lyrics

In this blackest night, you pray to Crom
To grant you your bloody revenge
Let your arrows fly, your will is strong
Let your soul catch fire like heroes long gone

There’s a fury in your soul drives out all fear
You don’t know what’s coming, and you don’t care
So when the black moon rises and the monsters come
Your sword will sing its death song.

For in these jungles, you had found ancient ruins
With shining treasure, overflowing from a crypt
But those who stood guard poisoned your water 
They drove you mad, and your crew was slaughtered

River Zarkheba, whose name means death
It will not be where you meet your end
And with your foes crushed beneath your heel
There is justice with cold, cold steel.

The battle has ended and you set the funeral pyre
It fades in the ocean,
As the gold and rose dawn splashes brighter…

All the power, exhaustion, evil, and even black magic of the blues, played on the five string banjo, guitar, and the mountain dulcimer.
