Wizard - Prolog lyrics

And the gods beheld that the thunderwarriors
Fought hard and brave in the
"Battle of metal" however
They wanted to challenge them
Once again this test
Was called the "battle of steel" in order to
Aid them in their holy quest it
Was decided to bestow unto
Them four magic utensils

So the gods called upon the old dwarf and
The mighty wizard and told them what
They sought the dwarf took
The sword "Nothung"
Once belonging to "Siegfried
The dragon-slayer"
Fused and smithed from it's steel
Four shakels of metal
The wizard created the same number of amulets
From the skin of a black demon
He then took the silver shaded blood of a
Dead unicorn from which he drew four
Magic runes, each drenched with natural power

The power and strength of a bear would be
Given to the bearer of the hammer
"Giants death"
The speed of a hunting hawk to
The bearer of the bow "heart
Hunter", the brutality of a lone wolf to
The bearer of the axe "skullcrusher"
And the deafening roar of a black lion
To the bearer of the sword "souleater"

Then the dwarf mounted the shakels of
Metal on the amulets whilst reciting
Ancient words of magic power thereafter the
Amulets were presented to the
Dragon lords, who brought them to midgard
Home of the thunderwarriors they
Received this gift and a mighty power flushed
Through their veins it was the
Power of magic-the magic of steel

Suddenly thunder rocked the silence
Lightning crushed the roof of the hall
And the two mightiest gods of valhalla Thor
And Odin- stood on the stage the
God of thunder held his hammer on high
Odin wailed his spear into the
Audience any wimp present knew now that
Death was imminent they disappeared
As quickly as they came

In the blink of an eye the thunderwarriors
Conquered the stage: Once again they
Would ride side by side with
Their legion of doom, under the sign of the
Wizard, to their next test- the "battle of
Steel" so they fought with the
Power of metal and again were victorious
They devoured the hearts and spilled
The blood of their enemies
Their weapons found
The hearts of all deceivers and
Liers, crushing their bodies to the ground
After the "battle of steel" was
Over the ground was covered by a sea of
Blood from that day on the four
Thunderwarriors knew that they were
Forever bound by metal
