THE BETRAYED

THE BETRAYED
ENGWE EMELOTH

AND WHEN THE
SNOW PRINCE
FELL TO
THE GROUND

THE ICE ELVES
DIVIDED ABOVE
AND BELOW

NOW VANQUISHED
AND BRUTALLY
BOUND

ONE MOMENT HAD
SHATTERED ALL
THEY DID KNOW


THE ONCE COOL
WIND ON THEIR
SKIN

NOW REPLACED
WITH THE HEAT
OF THE FLAME

AND A PRIDE
ONCE FELT DEEP
WITHIN

FORGOTTEN
ALONG WITH
THEIR NAME


TORN FROM
THEIR HOME OF
ICE AND FROST

THROWN INTO
THE PITCH
BLACK DREAD
OF NIGHT

LIVING IN FEAR
AS THEIR MINDS
BECOME LOST

AS THEIR EYES
BEGIN DIMMING
THE LIGHT


CHAINED AND
ENSLAVED

WHAT ONCE WAS
LIGHT TURNED
TO BLACKNESS

ALONE AND
BETRAYED

SINKING DEEPER
INTO MADNESS
