[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] Beneath the guild where silence crawls Through rotten halls and dripping walls Six shadows marched with torchlight dim Down to the crypt of eyeless kings Crystal tombs in ghostly glow Ancient horrors locked in frost and snow Dead beholders hang suspended still Watching from behind the veil [Verse 2] Viper breathes cold iron steam Grog hefts his axe for blood and scream Beroth traces forbidden flame Wizkim melts into the haze Zelprime nocks an arrow sharp and true Arius lifts his cross and prays Every heartbeat booms the name of doom Deep in Xanathar's tomb [Pre-Chorus] Nine copper urns upon the slab Dust of tyrants turned to ash Whispers breathe from hollow eyes None escape the watcher's lies [Chorus] In the Crypt of Xanathar's Past! Where the dead still hold their wrath! Eyes of madness carved in stone Guard the secrets no one owns! One false step the ray ignites! Green oblivion floods the night! Fade away without a scream Lost inside the beholder's dream! [Verse 3] The western wall began to stare Two hooded shapes were standing there Single eyes beneath the cowl Glowed like gods that should not be Wizkim found the hidden switch Silent click, rising pitch Then the maw breathed emerald fire And the whole crypt turned to wire [Verse 4] Viper leapt with draconic grace Death was written on his face Zelprime loosed three silver shafts Arius screamed the holy name Beroth stood there in the glow Then he was just gone below Where the wizard once had stood Only ash and silence stood [Pre-Chorus] Nine copper urns upon the slab Dust of tyrants turned to ash Whispers breathe from hollow eyes None escape the watcher's lies [Chorus] In the Crypt of Xanathar's Past! Where the dead still hold their wrath! Eyes of madness carved in stone Guard the secrets no one owns! One false step the ray ignites! Green oblivion floods the night! Fade away without a scream Lost inside the beholder's dream! [Bridge] He did not burn, he did not die Beroth woke on the other side Trapped between the walls of sleep Where Xanathar's forgotten secrets keep Crystal graves began to crack Ancient nightmares drifting back Floating eyes of rotten skin Breathing madness deep within [Breakdown] Dust to dust Eye to eye Ancient tyrants never die Through the slime Through the fear Xanathar is always here [Final Chorus] In the Crypt of Xanathar's Past! Through the shadows fading fast! Six stood fast against the gaze In the labyrinth of rays! When the crystal prisons break All the buried nightmares wake! And the darkness starts to sing For the glory of the Eye Tyrant King! [Outro] Far below the city stone The dead still dream beneath the throne (Instrumental Solo)
