So dark are these paths no human eye should see

Guarded by statues in velvet moss clad

Grow savage blackthorns'ere yonder secret cave

For hid shalt remain the dun Elfin Grot

...Yet for mee to know...



Subterranean ruins falling from rocky clouds

Far anvils echo in the snow-covered temple

Beyond the lake mist, on the opposite shore

Silhouettes are dancing an elemental dance

...The Nine Worthies stand there...



In the bleeding One turked the ruin of a royalty once forlorn

But in a future of centuries old They will leave the catacombs of earth
