The Anrikiil Empire
Note!!! This song is a Work in Progress!
INTRO
Gather close ye folk so all may hear,
The tales of the empire’s unending might,
Whose shadows make all tremble in fear
Whose glory burns and shines beneath solar light
We speak tonight of those who forge their fate
Whose steely grip the world can’t release
The Anrikiil whose armies none can bate
The undefeated who claim by force or pease
CHORUS
The Fearsome drums of war from the dunes
Field of shining steel reflects the burning light
Their eternal chant under sun and moon
Facing every dragon, mage and knight
Banners crimson, gold and black
Summon forth their endless might
Children of War, the Conquering Anrikiil
They overtake every challenge, climb every height
For the Kalkairo! For the Empire! For Victory!
VERSE 1
From the sun scorched plains and jade shores
From mountains great and chasms steep
Rise men of strength all trained for war
And leaders of intellect and wisdom so deep
They stand upon the lands they’ve claimed
Upon runic keeps, towers and walls of stone
With many great beasts and powers tamed
Beyond all other nations their might had grown
With the mental clarity and hearts of flame
Great strength in unity, the many as one
Strength through diversity with goals the same
Their majestic force has never been outdone
CHORUS
The Fearsome drums of war from the dunes
Field of shining steel reflects the burning light
Their eternal chant under sun and moon
Facing every dragon, mage and knight
Banners crimson, gold and black
Summon forth their endless might
Children of War, the Conquering Anrikiil
They overtake every challenge, climb every height
For the Kalkairo! For the Empire! For Victory!
VERSE 2
Their strategy evolves upon their scrolls
Read their foe’s mind and blade before it falls
Perceive your weakness, your fears your soul
They charge forth to pierce your every wall
In shining gilded plate they bear down hell
Single battles lost are mere tactics to learn
Growing ever wiser then ring foe’s knell
Twice as formidable they return
As forces march and ride and wade
Instruments of war, runes and magic stride
The wyverns dive unhindered by man’s blade
Bearing the sacred wings to victory we ride
CHORUS
The Fearsome drums of war from the dunes
Field of shining steel reflects the burning light
Their eternal chant under sun and moon
Facing every dragon, mage and knight
Banners crimson, gold and black
Summon forth their endless might
Children of War, the Conquering Anrikiil
They overtake every challenge, climb every height
For the Kalkairo! For the Empire! For Victory!
VERSE 3
An army crafted and built on strength and skill
Bearing golden power shone upon their helm
With woven spells command sky and hill
All powers cease their siege upon our realm
With sacred wisdom and dragon’s guidance
The emperor stands greatest in all the land
All shogun kneel and stand in abidance
Under them their empire shall forever stand
No matter the race nor creed nor birth
Through loyalty and strength your virtues show
Then rise you shall and prove your worth
For the wise and strong vanquish every foe
CHORUS
The Fearsome drums of war from the dunes
Field of shining steel reflects the burning light
Their eternal chant under sun and moon
Facing every dragon, mage and knight
Banners crimson, gold and black
Summon forth their endless might
Children of War, the Conquering Anrikiil
They overtake every challenge, climb every height
For the Kalkairo! For the Empire! For Victory!
Ashara Zinrieth
Note!!! This song is a Work in Progress!
(Intro)
Hark, good folk, and lend an ear,
From distant lands, a tale I bear!
Of Elven grace and wizard's might,
Who brought a new dawn from darkest night!
So gather close, by hearth and fire,
And listen to my humble lyre,
Of Ashara Zinrieth, proud and keen,
The greatest sorceress ever seen!
(Verse 1)
In ages past, when magic's flame,
Was met with fear and whispered blame,
The Lithians lived, a gentle folk,
But persecution rose & peace had broke.
For wizardry was deemed a curse,
And mages hunted, for better or worse,
Their ancient lore, their mystic art,
Tore at the kingdom's very heart.
Then stepped forth Ashara, clear and bright,
A beacon in the gathering night,
With eyes of wisdom, ancient, deep,
A solemn promise she did keep.
(Chorus)
Zinrieth her name etched in the sky!
Bound by neither time nor fate up high!
Magic’s highest peak & Zenith of the Sky!
Her wisdom grand all dark she did defy!
For 2,000 years she reigned in glory bright!
The mage of legend shimmered through the night
(Verse 2)
Through cunning mind and artful hand,
She spun illusions o'er the land.
While jealous eyes were turned away,
She worked her wonders, night and day.
