[00:14.28] |
once,in a land of darkness long ago |
[00:19.14] |
when all the earth was covered in darkness and shadow |
[00:24.00] |
under a spell of an evil sorceress witch, |
[00:27.79] |
the people cried for deliverance, |
[00:31.76] |
and no child was born for many a long year. |
[00:42.29] |
out of the mountains of Bothzak |
[00:44.65] |
a hero did answer their call: |
[00:47.84] |
riding forth upon his stalwart steed, |
[00:51.59] |
brandishing the heirloom of his house: |
[00:55.20] |
the jewel encrusted claymore. |
[01:09.37] |
forth he rode into the night, |
[01:11.47] |
slaying foes great and small, |
[01:14.32] |
and all evil did flee before this valiant hero |
[01:18.52] |
and the might of the jewel-encrusted claymore. |
[01:25.99] |
at last the hero came to the evil witch's realm and lo, |
[01:30.35] |
he looked upon the barren wasteland: |
[01:32.64] |
frozen and dry where no life could take hold. |
[01:38.46] |
and with his claymore he smote the witch's minions |
[01:42.62] |
and at long last stood face to face with her. |
[01:48.58] |
and he did run her through with his claymore, |
[01:51.38] |
piercing the soft flesh beneath the witch's callous exterior. |
[02:04.60] |
she gave a cry of pain and |
[02:07.60] |
yet it seemed to all that did witness |
[02:09.75] |
possibly a cry of ecstasy, as well. |
[02:15.26] |
and behold, |
[02:17.01] |
impossibly he saw that she was unharmed |
[02:19.41] |
and fair now to look upon. |
[02:23.60] |
the skies of the land opened upon the Earth |
[02:26.71] |
and life began to blood anew. |
[02:33.65] |
She looked upon him and said, |
[02:35.31] |
"Oh, most valiant of heroes, |
[02:38.25] |
thou hast delivered me from a fate worse than death. |
[02:42.76] |
Verily I beseech you, |
[02:45.66] |
wilt thou pierce me with thy jewel-encrusted claymore once more?" |
[02:53.34] |
and so he did and all the land rejoiced. |
