Crystal Hand

From over the sea they could see the shroud
That fell across the land ahead
They must push into the waves and brave the storm
They came from far for the Crystal Hand

Tossed and turned, in unrelenting waves
Cast into the wake, victims of the deep

Then they were taken by the sea

The moons changed the tides and ashore they came
Some still alive but most of them drowned out from the storm
Four men strong they braved the cliffs above
Slowly ascending towards the peak

Deluge of Rain, thunder from the sky
Consumed by greed, they must possess the prize

As they approached they could see its place, but in a tomb it lies

It contains the fury of the seven seas
The crystal hand it robs them of their thoughts
Unable to move, think or speak
Motionless they lie beneath the moon

Lay them to rest

Now they lay as the dusk took its hold
A chill wind creeps down from the sky
Paralyzed by the hand's evil grasp
Now they lay just to die in the night

Now they join the hordes of others who
Have tried to take the hand in their own
The only relic that can tame
The sacred power of the blade
