Darkwood (I. The Voyage – II. The Sea Serpent – III. The Great Oaks) Lyrics

"Come comrades, the voyage to Darkwood will be long and treacherous. Where we go from there I do not know. But the Wolf which came before me told me to set you all free and sail East. Vision or not, I trust this wolf. I know that it will guide on this path that we must tread. Now, set sail! To Darkwood!".

Feel the ocean's gaze
The home of fearsome prey
The watchers call my name
They warn to obey

Fear the lords of the Sea
There's evil in wait for me
The wolf, it stalks my dreams
It calls on me to sail forth

The moon ignites the sky,
The stars will be our guide
We'll sail on for days
To the shores of Darkwood

Row, row, row!
Onwards we row!
Row, row, row!
To Darkwood go!

The sun is rising, hope is born

Row, row, row!
Onwards we row!
Row, row, row!
To Darkwood go!

A storm is coming, carry on

"As the storm recked fear in the very souls of the crew, they knew their mission must continue, for the sake of all Andria, they must sail on!".

The storm crept through the night,
At daybreak it will strike,
Calling to the sea,
The servants of the ocean's might

A great serpent will rise,
To bring the crew's demise
A beast of ancient lore
A faithful servant hears the ocean's call

Standing here, against the wind,
No sight of land for days,
The sun, up high, above me,
Casting rays of hope and faith

The path we take upon the sea
Has watchers down beneath
The crew they look to me,
To face the beasts!

Sail into the sunset,
Beyond this mighty sea
No sight of land for days now
The hills they beckon me

Can you see the shoreline?
The wave of ancient trees?
Look now, can you see its eyes?
I tell you there's a beast, we must take flight!

A serpent twice our ship was spawned
In the age of Dragonlords
The crew gives into terror
It falls to me!

Sail into the sunset,
Beyond this mighty sea
No sight of land for days now
The hills they beckon me

Can you see the shoreline?
The wave of ancient trees?
Look now, can you see its eyes?
I tell you there's a beast of ancient might!

I drew my sword,
And faced the beast,
To die here's not my destiny

I leapt up high, with all my might
To take the dragons eyes

Blinded by my blade and might,
The serpent was cast from the light,
Yearning for an age war,
The beast will hunt no more

Destiny has set our course

The night has passed, is that the shore?
Beyond the mist a land comes forth
A wave of green and oak come clear,
Who knows what madness drives us here

Darkwood!
Mighty Darkwood!
Who knows what roams in there?

Mighty Darkwood!
Darkwood!
Who knows what roams in there?

See the great oaks of Darkwood,
Where goes, nobody dares.

The wolf and my magic drove us here
Who knows what we'll find in there

See the great oaks of Darkwood,
Where goes, nobody dares
Ancient secrets of Darkwood,
What beasts' dwell in its lairs.

"As the crew approached the shore of this desolate land, the cries of all manner of beasts can be heard from within those great oaks. Felix will search for the wolf to guide his path. But for now, all he knew was that the Witch Guthra was a poisonous fume, spreading far across the isles of Andria. She must be stopped, and he believes he might be the one to do it".

See the great oaks of Darkwood,
Where goes, nobody dares
Ancient secrets of Darkwood,
Evil dwells in there.
