Lyrics for Song: Elric The Enchanter 
Lyrics for Album: Live Chronicles [2010]
  
               
  35575>The song he sang was surfaces
  Nothing deeper than a child knows
  He could sing sand into pearls
  So the saying goes
 
 
  Some said he was a sorcerer
  Or a warrior chief
  But he was the stealer of souls
  The lord of Chaos reaps
 
 
  And he's frozen in a time trap
  Slowly losing power
  And he's frightened if he makes a move
  The dream will soon turn sour
 
 
  Sprawling in a Ruby Throne
  His head cupped in his hands
  The Lord of Dragons, Elric's thoughts
  Were of quests to far-off lands
 
 
  The Black Sword was at his side
  Murmuring in its scabbard cold
  Waiting for the moment to arrive
  To drink the very essence of souls
 
 
  And he's frozen in a time trap
  Slowly losing power
  And he's frightened if he makes a move
  The dream will soon turn sour
 
 
  (guitar solo)
 
 
  BRIDGE:
  He did not know that the sword he'd hold
  Would turn his priceless empire into fool's gold
  The truth, the shadow of the sword will hide
  'Til it's too late, a traitor at his side
 
 
  And as he gazes from his ruby throne
  He's growing restless of the life he's sown
  To get away, embark on a quest
  To put his powers of sorcery to the test
 
 
  The drugs he takes to keep himself awake
  Lose their effect, he can no longer wait
  To find the sword and gain more power
  And make his move before the dream turns sour
 
 
  (FADE-OUT)
