Riddle of the Skies by Iron Age Lyrics

I find the one ive sought, for days on end, before the gate
And on arriving I received whats alloed me
Stripped of axe and faith, alone ill climb

(Altorr, the Sorcerer) "There!"

The summit holds a truth that I must see

(Altorr) "Then you will travel to the greatest peak, Clubimal. On arrival, you will wish that you had not."

I reach the entrance to my way of ascent and there stands the old one with a final plea

(Altorr) "There is peril and temptation above..." Quiet! The summit is my fate and I will see

(Altorr) "Then you will revel, in her flesh youll find delirium. Though not a devil, she protects the ones you seek."

I wake to thunder, a crack in the sky. Like a hammer fall the rains. A warning of the gods not to approach. But my will is power, and their works are in vain

Its been days of not but snow and wind, I sense a movement in the caves. The warning from below comes back to me, (Altorr) "...And beware, the unfallen slain!"

At once, in battle with the vile guards of the hall. Tearing at me through mist and fog. Their blood will make rivers! But soon too many will come. No choice but to fight, the horn calls
I rip their flesh, their bones are crushed in my hand. Bodies mount, then a cry begs me

(Taras, the Witch) "Stop!"

Then she appears, the one im warned to fear. Lustful creature, come to tempt me!

(Taras) "Youve journeyed long..."

But I am close, the hall is near, I see its light. They wait above, im the first to reach their height. But spent, and worn Ill stay and rest the night

(Taras) "Then follow..."

Start my climb after the strangest of dreams, my weary body at the door of the hall. A darkened figure approaches me...
