[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.
