Shells of the Past (Remastered)
The history lesson of the album: long before us, the dragons ruled Teladrimm from Vraktimore. It's the setting's past catching up with our party, with a warning about the wizard in his tower that we probably should have taken more seriously.
In the land of Teladrimm
Many years ago
The dragons ruled there beautiful
Atop their mountains gold
They built cities like we'd only dream
They raised their families there
From Vraktimore they ruled the roost
And all were treated fair
Save the children, bring them home
Find it in your heart
Think of their parents, facing death
Gave all to save their start
Beware the wizard and his grasp
From his tower of stone
To find the power need to cast
The dragons from their throne
The day of doom befell them all
Elderbane it fell
Sundered magic, dragons died
Then came the hordes of hell
Save the children, bring them home
Find it in your heart
Think of their parents, facing death
Gave all to save their start
The tragedy, though, often missed
Was not the ones who died
But the infant dragonkind who
Inside shells they hide
Centuries passed, still they slept
Slowly turned to stone
Few still living, love bereft
Scattered far from home
Save the children, bring them home
Find it in your heart
Think of their parents, facing death
Gave all to save their start
Even now, they're sacrificed
Power hoped to gain
When the strong want power more
The innocent feel pain
Why must the innocent feel pain?
It isn't right
