Rush - II Under the Shadow

Shreds of black cloud loom in overcast skies;
The Necromancer keeps watch with his magic prism eyes.
He views all his lands and is already aware -
Of the three helpless invaders trapped in his lair...

With [Riff 1] x4:

Brooding in the tower, watching o'er his lands.
Holding every creature, helplessly they stand.
Gaze into his prisms, knowing they are near.
Lead them to the dungeons.
Spectres numb with fear, they bow defeated.
