Booklet Lyrics
IRAS: “What many believed was only a legend

Was now lying in front of me…

There it was… Erian's book of the holy angels…

The testament of all the heavens… beckoning to me…

A black dragon made of stone stood guard over it

Threatening with outstretched wings…

As I drew closer my heart pounded

But I cast off my fear and in the next instant…

I opened the book… ”

KING URIEL:

“What Erian had written 5000 years before

Was now finally before their eyes”

(Suddenly Tarish raises a knife to Iras's throat)

DARGOR: Elf of the caves!

KHAAS: Tarish, what in God's name are you doing?

IRAS: You… insane… fool!

TARISH: I do what must be done…

DARGOR: Let him go!

TARISH: Give me the book and I will spare the life

Of this old wizard!

LOTHEN: Traitor…

IRAS: He knows not what he's doing!

TARISH: I know very well what I am doing…

Hand it to me…

Give it to me… or he will die!

KHAAS: All right… take the book but let Iras go…

IRAS: Nooo…

(In the next instant Khaas and Dargor attack Tarish)

IRAS: Take it… from him!

TARISH: Fools… this belongs to the Black Order…

DARGOR: Leave it… leave it!

IRAS: Ahhh… I'm bleeding…

LOTHEN: Help him…

IRAS: Do not let him escape… go after him…

We must have the book…

DARGOR: I will return with it!

IRAS: “As I lay wounded…

An incredible pain shooting through my head…

I saw Dargor struggling with Tarish… he won!

But before dying, the elf king was able

To tear some pages out of Erian's book…

Then everything turned to black…”

KING URIEL:

“What Erian had written 5000 years before,

was now, finally, before their eyes”

(Suddenly Tarish raises a knife to Iras's throat)

DARGOR: Elf of the caves!

KHAAS: Tarish, what in God's name are you doing?

IRAS: You… insane… fool!

TARISH: I do what must be done…

DARGOR: Let him go!

(Dargor engages Tarish, and a velitation ensues)

TARISH: Agh!

DARGOR: Ouh!

TARISH?: Agah!

(*Tarish panting*)

DARGOR: Auh!

(Tarish, still panting moves back)

TARISH: Give me the book… *pant* *pant* and I will spare the life of this old wizard!

LOTHEN: Traitor…faint

(a blow lands, and Khaas? yelps in pain)

IRAS: He knows not what he's doing!

TARISH: I know very well what I am doing…

TARISH: Hand it to me…

TARISH: Give it to me…! …or he will die!

KHAAS: All right…! …take the book but let Iras go…

IRAS: Nooo…!

(*They drop the book*)

Tarish?: Take it! Drop it!

(In the next instant Khaas and Dargor attack Tarish)

IRAS: Fools…!

TARISH: This belongs to the Black Order…

DARGOR: Leave it… leave it!

IRAS: Ahhh… I'm bleeding… (in background: Khaas struggling with Tarish)

LOTHEN: Help him…faint

IRAS: Do not let him escape…! Go after him, we must have the book…

DARGOR: I will return with it!

(Dargor rushes off towards Tarish)

IRAS: “As I lay wounded…

An incredible pain shooting through my head…

I saw… Dargor, struggling with Tarish

…he won!

But before dying, the elf king was able to tear some pages… out of Erian's book…

Then, everything turned… to black…”
