about

The Marauder encounters The Scourge of the Desert, and realizes just how outmatched he truly is.

lyrics

THE SCOURGE:

You are no match for a mind such as mine - your memories and dreams are my weapons! There is nothing alive that I cannot destroy. Nothing thinks without me hearing its thoughts!

THE MARAUDER:

I feel the mind of the Great Destroyer, The Scourge of the Desert, The Dragon of Tyr! If He does not have the knowledge I seek, nothing in this world will. Hear me!

THE SCOURGE:

There are few who would seek me,
Only fools and madmen. I do not grant boons to the likes of you,
Pathetic rabble all!

You shall learn fear, mortal,
And pain
And death.
I have ravaged this world for aeons, destruction on my breath!

THE MARAUDER:

Immortal! Inescapable! Terror of Kings! Nightmare of Ages Past!

THE SCOURGE:

I will grant you this, mortal, you are not unlike me.
A mind full of power and malice, a dragon in its infancy.

There are no gods on this world, and there never shall be
Except for me.
Become my disciple, my prophet,
And all my secrets shall be yours.

You draw the life out of this world to fuel your petty magicks
I too use the lives I take, to serve a greater purpose!
I was not unlike you once, before I gained true power,
And underwent the rite that made my Form reflect my Soul.

There is a spell, a metamorphosis
That will turn your flesh to blackened scales!
A hundred years of agony and a thousand souls as tribute
To become what you've always been.

THE MARAUDER:

I can see now, what the price of this power is
I can see his memories, the face of every screaming soul he's sent
To the Grey.
His mind is an endless maze of horrors, the last scraps of his humanity are gone,
Nothing remains.
I cannot submit to join him, to twist my body into a daemon's,
All I desire now is escape.
