A Passage Through the Mountain
The Storyteller Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As they reached the mountain hall there was a great gate blocking their way
To shelter.
Damn! All is lost. So this would be the end of their journey? They had
Failed in their quest,
And Kail would be lost forevermore.

No, wait! Someone was opening the gate, and was letting them in. "Quick!!!
Get inside. Here you

Will be safe from all evil." Outside the gate demonic voices screamed in
Rage knowing that their
Prey just had fooled them.

But where were they? The old man in front of them looked silently at them
For a while, and then
He said: "You have entered the home of the Muhrml people, and you are most
Welcome. My name is
Darog. We know all about your quest, and if there's anything we can do to
Help, then please let me
Know."

"If it is in your powers, maybe you could help us find a path that would
Lead us through this
Mountain and to the dark land, without being discovered by the dark army?"

"Of course!" Darog said, "I'll give you our best tracker to show you the
Way. He is by far the
Best man we've got so you don't have to worry."

With torches in hand they followed Darog down to the secret passage that
Would lead them to the
Dark side. But he reminded them not to be off guard. There were all sorts of
Dangers waiting in the
Dark and one mistake could have devastating results.

Deep in the mountain in darkness and stones
Their kingdom lies there unknown
Where it's been safe from the dangers and wars
No evil can come through their doors

Oh, they promised to help us all
They would guide our way
To the end of our goal

So into the dark, on paths no one knows
He guides our way through the dangers
Beware of your steps, one fault can bring death
And all your work in vain
So follow his steps because he knows the way
That leads us safe through the shadows
So don't hesitate, just do as he says
And we all will be safe in the end

Many hours has gone since we left
In darkness, it feels like a year
But he gives us courage and strength to move on
Don't worry, well make it you'll see

Oh, this road just seems so long
But we all came this far, and we will not stop now

So into the dark...

So into the dark...
