The Sorcerer Lyrics


I. Evil Forces Of The Dark Side

Jake and Roland are roaming

Through the bleakest forest

Passing relics of bygone times

The evil forces of the dark side

Have sent out their henchmen to catch

To catch the boy with that pure shine

After dusk the companions are sitting at the fire

With a stick Jake is painting one of his visions on the ground

Without knowing it's meaning

Roland says, it's a map, his father showed him a long time ago

He's the Man In Black

Who fled across the desert

To the secret place of no return

Anguished cries, they can testify

A circle – inside all around a myriad of worlds

Outside is endless darkness

In the center of all things stands the Dark Tower

Which serves as the linchpin of time and space

And protects all

The boy begs him to protect the tower

Together they could prevail against the evil

His only aim is to kill the Sorcerer

There is no „we“ for him

And night falls

Roland suddenly awakes as Walter appears in his dreams

Walter: Everyone who walks with you dies!

Drenched in sweat he's looking around

But where is Jake?

Fearfully he begins to search for him

Dad: Jake, Jake! Hey little fellow

Where are you?

Jake: Dad? Where are you?

Dad: Hello mate!

Jake: Dad?

Dad: Long time. It's good to see you

You've grown

Jake: That isn't real!

You're...

Dad: Dead? Not here in this world!

Jake: I missed you so much!

Dad: I missed you too, Jake!

Come on, It's okay!

Let's go home!

Jake: Is it really happening?

Darkness and fire

Darkness and fire

He's the Man In Black

Who fled across the desert

To the secret place of no return

Anguished cries, they can testify

See the Man In Black

Fled across the desert

To catch the boy with that pure shine

II. Distracting Illusions

When Jake is touching his hand

A red hell opens up

At the last second he is saved by Roland

After each attack on the tower

There is a small crack

And the evil creatures of the dark try to come over

It wasn't Jakes Dad

Only distracting illusions

The Fake-Skins built a machine

That is able to convert the pure shine into a beam

That could bring the tower down

But somethings got out

The evil demon hits out at Roland

He injures him badly and dies by his hand

III. Arra

Stranger approaching

Gather round

Stranger approaching

Gather round

The Elder: Long days and pleasant nights!

Roland: May you have twice that number!

The Elder: Haven't seen one of your kind since I

Was a young man

Seeing you here alive

One of that old line

Is incredible

Roland: Who is your strongest seer?

Arra: That would be me! I'm Arra!

Roland: The boy here has visions of this place!

I need to know where it is!

Take a look at these drawings!

Arra: The Man In Black!

Arra: Jake, your shine burns so brightly!

Share your visions with me

Open up and show me

You're surrounded by magic

I can't even begin to understand

Your gift is extraordinary

And it made you see across worlds

That's why you come to find

The Man In Black and he fled to the Northern Wastelands!

In a world you do not know

Someone can here you pray

Where the truth is left untold

Roland: I need to go there

Come hell or high water

It's a long time of travel

Arra, you can get me there faster than that

I know the Sorcerer keeps track of all portal travel

But there's a way to fool him

The Fake-Skins have a base on Keystone Earth

With a portal that can take kids with that pure shine

To the machine, that could bring the tower down

You're gonna help us getting to that place!

Arra: I have read you

You're Roland Of Gilead

Last of the line of Eld!

But the Man In Black has your soul in his pocket

And your heart is consumed by vengeance

You're not a Gunslinger

Anymore!

Not anymore!

Anymore!

Roland: Only a fool would lie to a seer

But the war is over and we lost

The darkness is everywhere, all around

I was fighting to defend the tower

Before most of you were even born

Everyone who walked with me died by Walters hand

I will get my revenge

In a world you do not know

Someone can hear you pray

Where the truth is left untold

The faith is lost for all times

Just a boy with that pure shine

Reminds us in what we believe

Our chance to win this fight

The Elder: I know we agreed

We'd never use the portal

Unless the village was in danger

And even if this means the end

We can't disobey him

It's the law

Jake: I know, he's still a Gunslinger

He saved my life
