Sacred Steel Dark Forces Lead Me To The Brimstone Gate
[A retrospect on the Dark Lord's ninth forbidden
Journey]
([THE TYRANT KING:] "I look into myself to ask the
Fates for answers but even the Voices of my Soul remain
silent. Still sleeping I murmur the Ritual Words of the
time-lost Invocation : ARA'SHA NIMU KO'SHA ! The third
Dream-Gate opens and I fall onward through the Crystal
Ball...")
(The apostate on the Voyage to the center of Cythraul)
"Weird Dreams, dark Visions, black Spells ensorcell me
!
Sword tight (in my trembling hands), grim mission, come
forth those Voices sing..."
[THE WITCH:]
"The Secrets once forbidden are gifts to be unveiled !
Beware (my son) ! For Hell's Damnation waits if you
should ever fail !"
(The Sojourner is trapped in the Delirium of the Fall)
[THE TYRANT KING:]
"A royal Balefire (I see the Valkries taking my dead
body to the Hall of Kings) !
A King's soul, haunted, doomed !
A Warrior's death pyre ! A mortal earthbound tomb"
"I follow to the Ancient Call, DARK FORCES !
I'm falling through the Crystal Ball, DARK FORCES !
I've come to face my Sacred Fate, DARK FORCES !
(I beg thee) DARK FORCES, lead me to the Brimstone Gate
!!!"
"Death-Ring ! Black Magic ! Your Wielder I shall be !
Doom-Sword ! Dark Terror ! Your Steel my Victory !
Wrath-Sceptre ! Wand of Spells ! Sign of a God-King's
Reign
I fear not Death nor Hell nor Fire !!! I shall not fail
!!!"
("I enter to the Stygian Pyramids. Realm of the
descendants of a race even older than the Old Gods
themselves !")
"Shield blessed by Sorcery, anointed by her Spells
I'm drawn into the Black Abyss of fiery Hell !"
("I am reborn in Bloodshed to wreak Havoc, Death and
Hate
Upon the lost souls doomed, where endless Pain awaits
!")
"I call thee... DARK FORCES ! DARK FORCES ! (Priests of
the Serpent-Race !)
DARK FORCES ! (Sorcerers of Time ! Disciples of the
Worm !)
DARK FORCES ! DARK FORCES !
LEAD ME TO THE BRIMSTONE GATE !!!"
(Before the Council of the Serpent. The Dreamer stands
alone, facing the Trial of the Elder Gods.)
[THE ELDER GODS:]
"Behold these Treasures ! We know your Soul is pure.
Take them and use them to rule this World once more !"
(The Neophyte on the way back to the second Dream-Gate)
[THE TYRANT KING:]
"Thus spake the Elders !
The Gods of Metal, Steel and Iron and Glory
(I am) Reborn to reign as King !"
"DARK FORCES LEAD ME TO THE BRIMSTONE GATE !
DARK FORCES LEAD ME THROUGH THE BRIMSTONE GATE !!!"
("Passing the third gate, I return to the crimson
world.")
"...And to a world of Slaughter I awake !"
