’m begging for

Angel of Hope (Alessandro Conti):

A beast is charging at us and then it tries to bite

Eunotrian draws his Crystal Sword, the blade thirsts for a fight

The battle rages on far into the caves

Dark Lord’s men will not prevail

We‘re taking back the crown, now it all comes down

We will never be their slaves

The reign of terror is at its end

The Goblin King (Melissa Bonny):

No, you will never take the Hammer from me

You’re forever doomed to a life in misery

I will die before you come through this door

We drove you out of here once before

Arigo the Wise (Raphael Mendes):

A fatal miss from the angry beast and the sword cuts deep

Blood paints walls and floor today, in chaos death will creep

King of the Dwarves (Marco Pastorino):

Arigo then calls my name, there is something I must see

And there it is the mighty hammer right in front of me

The battle rages on far into the caves

Dark Lord’s men will not prevail

We‘re taking back the crown, now it all comes down

We will never be their slaves

The reign of terror is at its end

06. March Into the Storm

Solo by Timo Somers

“The Mines of Eloroth are finally back in the hands of the dwarves, but there is no time for celebration yet. Darkness still rules the land and a huge army is spotted on its way to the capital of Eloroth. It seems like Lord Cremortius took the bait! Although it is a heavily fortified city, the forces from the south are determined to attack.”

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

Far too many years have gone by

Looking up at the blood red sky

A new day will dawn upon us all

Warriors hear my call

Lord Cremortius (Bernt Fjellestad):

Fire will be spread across this land

Soldiers, follow my command

Destroy everything in your path

Today they will feel our wrath

Lord Cremortius (Bernt Fjellestad):

Your world is now coming to an end

Too late to protect your land

My army will terminate you all

Time has come to face your fall

We march into the storm, the march of revenge

We march into the storm, the march of revenge

Mandelek (Elisa Martin):

Fire will light up the sky tonight

You won’t take us down without a fight

When we meet this darkness, we’ll stay brave

That’s an honour I will take to my grave

We march into the storm, the march of revenge

We march into the storm, the march of revenge

Lord Cremortius (Bernt Fjellestad):

Release all your hatred, war shall begin

Break down the walls, soon we will win

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen) + Mandelek (Elisa Martin):

Heroes of men, let me hear you sing

When bells of freedom ring

Choir:

Warrior King

Warrior King

We march into the storm, the march of revenge

We march into the storm, the march of revenge

07. The Bane of Lord Cremortius

Solo by Tommy Johansson

Solo by Samuel Lundström

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

There is silence in the air

On a morning bright and clear

I close my eyes trying not to scream

Is this real, or is it just a dream?

Arigo the Wise (Raphael Mendes):

In the distance, mournful cries

Is this the day I’m going to die?

A shadowed figure grabs a hold of me

My eyes are blurry, so I cannot see

God of War (Tommy Johansson):

Among all the dead lies Cremortius

He is wounded, but still wants to fight us

With the axe in his hands and hate in his eye

He is charging against us, refusing to die

Arigo the Wise (Raphael Mendes):

With the last of my powers I get on my feet

Cremortius will finally face his defeat

I summon the forces of the earth and the sky

Blasting bolts of lightning until he dies

Gods of war I am ready to die

Take my soul to the hall of the brave

Time has come for our last goodbye

But do not give up hope, there’s a world you must save

Arigo the Wise (Raphael Mendes):

I’d defend the true King until the end

It’s been an honour to serve you, my dear old friend

Now I feel that life is fading away

But you will live to fight another day

God of War (Tommy Johansson):

With the last of his powers he gets on his feet

Cremortius will finally face his defeat

He summons the forces of the earth and the sky

Blasting bolts of lightning until he dies

Gods of war I am ready to die

Take my soul to the hall of the brave

Time has come for our last goodbye

But don not give up hope, there’s a world you must save

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

Can you hear me, my old friend?

