"Necromongers..." I whisper as I wake.
...If I gave you the truth, would it keep you alive?...
It isn't the first time this word has clouded my mind. It is a word...a name...that haunts my dreams now. Other names haunt my dreams as well...but Necromongers...Necromongers are an army unlike any other. Crusading across the stars toward a place called UnderVerse, their promised land...a constellation of dark new worlds.
...Though I'm closer to wrong
I'm no further from right...
And if they cannot convert you, they will kill you... she has seen it.
...And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me
Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me, yeah...
The girl sees his face in the dreams too...their Lord Marshal...their leader. He alone has made a pilgrimage to the gates of the UnderVerse...and returned a different being. Stronger. Stranger. Half alive and half...something else. But he is afraid...afraid of a prediction... He consulted a seer…of sorts...thirty years ago, before he was their Lord Marshall...and was told that he would die at the hands of a Furyan.
...No there's nothing you say that can salvage the lie
But I'm trying to keep my intentions disguised...
This prediction...something now more than 30 years old...haunts the man...this silly superstitious man... Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy...the mad daughter of a wise mother...
...And now I'm deprived of my conscience and something's got to give
Deprived of my conscience
This all belongs to me, yeah...
He waged a private war on the planet Furya, killing what he could find...close to twenty five years ago. That massacre should have ended that matter, but it didn't... The Alliance came to power not long after...finished off what the Necromongers started and forced the Necromongers back... back into the deep dark depths of unchartered space...biding their time...waiting...
...The deception you show is your own parasite
Just a word of advice you can heed if you like...
And now their time is approaching...they see the chaos...see what we...what he...has done. They know the secret...know what the Alliance did...they see the upheaval...the dissent...and they are taking up arms to make their pilgrimage again...
...And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me
Convinced on the inside you're so much more than me, yeah...
But he hasn't changed. He knows...all the power in the universe can't change destiny. But he has heard of something...something that could tip the balance in his favor...a weapon to be used...and he is searching...endlessly...
...I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you...
He's searching...for me...they both are.
