Epilogue
Force / Jarboe Lyrics

Wake up! Wake up!
Become aware and alert!

Time is of the essence! I must entrust you with what little I know before
There is little time left, and I must share my limited knowledge with you

Before I must depart. There may be a time where our paths cross again
I must leave now, but we may meet again in the future

But for now, you must only listen and heed
For now, you must simply listen and obey

There is, still hope. There are a few that remain
Hope still exists, as there are a few survivors

A few who can still bring order to the chaos, light to dark, turn despair into glory
These survivors have the power to restore order, bring light to darkness, and turn despair into triumph

The elder wizards once knew of the prophecies
The ancient wizards were aware of the prophecies

They are inscribed in riddles and serpent tongue
The prophecies are written in cryptic language and symbolism

In the ancient forgotten tomes in the deepest of the arcane libraries of Winterreach
The prophecies are found in old, neglected books in the most hidden libraries of Winterreach

I have seen them with my own eyes!
I have personally witnessed these prophecies

I tried to decipher the ancient conundrums and incantations
I attempted to solve the mysteries and spells of the past

I tried so hard! But for every secret that was
I exerted great effort, but for every secret I unveiled

Unravelled before my eyes, two more stood at my doorstep
Two new mysteries appeared, just as I solved one

For what seemed like aeons I worked relentlessly
I dedicated countless ages to my work without rest

I was at the brink of madness many a time
I was on the verge of insanity numerous occasions

And almost succumbed to the arcane forces unleashed
I nearly fell victim to the unleashed powers of magic

One day, I finally found myself on the verge of
Eventually, I reached the brink of

Unfolding monumental mysteries, when, when they
Unraveling the immense secrets, when, when suddenly

And now, the have abolished me! The Arcane Tribunal deemed my studies
But now, they have rejected and banned me! The Arcane Tribunal declared my research

Wretched and vile! Curse them! Let the wrath of the
As wretched and disgusting! I curse them! May the anger of

Netherrealm be upon their creaking bones!
The Netherrealm consume their decaying bodies!

I have not devoted my life to mundane sorcery to please cowards and weaklings!
I did not dedicate my life to ordinary magic to satisfy the feeble-minded and fearful!

We must proceed with what has begun
We must continue with what we have started

The wheels of fate are already spinning and we cannot bide any longer
Destiny is already in motion, and we cannot wait any longer

We are on our own, and splendor shall follow in our wake
We are alone in this, and greatness will follow us

So now, hearken, ever since the order of the Seven Flames perished
So listen now, ever since the Seven Flames organization was destroyed

And the Dragon Fathers forgathered in the Gharad Mountains
And the Dragon Fathers gathered in the Gharad Mountains

They are, albeit mighty beyond mortal comprehension
They are incredibly powerful, surpassing mortal understanding

The only thing that now stands in the way of the brooding calamity in Khrond
They are the only thing preventing the impending disaster in Khrond

And the only solace to the people of the Twilight Kingdoms
And the only hope for the inhabitants of the Twilight Kingdoms

A bleak comfort indeed
An uncertain reassurance

The life force in the Glades of Lithe are already dwindling
The energy in the Glades of Lithe is diminishing

And the octarine luster in the Forest of Destiny is waning
And the vibrant glow in the Forest of Destiny is fading

I have beheld it, and I have felt it
I have witnessed it and experienced it

It will soon be upon us
The calamity will arrive soon

The prophecies however, spoke of the crystal bearers
But the prophecies mentioned the existence of crystal bearers

Chosen heroes of starlight born for the glory of the kingdoms
Selected heroes born under celestial signs destined to bring glory to the kingdoms

The guardians of man, elf and dwarf and the protectors of the realms
Protectors of humans, elves, and dwarves, safeguarding the realms

They shall rise when time are dire
They will emerge when the situation is dire

And come bearing arcane light and the wrath of dragons
They will arrive wielding both magical power and the fury of dragons

One hero shall arise from every kingdom
A hero will emerge from each kingdom

And with him, a celestial crystal echoing his name
Accompanied by a celestial crystal resonating with his name

They are the Twilight Force
Together, they comprise the Twilight Force

They remain nameless throughout the grimoires and tomes
Their names are not mentioned in any of the spellbooks and ancient books

And none speak of their whereabouts or origin
No one knows where they are or where they came from

I have searched far and wide, over mountains and seas
I have extensively searched across mountains and seas

Through the voids of Magicka and the voices of time
I even explored the realms of magic and the echoes of history

And finally, I now know, I have seen their visions, and I have felt their presence
But now, I have the knowledge, I have witnessed their visions, and sensed their existence

One is a wood elf, a swift and cunning woodland ranger
One of them is a wood elf, an agile and clever forest scout

With his heart in the trees and his spirit on the seas
His heart belongs to the trees, and his spirit is connected to the seas

Another is the one rightful heir to the Emerald Throne
Another is the true successor to the Emerald Throne

A gallant and mighty warrior on his path to his destiny
A brave and powerful warrior on his journey towards his fate

A boy at mind, and a true king at heart
He may be young in mind, but possesses the qualities of a true king

The third is a venerable forest whisperer
The third is a wise communicator with the forest

A mystic herbalist with the gift of beast speech
A mystical herbalist with the ability to communicate with animals

The fourth is a half-elf of clandestine nature
The fourth is a secretive half-elf

With an obsidian will and a silent mind, he is the shadow death
Possessing an unyielding determination and a quiet mind, he embodies the dark essence of death

The fifth is an enigma indeed
The fifth is truly a mysterious being

I had trouble discerning his life force through my visions
I struggled to understand his essence in my visions

And I was transfixed by the power of his spirit
I was captivated by the strength of his soul

I felt surges of malicious contempt, as well as waves
I sensed both malevolent hostility and powerful waves

Of cosmic insight and primordial wisdom
Of profound cosmic understanding and ancient knowledge

A truly intriguing being of eldritch descent
An incredibly fascinating being of mysterious origins

And, my friend, I, unbeknownst to me until the last full moon is the last crystal bearer
And, my friend, I discovered recently under the full moon that I am the final crystal bearer

That is why I now, in the eleventh hour, come to you
That is why I am now approaching you at this critical moment

I must seek out the bearers, and the crystals must be unearthed
I need to find the other bearers and uncover the crystals

And you, must in return to fulfill your oaths
And in return, you must fulfill your promises

The Knights of Twilight's Might must gather and rise
The powerful Knights of Twilight's Might must come together and stand tall