I’ll stay with you until the end

Arigo the Wise (Raphael Mendes):

Dry your tears, you must carry on

Finish all that we’ve begun

The sun is rising once again

Its beauty takes away my pain

Lying in the field, feeling strange within

Eternal night is closing in

08. The Sarlinian Bow

Solo by Jennifer Batten

Solo by Robin Malm

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

King Elrath, my friend

I must ask you a favour again

King Elrath (Olaf Hayer):

Whatever is mine, is yours

Just put an end to these godawful wars

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

There’s an artefact of which I hope you know

A magical elvish bow

King Elrath (Olaf Hayer):

Yes, I do know

You speak of the Sarlinian bow

I would do anything to help you

But this is beyond what I can do

The bow has been lost for generations

Elves have searched all possible locations

It is gone, I am sorry to say

I hope you can find some other way…

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

All hope is gone…

Princess Lariana (Anniken Rasmussen):

There might be a way after all

There’s this tale of a tree by a waterfall

When I was a child, my mother would sing to me

About a magical bow and a tree

It’s the tree of life, and I think I know where it could be

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

Lariana, take me there!

Please, Lariana, show me where!

Queen of the Elves (Melissa Bonny):

The Sarlinian bow was unreal

It had the powers to both harm and heal

Only the worthy may use it

Steal it, and you will lose it

That’s what happened in the elvish wars

Someone tried to take it by force

It’s lost now, but it can be found

Somewhere by a waterfall

there’s a tree that knows it all

The tree of life may grant the bow

To the mightiest warrior with the kindest soul

To the one with the kindest soul

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

I hear the waterfall, we must be near

Princess Lariana (Anniken Rasmussen):

The tree is not far from here

- They approach the Tree of Life –

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

Hear me now, tree of life

I am the Warrior King

I am feared and loved by many

I would say that makes me worthy

Tree of life (John Rhys-Davies):

They may call you Warrior King

But I will not grant you anything

Your heart is cold, your soul is too

I cannot give the bow to you

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

Grant me the bow, (mighty/oh) tree of life!

Or I will cut you down with this knife!

Princess Lariana (Anniken Rasmussen):

Stop! This can’t be the way!

This tree has been here since the dawn of the very first day

Oh, Warrior King, respect all life!

Please lay down your knife

Tree of life (John Rhys-Davies):

Lariana, you are brave and true

I will give the bow to you

- Then suddenly bow appears on one of the branches –

Princess Lariana (Anniken Rasmussen):

Thank you, almighty tree

For giving this bow to me

I’ll keep it safe and by my side

Protecting the Warrior King and his allied

Queen of the Elves (Melissa Bonny):

The Sarlinian bow was unreal

It had the powers to both harm and heal

Only the worthy may use it

Steal it, and you will lose it

That’s what happened in the elvish wars

Someone tried to take it by force

It’s lost now, but it can be found

Somewhere by a waterfall

there’s a tree that knows it all

The tree of life may grant the bow

To the mightiest warrior with the kindest soul

To the one with the kindest soul

09. Deep In the Mountain

Solo by Jimmy Hedlund

Narrator:

“The cave is collapsing!

Run! Run as fast as you can!

We’ll meet on the other side”

Baldur the Strong (Herbie Langhans):

Where am I now, everything is a haze

Seems like I’m lost in an unknown place

Been walking around and I don’t know where

But I will not give in to fear

Need to act quickly, or else I’ll die

I am not ready for my last goodbye

Keep pushing through and back to safety

Not knowing what will face me

I’m trapped deep in the mountain

And I feel I’ve been here before

Am I running around in circles?

I just can’t take this no more

Can’t take this no more

What is that ghastly sound I hear?

It must be coming from over there

Follow the noise and stay out of sight

Because I am not ready for another fight

I’m trapped deep in the mountain

And I feel I’ve been here before

Am I running around in circles?

I just can’t take this no more

Can’t take this no more

We must have travelled too far, I hear the sound of drums

Around me there are voices, with long forgotten tongues

Lost and all alone, I see unfamiliar places

A stranger in a strange land, I see unfamiliar faces

I’m trapped deep in the mountain

And I feel I’ve been here before

Am I running around in circles?

