Em                  C             G   D    Em
'As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky
Em
The three travellers, men of Willowdale
Emerge from the forest shadow
Fording the River Don, they turn south, journeying
Into the dark and forbidding lands of the Necromancer
Even now the intensity of his dread power can be felt
Weakening the body and saddening the heart
Ultimately they will become empty, mindless spectres
Stripped of will and soul, only
Their thirst for freedom gives them hunger for vengeance'

Em
Silence shrouds the forest
                C          G   D    Em
As the birds announce the dawn
Em
Three trav'llers ford the river
                      C G  D   Em
And southward journey on

The road is lined with peril
The air is charged with fear
The shadow of his nearness
Weighs like iron tears

Em
'Shreds of black cloud loom in overcast skies
The Necromancer keeps watch with his
magic prism eyes
He views all his lands and is already
aware of the three helpless invaders
Trapped in his lair'

Em
Brooding in the tower
Watching o'er his land
Holding ev'ry creature
Helplessly they stand
Gaze into his prisms
Knowing they are near
Lead them to the dungeons
Spectres numb with fear
They bow defeated

E           B  A  B
Enter the Champion
Prince By-Tor appears to battle for
freedom from chains of long years
The spell has been broken
the Dark Lands are bright
The Wraith of the Necromancer soars
Away in the night.'

  E        B     A  B
Stealthily attacking
By-Tor slays his foe
The men are free to run now
From labyrinths below
The Wraith of Necromancer
Shadows through the sky
Another land to darken
With evil prism eye
