Rise and Fall

Lord Soth,

once an honoured knight

of the order of Solamnia...

He built a stronghold, tall and proud,

in the shape of his order's sign.

Long time ago, he was disgraced from the gods,

for failing his duties to restore order in the realm.

He found the love of an elven maid,

let his minions kill his wife.

The gods threw a fiery mountain

on the city of Istar,

to punish the arrogance of the high priest.

To The Catavlysm, to the end of the world.

"noctem, redde tuae, dux bone, patriae!"

Dawning in the lands of the damned.

A new morning went by

in the darkened halls of the fallen one;

as many others did.

Condemned to await the end of all days,

guided by the cries of banshees.

Dead and forgotten mortals,

a life without light,

a life without the warmth of blood.

Rise and fall - an empire to lose

Fall and rise - a cataclysm to come

Rise and fall - the sea changed blood red

Fall and rise - for a new order