I just can’t take this no more

Can’t take this no more

Protector of the Gate to the Tomb of the Fallen Kings:

“Relax, my friends. You are safe for now. I am the protector of the gate that lead to the Tomb of the Fallen Kings. You have come so far on your quest, but you are not done yet. I grant you this gift for your courage and your bravery. Here is the key of Destiny. The sixth ancient artefact. With the magic powers of this key you can unlock any door you want. Even the gates behind me. The last artefact is not far away. You may enter. But beware. The ghosts of the Fallen Kings are not the only ones living in these tombs.”

10. Tomb of Fallen Kings

Solo by Sigurd Kårstad

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

Voices from the dark, they are calling me

Could it be my inner demons trying to break free?

Night descends upon my soul and will never go away

An unknown force grabs a hold on me, pain has come to stay

Black Wizard Dorgormir (Ralf Scheepers):

Come closer, there’s nowhere to hide

Come now, let my darkness be your guide

I call on you, eternal night

I’m awaiting your deliverance

And I know that they won’t stand a chance

I call on you, eternal night

I’m awaiting your deliverance

And I know that they won’t stand a chance

Tonight

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

Darkness grasping around my soul and torturing my mind

He’s tightening his fearful grip, all joy is left behind

Black Wizard Dorgormir (Ralf Scheepers):

My spells cannot be broken and your journey ends tonight

Surrender to my work of evil, there’s no use to fight

Come closer, there’s nowhere to hide

Come now, let my darkness be your guide

I call on you, eternal night

I’m awaiting your deliverance

And I know that they won’t stand a chance

I call on you, eternal night

I’m awaiting your deliverance

And I know that they won’t stand a chance

Tonight

Black Wizard Dorgormir (Ralf Scheepers):

You’re drowning

Drowning in a sea of dreams

You’re drowning

No one can hear your screams

You know you have no choice

Just follow my voice

Narrator:

The staff of Dorgormir! The last of the seven ancient artefacts.

It has the power to open the gateway between the dead and the living.

King Thorgan’s ghost appears before us.

You have done well. You have united all the seven ancient artefacts.

The Fallen Kings will ride into battle one last time.

And this time, they will get their revenge.

Black Wizard Dorgormir (Ralf Scheepers):

What you seek from these tombs, it is not yours to take

The mighty staff of Dorgormir can turn the dead awake

But as my powers fade, like a wind from the past

I’ve tried to breath for quite some time, and now I’m free at last

Come closer, there’s nowhere to hide

Come now, let my darkness be your guide

I call on you, eternal night

I’m awaiting your deliverance

And I know that they won’t stand a chance

I call on you, eternal night

I’m awaiting your deliverance

And I know that they won’t stand a chance

Tonight

Black Wizard Dorgormir (Ralf Scheepers):

The world I used to know is now gone

It will never be the same again

But a new day will come

And in time all the pain will go away

And in time all the pain will go away

11. Stars Will Guide the Way

Solos by Jimmy Hedlund

Angel of Hope (Daniel Heiman):

What you face today will go down in history

All you ever do creates your destiny

Now that you know that you are not alone

A new world will rise, and the darkness will be gone

High Priest of the Elder Order (Arnaud Menard):

All the mountains we have climbed

All the dreams we’ve left behind

Will never be forgotten

Never be forgotten

In the dark the stars will light the way

They won’t leave you astray

On this glorious day

And the moon will shine for everyone

We’re all children of the sun

The fighting must be done

High Priest of the Elder Order (Arnaud Menard):

I won’t desert you now, I am with you until the end

We will face this final battle together as friends

From the ashes of the old world the flowers grow

And the pain from the past, it is time to let it go

Angel of Hope (Daniel Heiman):

All the mountains you have climbed

All the dreams you left behind

Will never be forgotten

Never be forgotten

In the dark the stars will light the way

They won’t leave you astray

On this glorious day

And the moon will shine for everyone

We’re all children of the sun

The fighting must be done

Both::

