(©Running Wild 1985)</p>

In the centre of the empire of darkness<br>
Black fortress stands might and proud<br>
The shelter for the traced and tortured<br>
For the one who's damned<br>
A dragon is watching for fortress<br>
Black knights are controlling the land<br>
To save their proteges from torment<br>
They fight to defend<br>
Rancour, against all raiders<br>
Beware, if you're renegade's hunter<br>
Watch out in slough's haze<br>
Vigilance, 'cause death waits<br>
Recourse, to the traced<br>
Be calm, they'll give you shelter<br>
Restless, they fight for freedom<br>
Never, they don't let you fall</p>

Mordor</p>

A shoal of the knights of torture<br>
Are hunting a witch to the dell<br>
Sullen shades are raiding their squad<br>
Church's minions fell<br>
A black knight leads through the mire<br>
And in mordor she finds a new life<br>
A life without pain and torment<br>
No murder, no lies<br>
Rancour, against all raiders<br>
Beware, if you're renegade's hunter<br>
Watch out in slough's haze<br>
Vigilance, 'cause death waits<br>
Recourse, to the traced<br>
Be calm, they'll give you shelter<br>
Restless, they fight for freedom<br>
Never, they don't let you fall</p>

Mordor</p>