With whispered words and woven spell,
She cast a great power, and silence fell,
For earthly bonds, for gravity's hold,
A sight more wondrous than stories told!
A mighty chunk of earth and stone,
Above the green, began to groan,
Then slowly, surely, it did rise,
A floating kingdom in the skies!
(Verse 3)
Upon this isle, she built anew,
A society, honest, fair, and true.
Where every soul found joy and rest,
And freedom put to its highest test.
No iron rule, no tyrant's ire,
But common good, a sacred fire.
She fostered learning, bold and vast,
Ensuring peace was built to last.
And when her people needed more,
She'd coax new earth from ocean's shore,
To graft it on, with magic's grace,
Expanding their celestial space.
(Chorus)
Ashara Zinrieth her name etched in the sky!
Bound by neither time nor fate up high!
Magic’s highest peak & Zenith of the Sky!
Her wisdom grand all dark she did defy!
For 2,000 years she reigned in glory bright!
The mage of legend shimmered through the night
(Verse 4)
Her influence spread, a gentle tide,
To other lands, far and wide.
She showed the world, with grace and truth,
That magic was a fount of youth,
Of progress, light, and open mind,
For all the good of humankind.
But envy stirred in kingly hearts,
And plots were hatched, with cruelest arts.
Great armies marched, with banners high,
To bring the Sky-Isle from the sky!
But Ashara stood, with loyal hand,
Her volunteer-folk, throughout the land,
With blinding light and subtle snare,
They scattered foes and cleared the air!
(Verse 5)
Yet grander threats upon her fell,
From deepest abyss, from darkest hell.
The demon horde, with fiery breath,
Prepared to bring the world to death!
But Ashara saw with foresight's gleam,
She turned aside the horrid dream.
She sealed the rift, ere it could burst,
And saved the realm, from being cursed.
When scaled beasts roared, and giants strode,
Upon her path, a heavy load,
She met them on the battle bright,
And broke their fury, quelled their might!
(Chorus)
Ashara Zinrieth her name etched in the sky!
Bound by neither time nor fate up high!
Magic’s highest peak & Zenith of the Sky!
Her wisdom grand all dark she did defy!
For 2,000 years she reigned in glory bright!
The mage of legend shimmered through the night
(Verse 6)
A Lich, whose dark soul held such sway,
She sought out and shattered, turned night to day
To lands long shadowed, cold and grim,
Rescued from death's eternal whim.
An Arch-Fae's wit, a cunning test,
She faced and won, their challenge met.
With riddle won, spirit bright and free,
She outmatched even suns sire Folree!
And for her deeds, so wise and great,
Beyond the grasp of mortal fate,
The Gods themselves, from Heavens high,
Bestowed a blessing from the sky!
(Verse 7)
Two thousand years, her reign did gleam,
A longer life than man could dream.
She found the secrets, pure and deep,
While mortal kings would fall asleep.
She watched her people grow and thrive,
A living legacy, kept alive.
Her island flourished, strong and free,
A model for prosperity.
At last, content, her work complete,
She left this realm, on gentle feet.
To higher planes, her spirit soared,
Her name forevermore adored!
(Chorus)
Ashara Zinrieth her name etched in the sky!
Bound by neither time nor fate up high!
Magic’s highest peak & Zenith of the Sky!
Her wisdom grand all dark she did defy!
For 2,000 years she reigned in glory bright!
The mage of legend shimmered through the night
(Outro)
So raise your cups, let voices ring!
To Ashara, let the bards now sing!
The Mage-Queen wise, the Seventh Star,
Her legend shines, where'er you are!
For in her light, the world now knows,
Her legacy non can interpose!

The Pirate King
Note!!! This song is a Work in Progress!
VERSE 1
Young Jack Bones was a boy with empty hands.
Just a farmer’s son with nothing but dreams.
Adventures on seas, traveling to distant lands.
Fleeing home with glowing joy he beams.
Towards his quest and dreams of freedom grand.
VERSE 2
He met a street rat who knew well the trade.
They spoke together of ships and silver bright.
Together stole a fisher’s ship without aid.
As they sailed out from the fading lights.
With patience, cunning and luck they’d raid.
REFRAIN
Hoist the Colors let the Cannons Roar!
We follow Alda'Vinya's Rolling Tide!
The Pirate King will Always Soar!
Shout the Name Jack Bones with Pride!
In a World where the Free Rule Every Shore!
VERSE 3
Many sacked navy privateers all lacking cheer.
All watched Jack’s every raid and gain.
They approached with the intent to cohere.
