lyrics

A crown of bones
Atop an ancient skull
Within his tome
Incantations to seal your soul

He holds the chalice
Of life divine
The essence of all that was gifted
From the beginning of time
Ancient perversion
Of god and man
He has risen from the ashes
Usurped the throne
And claimed this land

Green Lich
The Green Lich
Emerald Wizard
The Green Lich
Green Lich

For thousands of years
An eon or two
He studied the spells
Learning how to
Cheat death itself and rule with an iron fist

A master arcane
He slowly became
While he hid in the depths of the land of the dead
Breaking the seals and unearthing the forbidden texts

Unknown to him
The cost of it all
Racking up debt
Further digging his hole
Blinded by greed
By the end it was all he could see

When he finally found
The key to it all
The spell that would finally unlock his soul
He looked at himself and didn’t recognize a thing

A pile of bones wearing tattered cloak
A misty green hue had become his shadow
Whoever he met would only greet him
With a scream

To the world he proclaimed,
“Is that what you see?
A monster enshrouded by green energy?
If that’s what you want, then that’s what I’ll be!
I finally found my destiny.”

And havoc he wreaked
With the magic he learned
Village and city
To the ground they were burned
Thousands succumbed
To the wrath
Of the Emerald Wizard

The Green Lich
Emerald Wizard
The Green Lich

Green Lich

Inevitably
A hero arose
To track down the Lich with the magic he knows
And avenge the bloodshed the beast left in its wake

Easy to say
Much harder done
Where to begin?
Which direction to run?
Confidently, he rides
Into the sun
Into the sun
