Смысл текста песни "The Mystic Prophecy of the Demonknight" исполнителя "Rhapsody Of Fire"

Into the darkness they crossed the marsh

And entered the frozen cave

A secret path was cut into the rock

A labyrinth a twisted maze

An unknown misty haze

Open your heart

Then your mind's eye

Khaas' eyes focused on the grey rock

He saw it in a different way

The riddle soon would be solved

An illusion was carved in the stone

The arrows show where to go

Trust in yourself

Truth awaits you there

Crawling on their hands and knees

Dark is their endless journey

So deep the cave of bats

But they will go on and on

They are the last hope

For men dragons and dwarfs

Spirits of the forest

Shy elves and trolls

Five go from Elgard

Into the darkness leaving the light

To find the Black Order's

Immortal dark rhymes

To find the written words

By hellgod's unholy son

Prevent him from returning

And save the whole world

Through the valley of sin

Led by the whispers of holy wind

Into Dar-Kunor a new saga begins

The well of dead souls appears, a red river's flowing inside

There's no way to cross, there's no way to climb

They wish they were birds and could fly

Fly to the other side

There's a message

On the dark stone

They discovered a massive dark stone

Atop it a riddle inscribed:

"Walk in the bloody abyss,

Led onward by Nekron's black will,

Find the courage in his name"

Search your conscience

Read between those words

"Yes, and now I know. Nekron's name is all

That we need to solve this mystery"

Iras spoke those holy words

They are the last hope

For men dragons and dwarfs

Spirits of the forest

Shy elves and trolls

Five go from Elgard

Into the darkness leaving the light

To find the Black Order's

Immortal dark rhymes

To find the written words

By hellgod's unholy son

Prevent him from returning

And save the whole world

Through the valley of sin

Led by the whispers of holy wind

Into Dar-Kunor a new saga begins

[Iras Algor:]

"And so this new riddle finally revealed itself to me.

The solution lay in Nekron's name.

In the Nekranos alphabet certain numbers corresponding to the letters of his name

Aligned in accordance with black geometry enabling us

To walk on invisible steps across the silent abyss

Reaching the other side of the cave.

Unknown horrors awaited us behind those two dark portals"

[TARISH:]

By all the gods of my Nordic lands...

We are at the gates of death...

[KHAAS:] They were built with the severed limbs of humans and elves

[DARGOR:] ...under the orders of my father Vankar...

[LOTHEN:] I can feel suffering in every rock...

[IRAS:] Listen to the silence...

[TARISH:] That must be the great hall...

[DARGOR:] The unholy place where the Black Order was born...

Since 5000 years, age of primordial wars

The men of the known world read Nekron's manuscripts

Power, blood and luxury attracted some of them

Who denied the gift of light, sealed their bloody faith to...

Hell, Kron and his son

He revealed to them the key to resurrect his soul

He would be the avenger of his death

Nekron once dead would survive in their faith

Here they came

To pray for him

A new black order

Dar-Kunor was

A gathering of fools

Evil seed for new

Tragic wars

Sacrifice of innocents, darkest rites with human flesh

This was written in the books seven like the sins of men

But horror fills the one that keeps the most terrible prophecy

With it Nekron gave the key to awaken him from sleep

Sad, dark, prophecy

Our heroes have to find it

Or the world will suffer

The last book contains another key

All the wizards know

The seventh book's the only hope

There may be a key

In the seventh book

A message for the evil order

How to hide

Tht angels' rhymes

So they never will be seen again

[KHAAS:]

Great lords of thunder...the seventh lost book...there...

Upon the altar...

[DARGOR:] Yes...that is the book...I am sure of it!

I've heard my father describe it many times...

[TARISH:] Let us take it and leave this godforsaken place...

[IRAS:] ...the legendary evil book is now in our hands...

Let us make haste...this was too easy

[ALL TOGETHER:] What are these noises?

What's happening...what's going on?

[IRAS:] Removing it has awakened some nameless horror

[KHAAS:] ...let us leave here now...

[TARISH:] Look...there! ...hands coming up from the ground...

[ALL TOGETHER:] Ahhh...come on...get away from here...let's move!

Scene di vita, eroica memoria

Verso la luce della speranza

Nel cieco oblio della lor fuga

Nel grigio limbo tra vita e morte

"Fleeing through the labyrinths with the hordes of the living dead

Fast upon them

Once again they found themselves trapped in front of the abyss.

But with no time to think about black geometry

They leaped into the red river

For any death would have been better than the one waiting for them

Created by the hungry creatures of darkness"

Ossa e fango

Ma il respiro c'è

Covered by skulls and bones

In Hargor's marsh they found a way to hide

From the sons of darkness

Who betrayed the angels' light

They are the last hope

For men dragons and dwarfs

Spirits of the forest

Shy elves and trolls

Five go from Elgard

Into the darkness leaving the light

To find the Black Order's

Immortal dark rhymes

To find the written words

By hellgod's unholy son

Prevent him from returning

And save the whole world

Finally out of the dark

They see the light of the moon

They stole from Dar-Kunor

The seventh black book