They pirated a navy vessel, soldiers cry in vain.
As the newly formed crew sailed off the pier.
VERSE 4
Under Jack’s clever lead they raided every ship.
Took from them gems and coins of golden hew.
Freed many slaves and threw away the whip.
Carried to safety while many joined his crew.
And formed his fleet behind his flagship.
REFRAIN
Hoist the Colors let the Cannons Roar!
We follow Alda'Vinya's Rolling Tide!
The Pirate King will Always Soar!
Shout the Name Jack Bones with Pride!
In a World where the Free Rule Every Shore!
VERSE 5
He fooled them all back at the gallows.
Both diversion and show on the grand scale.
He raided and sacked many coasts and shallows.
Tricked the sea hag to hear the sea’s hail.
His tales scared foes down to the marrow.
VERSE 6
The Anrikiil he forced into a stalemate.
The Noltivani convoy his fleet took at night.
Traded navy for his life to the Kraken as bait.
Sailed resistance through great storms of plight.
Through it all he laughs in joy & charts his fate!
REFRAIN
Hoist the Colors let the Cannons Roar!
We follow Alda'Vinya's Rolling Tide!
The Pirate King will Always Soar!
Shout the Name Jack Bones with Pride!
In a World where the Free Rule Every Shore!
VERSE 7
Jack alone charted the vast unknown seas.
Hearing tales of the missing island he sails.
He bribes the Fae who grant him hints with glee.
Till he found the island under moon so pale.
The Pirate King rules his nation of the free!
VERSE 8
Under Pirate code they raided every shore.
Nations paid him away and struck many deals.
Slave’s savior he broke all shackles they wore.
They sought his island but it remained concealed.
Bane of the Navy, to the King of the Free we pour!
REFRAIN
Hoist the Colors let the Cannons Roar!
We follow Alda'Vinya's Rolling Tide!
The Pirate King will Always Soar!
Shout the Name Jack Bones with Pride!
In a World where the Free Rule Every Shore!
In a World. Where the Free, Rule Every Shore!
The Underdeep
Note!!! This song is a Work In Progress!
CHORUS
Far Beneath, the, sun. Where the shadows, creep.
A Silent world, so, dark, and, deep.
The underground, where. Evil secrets, seep.
It hungers for, your, soul, it shall keep.
It’s treasures echo, loud. Calling out, your, name.
Drawn by greed, love of gold, to the flame.
Where the shadows, dance. And the Whispers claim.
You’ll find their twisted, world, down below in Hollowdeep.
VERSE 1
With tales of dwarven strength, you think it safe, beneath.
Yet there’s no safe, haven there, where darkness seethe.
Where the hunters roam, the ones who strip, the, bone.
Silent wars, waged, on, for the throne.
And the dragons ire, falling stone, and, fire.
No one’s life, is, safe, from the pyre.
CHORUS
Far Beneath, the, sun. Where the shadows, creep.
A Silent world, so, dark, and, deep.
The underground, where. Evil secrets, seep.
It hungers for, your, soul, it shall keep.
It’s treasures echo, loud. Calling out, your, name.
Drawn by greed, love of gold, to the flame.
Where the shadows, dance. And the Whispers claim.
You’ll find their twisted, world, down below in Hollowdeep.
VERSE 2
Deeper in, the, dark. Where the shadows, weave.
The silent citadels of spires, where the light grieves.
Those banished traitors low, and those who hid, below.
Now in the dark, they, thrive, their dark glory grows.
Crueler powers, reign, abyssal fires, raise.
Forbidden arts, Seize the Heart, Tear souls apart.
CHORUS
Far Beneath, the, sun. Where the shadows, creep.
A Silent world, so, dark, and, deep.
The underground, where. Evil secrets, seep.
It hungers for, your, soul, it shall keep.
It’s treasures echo, loud. Calling out, your, name.
Drawn by greed, love of gold, to the flame.
Where the shadows, dance. And the Whispers claim.
You’ll find their twisted, world, down below in Hollowdeep.
VERSE 3
In the darkest, Pits. Where even they, dread, to tread.
In the realms where no sane steps, where Madness spreads.
Creatures dwell, below. To whom all Lords, are, foal.
For them to break, mold and own, their stolen soul.
Where darkest secrets, hide. Horrors lurk, behind.
A world beyond, mortal mind. In this we are, aligned.
Into the dark, your soul is lost, in Hollowdeep!
CHORUS
Far Beneath, the, sun. Where the shadows, creep.
