Far to the north lies an ancient forgotten kingdom a land of eternal winter, a realm of darkness and frost Nightwraith of the wintercrypt He longs to be free! Nightwraith of the wintercrypt He seeks knowledge arcane and forbidden! Nightwraith of the wintercrypt Everlasting Lord of undeath! Nightwraith of the wintercrypt True horror encased beneath the ice! A wretched spirit, cursed for his horrid deeds, entombed by magicks forgotten An icy crown rests upon his troubled brow From a mailed fist he wields the sword of cosmic sundering Nightwraith of the wintercrypt He longs to be free! Nightwraith of the wintercrypt He seeks knowledge arcane and forbidden! Nightwraith of the wintercrypt Everlasting Lord of undeath! Nightwraith of the wintercrypt True horror encased beneath the ice! Venture not to this land far to the north, and pray to the gods the ice never melts For the nightwraith will then rise, and destroy mankind nothing shall be spared

Two paths he could take borne of a fear of death and the nothingness that awaited his soul One was of nature: To put his essence into the living world and be one with all things The other was of corruption: The fear of death so unyielding He sealed his soul at the cost to his body and became a horrid lich The curse of mortality cast him into the darkness and by the weakness of his own spirit the path of the necromancer was his only calling Though his body is decayed, his spirit remained Such was the price for walking the path Such was the price of the necromancer Such was the price for walking the path Such was the price of the necromancer

Light this fire, begin this war the final conflict of the human race gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair a blight spreads through all once fair Choking on smoke, a man-made hellfire First the poor suffer, but the rich shall die too Pitiful humans, all of us damned we forgot the magic the earth gave to us Vengeance shall be wrought in kind All warnings went unheeded the masters had blinded us to the cost of their own greed to build an empire of mold The tree of life rots from within, this is where the cycle ends, this is my lamentation song for a morrow that will never be I come to this place: the withering grove, once a bastion of natural communion And offer my sorrows to old dead gods who once guided mankind through dark times I offer my sorrows to stillborn children cursed by the arrogance of their selfish sires We now suffer on behalf of our forgotten past known only to our forefathers
