ballad of the 9 heroes

[big-si-1974.livejournal.com]

9 there were, strode upon the field

Three times three, power beyond compare

 

To begin the king and his court

Phoenix King, Bold as brass, fighter without measure

Prince of night, Sly of wit, magician of fate

Luna’s regent, Strong of arm, tough as an Ox

 

Followed by the Knights of Life

The Bishop, Strong of mind, faith unmeasured

The Templar, hunter of devils, death to evil

The Hand, Leader of men, wise of council

 

Lastly the Wolves of Albion

Bride of sun, sorceress unbound, happiness renewed

Groom of light, defender of life, love reborn

Warrior of dusk, born of death, hope re-forged

 

Heroes of old fighting darkness without end

Impossible the others said, no one can defeat the Wrym

Nameless were does who said it could not be done

Pricks of light against the darkness

The beast roared and started upon the heart

Fighting despair with hope and passion

 

Hours and days the battle lasted

Titan of hatred smashing forth and laying waste

Heroes stood amongst the slain

Lives they gave to pass on life for the future

Eight were felled by the heart of Darkness

Weakened they held it, Gaia lives

 

The phoenix child survived to give hope

Carried a message from his mother, A hero will come

And with him the 9 Warriors old waiting to be renewed and reborn