A Silent world, so, dark, and, deep.
The underground, where. Evil secrets, seep.
It hungers for, your, soul, it shall keep.
It’s treasures echo, loud. Calling out, your, name.
Drawn by greed, love of gold, to the flame.
Where the shadows, dance. And the Whispers claim.
You’ll find their twisted, world, down below in Hollowdeep.
Zashen Khitemera
Note!!! This song is a Work in Progress!
INTRO
The age of darkness left a great stain
A great chasm of years we can’t conceive
We stood on kingdoms built again
Yet little room there’d be to grieve
So gather kindred, hear the tale
Of the Eternal Undying Tyrant
Against his will we seemed so frail
“Zashen Khitemera” Zaelrithan still chant
VERSE 1
While they spoke of age torn from the mind,
Of silent ruins and unspoken fears,
A cruel seed in the shadows was designed,
His intellect whose strings make the world veer,
The Zaelthrin child with soulless eyes so deep,
Watched as mortal folly swelled the land,
He knew well what their betrayal would reap,
He foresaw the war to start by dagger in hand.
Reading far the threads of inevitable fate,
He warned them the consequences they face,
He spoke of fears that rise to despair and hate,
And that chaos shalt rid of all life without trace,
Yet they cast his chants of warnings dire,
And laughed and mocked the shadows he saw,
So Zashen withdrew to shadow to spare the pyre,
Through his black hand enforce his heartless law.
PRE-CHORUS
In mortal hands all would cease to be
So the Dark Lord fulfilled his Mastery
While that vile spark ignites the greatest war
The strong and wise in dark drawn before
With his newfound risen power and iron hold
Zashen weaves his will to shape the world.
CHORUS
Oh Zashen Khitemera the Dark Lord
His will and word the blackest sword
He read the flowing current of time
Brought all to kneel to their chilling prime
Bearing Blackened Crown of shadows
All mortals fall for his legions outgrow
The unmatched mastermind of dread
Highest overlord of the undead
VERSE 2
Behind the screams and cries of Bloodshed
He wove the plots and tapestry of their doom
He grew his reach controlling all their threads
Dark foresight would drag all toward their tomb
The Dark Lord waited till chaos reached it’s crest
Until his shadows reached the farthest ends
His hidden blade poised over heart and exposure
With dark powers to make legions ascend
To coldest tongue the warring world did fall
The earth shook and magic raged at his behest
Shadows slayed and all armies fell to his thrall
In temples all relics his forces had acquest
Great fortresses crack and crumble to his call
Every nation fell to betrayal and shadows deep
Once great respected leaders dragged into his hall
As his dark palace rose his dark powers seep
PRE-CHORUS
He brought no sweet freedom nor offer any choice,
Only the shackles of order silencing every voice,
He bound the flames of chaos tight in cold chains,
And set his cruel law whilst gripping the world’s reins
The great Zashen Khitemera ceased the end’s advance
The great tyrant’s rule withered all trace of esperence
CHORUS
Oh Zashen Khitemera the Dark Lord
His will and word the blackest sword
He read the flowing current of time
Brought all to kneel to their chilling prime
Bearing Blackened Crown of shadows
All mortals fall for his legions outgrow
The unmatched mastermind of dread
Highest overlord of the undead
VERSE 3
The Dark Lord bore his crown of darkest night
All watched in dread as he denied death his soul
Under crimson moon and power and ancient rite
He arose the greatest of all undead with true control
To mortal horror the eternal tyrant laughed at death
He broke the gods ancient law and cycle’s chain
The overlord unbound suffocated every breath
Across three thousand vast dark years he’ll reign
His dark peace hung overhead like silent dread
This fleeting world slain and remade to last
Under cold iron grip, decree and legion dead
His eternal plan from foresight vast held fast
The nine great lords underneath did he raise
With hearts of greed and pride yet stronger minds
He paved the road beyond our sight for unseen days
A woven fate of great design he had outlined
PRE-CHORUS
Then under the sun-like moon with light’s return
From slave to lord without dispute we did discern
The Dark Lord no longer dwelt within this place
His dark majesty had vanished without a trace
In his absence his empire peacefully drifted apart
Not unto chaos but diversity did our new world start
CHORUS
Oh Zashen Khitemera the Dark Lord
His will and word the blackest sword
He read the flowing current of time
Brought all to kneel to their chilling prime
Bearing Blackened Crown of shadows
All mortals fall for his legions outgrow
The unmatched mastermind of dread
Highest overlord of the undead
