The Path to Talmor -

Dusk falls across the field

The last shreds of scarlet fade away

Cold mist closes in

And Morhold is cloaked in velvet gray

For a moment

The world seems to be at peace

The breeze through the valley

Brings us sweet release

But silence never lingers long in times of war

With open eyes and bated breath

We anticipate the roar

And over the rush of the River of Runes

The wise one’s return is heralded

By the sound of thundering hooves

Thallion:

We ride at dawn!

Upon mighty steeds, our promise we’ll keep!

We’ve known all along

Our cause is righteous

We’ll fight until the last hope is gone

We charge southward

As the day’s first glow illuminates the sky

The stillness of the morning

Shattered by our battle cry

On to Talmor

For a preemptive attack

Fate hangs in the balance

We’ll take the fortress back

But behold, awaiting us

Hidden in the haze, just across the plain

Charging with fury and two thousand swords

Delnen, the traitor thane

One last fight

The Earth shakes as forces meet

Might makes right

We’ll never admit defeat

Ambold:

We must not let this one chance slip away

I swear on my life

Delnen’s treachery will end this very day!

The valley echoes with the din of pain

The river runs red with the blood of the slain

One by one, the dishonored fall

We search for the thane, the cause of it all

The traitor flees, pursued through his ranks

Until his back is pinned upon the river bank

Thallion:

Delnen has one final chance!

Crush the amulet and break his trance!

With the spell broken and nowhere to run

He must face the truth

Delnen:

By the gods, what have I done?

We ride at dawn

Upon mighty steeds, our promise we’ll keep

Our passion is strong

Even in the wake of betrayal

We must battle on

Delnen:

You know what you must do

Ambold:

So much is lost because of you

Delnen:

I deserve to die

Ambold:

May the gods be more merciful than I…

Delnen:

I let my brethren die

Crushed beneath the hordes of Mortulae

Just to save my name

Now I beg of you in all my shame

Take my blade from me

Strike me down, then take your kin and flee

Turn and walk away

Live to fight again another day

Ambold:

Tears will fill your eyes

When you see the world through mine…

Ambold:

No!

You will not escape this way

You’ll live with your guilt for the rest of your days

You can never atone for your crimesYour punishment shall be to live on and

fight on our side

Dusk falls across the field

The last shreds of scarlet fade away

The river rushes on

As the sun sets on another day

We’ll rest while we can

Despite our grief, we must advance

With our forces together

We just might have a chance

The quiet mourning on the battlefield

Must be abandoned long before our wounds have healed

For silence never lingers long in times of war

And on the morn, we’ll charge ahead

Along the path to Talmor

We ride at dawn

Upon mighty steeds, our promise we’ll keep

We’ve known all along

Our cause is righteous

We’ll fight until the last hope is gone
