Shadow in the Black

Place that is not a place

Vortex of fire The Gateway

To all the outer planes

Where life's own Magic mountains

Circle beyond all time

Feeding The Tree with white light

Demons in dark disguise

Shall never break The Lifeline

Before The Throne

Demon of wrath

Not flesh nor bone

A shadow in the black

Cryptic The Spiral Way

Even so in this space-age

Leaving rectors dismayed

Seeking out wisdom's daybreak

Hidden by dark of night

Not even seen by hindsight

Spectre who plagues the mind

Of Bards inside the limelight

Before The Throne

Demon of wrath

Not flesh nor bone

A shadow in the black

Nightmare like is the unknown

Demon seed guarding The Throne

Test of faith probing The Soul

Eight fold way of paying the toll

Frost, from beyond the grave

Fire, to burn us the way

Rock, the strength of The Soul

Fight, this shadow of old

Here inside The Maze

Trinity of Flame

As the lightning cracks

We banish the shadow in the black

Holy war and righteous crusades

Like burning Witches at the stake

Narrow minds will never believe

Until The Dead rise from The Sea
