4. Lady of the Shade (6:10)
For what seemed like time unending did I wander all alone
No sun to mark the night or day, no stars to point to home
But as if out of nowhere, a maid before me stood
In blackened cloak and blackened furs,beneath a blackened hood

Help a broken man
Tell me where I am

I'm the lady of the Shade
But I do not know my name
I've been here a thousand years,
But I still look the same

Like lightening she flew down on me with a pair of flashing blades
And ‘neath her hood both pride and anger set her eyes ablaze
I had then to defend myself with all my years of skill
And though her knife was at my throat she did not intend to kill

O fearless battle queen
Tell of all you've seen

I was once the finest thief that all the world had known
I always worked in darkness, I always worked alone

And at this time a warlock king, whose thirst for power grew
Gathered all his weapon smiths and bid them what to do

"Stoke the fires and heat the iron, bring your hammers down
And forge for me a blade of power, worthy of my crown"
Beneath a frozen mountain, this evil sword was forged
And upon lives and upon souls and upon blood it gorged

With an edge suffused with magic it could slice between the realms
And each one did this warlock king soon seek to overwhelm

[Solo: G.R.]

But the sword was stolen from him, by the girl you stand before
And in revenge he cast me down upon that ember shore

Now all the victims of that blade, their souls are trapped within
And they are bound to fight beside a man who shall be king

And if the man who holds this weapon, is of a royal line
He can open up the pathways, no longer here confined

[Solo: G.R.]

I'm the lady of the Shade
But I do not know my name
I've been here a thousand years,
But I still look the same