Over hills and over mountains

We shall fight until the end

And a new world will arise

We will die for our great land

For the kingdom, for the people

We will face the Dark Lord’s fury

For the heroes of tomorrow

We will tell of their story

Revolution has begun

But the war has yet to be won

We must face this evil once and for all

By the Seven Ancient Artefacts the Dark Lord will fall

All the mountains we have climbed

All the dreams we’ve left behind

Will never be forgotten

Never be forgotten

In the dark the stars will light the way

They won’t leave you astray

On this glorious day

And the moon will shine for everyone

We’re all children of the sun

The fighting must be done

12. For Our King and For Our Land

Solo by Dushan Petrossi

Solo by Sigurd Kårstad

Solo by Fredrik E. Enochson

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

Storming the gates of Valley Doom, we’re taking back the throne

Soon it will be ours again and this time we’re not alone

Bérnald the Watchman (John Yelland):

Heroes and men united to fight for the land of the free

And Prince Ferago will be crowned our King, as he was born to be

Thernac (Mikael Holst):

There upon the hillside the sun is shining bright

Another day, another chance, King Elrath joins the fight

King Elrath (Olaf Hayer):

We must take the battle straight to them, let’s face them one last time

Riding into the storm tonight while the bells of freedom chime

For our King and for our land

We will die with sword in hand

Raise our banners to the sky

Together we will fight

We will live through the darkest night

Let me hear your battle cry

Your battle cry

Mandelek (Elisa Martin):

The Dark Lord has been laying waste to our glorious land

But on this day, we will be remembered for our final stand

King Elrath (Olaf Hayer):

Charging into a raging battle, there’s chaos everywhere

Swords are clashing in the night, death is in the air

Commander of the Bargor-Zun Legion (George Tsalikis):

Rain of Apocalyptic Fire lighting up the sky tonight

The city walls are crumbling down, there is hope in sight

The Ghost of King Thorgan (Tim Ripper Owens):

United for this final battle, dwarves and elves and men

With the seven ancient artefacts we ride into the storm again

For our King and for our land

We will die with sword in hand

Raise our banners to the sky

Together we will fight

We will live through the darkest night

Let me hear your battle cry

Your battle cry

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

As a new dawn is rising

Hopes of freedom fill the air

Our journey is at the end

March with me, my friends

Warrior King (Marius Danielsen):

In the midst of all the mayhem we see the Dark Lord out on the field

My eyes are locked on that beast, we charge with sword and shield

Eunotrian (Peter Danielsen):

With the Seven Ancient Artefacts united once again

The Dark Lord will be taken down, the end of his reign

Prince Ferago (Alessio Garavello):

And there I stand face to face with the embodiment of fear

The man who killed my father and now revenge is near

A mighty blow from all of us brings him to the ground

The raging light within his eyes, put out and soon no sound

“The Dark Lord is dead!

Storm the gates! Now, is our chance!

Charge!”

For our King and for our land

We will die with sword in hand

Raise our banners to the sky

Together we will fight

We will live through the darkest night

Let me hear your battle cry

Your battle cry

We rise from the ashes, like a phoenix we fly high

Spread our wings and fight for freedom, 'till the day we die

The eternal flame still burns inside our hearts with pride and joy

That is something you can ever kill or destroy

We rise from the ashes, like a phoenix we fly high

Spread our wings and fight for freedom, 'till the day we die

The eternal flame still burns inside our hearts with pride and joy

That is something you can ever kill or destroy

“Peace was once again restored, and Prince Ferago finally crowned the King of Valley Doom. He gathered a small army and went on a hunt to destroy the last remnants of the Dark Lord’s reign. The people of Valley Doom could finally return to their homes after years of being on the run.

Out on the battlefield flowers started to grow and rain washed away all the sorrow and pain.

Soon the whole valley was as green as ever before and everything would become a just distant memory.

This was the Legend of Valley Doom.”
