Beyond the red horizon A Stygian citadel lies Veiled in a purple mist Entombed in time Thieves travel miles Amazed by jewels and gold They do not care or fear The stories bards have told Dark shadows of Stygia Dark shadows of Stygia The gates are wide open Stalk among the ruins So ancient yet enchanted Slumbering in lurid nimbus Enter the black stone temple Behold the priesthood scrolls And the great serpent of gold Once worshipped in ways of old Dark shadows of Stygia Dark shadows of Stygia Plumbed deep into evil depths You awoke the snake-god yet again The fiery sparkling ruby eyes of Set Mesmerised, soon to join the dead Lost in desert retreats And brooding river Styx Remnants of an impious past A Stygian curse still lives Bards will always tell About a citadel lost But many still will venture To sack at all cost Dark shadows of Stygia Dark shadows of Stygia
