Rhapsody of Fire
Shadows of Death
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
The old elf king Tarish knows well the way
Through the caverns
To Dar-Kunor's forgotten entrance
For two days they walked in the wild
On the pathway to darkness
The reason they survived, it was Dargor

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Finally they saw in the black and evil marsh
There lied the passageway
Between snakes and hellish mud

[Chorus]
Shadows of death
Follow behind into Dar-Kunor caves
Shadows of death
The holy mission of Iras' new friends
Five heroes ready to die
Die for the whole world
Die to protect
The green of the earth
The green of the earth
[Verse 2]
Black waters moving are signs
Dar-Kunor's river
(The water is cold)
The water is cold there
Tharish dived into the marshes
He soon disappeared
(Into the black icy water)
Black icy water

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Then, when he appeared
They welcome him as heroes do
He found the caves of the ancient brother elves

[Chorus]
Shadows of death
Follow behind into Dar-Kunor caves
Shadows of death
The holy mission of Iras' new friends
Five heroes ready to die
Die for the whole world
Die to protect
The green of the earth
The green of the earth
The green and the wonderful beloved our Mother Earth
Yaw!
[Instrumental Break and Guitar Solo]

[Spoken – King Uriel]
"Now is the time to face the underworld of Dar-Kunor
Perhaps never to return alive"

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Shadows of death
Follow behind into Dar-Kunor caves
Shadows of death
The holy mission of Iras' new friends
Five heroes ready to die
Die for the whole world
Die to protect
The green of the earth
The green of the earth
The green and the wonderful beloved Mother of all
Yeah!
