Am              G            F                  Am 
Along a road in Hardorn, the place called Stony Tor 
  C               G             Dm      Am     G 
A fearful band of farmers flees karsite border war 
  Am               G              Dm                 G 
A frighted band of farmers, their children and their wives 
     F      Am     G                F         G          Am 
Seek refuge from a tyrant who wants more than just their lives 

    C               D           C                     G 
Now up rides Herald Vanyel "Why then such haste" says he 
    C              G         F            C 
Now who is it persuing,who's anger do you flee? 
C              G           C        G 
You are all of Hardorn why seek you Valdemar? 
   F      C  D              F            G       Am 
Is Festil no protection nor bide all his men too far? 

   Am             G          F                Am 
Oh Vanyel, Herald Vanyel, We flee now for our lives 
     Am                   G       Dm                G 
Lord Nedran would enslave us, our childeren and our wives 
     Am                G           Dm            G 
He'd give our souls to demons, our bodies to his men 
     F      Am      G            F       G      Am 
King Festil has not heeded or he happens not to ken 

    C                D           C             G 
Now up speaks Herald Vanyel,"The border is not far" 
    C              G            F           C 
But you are all fo Hardorn, and not of Valdemar 
C                     G          C               G 
You are not Rendale's people can call not on his throne 
    F         C      D               F        G       Am 
But damned if I will see you left so helpless on your own 

   Am                G           F              Am 
So forth goes Herald Vanyel, and onward does he ride 
   Am                 G     Dm             G 
On Stony Tor he waits then, Yfandes at his side 
     Am           G               Dm                G 
With Nedran's men approaching, he calls out from on high 
    F         Am         G             F         G       Am 
You shall not pass, Lord Nedran, nay I shall not let you by 

    C           D             C                 G 
Now only Herald Vanyel stands blocking Nedran's way 
    C                 G             F                C 
Now who are you, fool nothing, that dares to tell me nay 
    C                G           C                  G 
Now up speaks Herald Vanyel, his voice like brittle glass 
    F      C           D               F     G         Am 
The Herald Mage called Vanyel and says I you shall not pass 

    Am                      G       F                Am 
Now there stands great Lord Nedran, behind him forty men 
     Am                  G       Dm               G 
With wizard there beside him, he pales and speaks again 
   Am             G           Dm                 G 
So you are Herald Vanyel this place is not your land 
   F       Am     G              F    G          Am 
So heed me Herald Vanyel and now turn aside your hand 

    Am               G          F                Am 
Let be I'll give you silver and I shall give you gold 
    Am               G                        Dm         G 
And I shall give you jewels fair that sparkle bright and bold 
    Am               G           Dm               G 
And I shall give you pearls, all treasures of the sea 
   F             Am    G            F          G        Am 
If you will turn aside here leaving these poor fools to me 

     C              D           C             G 
What need have I of silver with sweet Yfandes here 
    C              G          F                   C 
And all the gold I cherish is sunlight bright and clear 
    C            G            C                  G 
The only jewel I treasure's a bright and shining star 
F     C       D                 F        G     Am 
I protect all helpless not just those of Valdemar 

    Am               G       F                Am 
Now I shall give you beauty, women slaves and men 
    Am               G            Dm            G 
And I shall give you power you'll never see again 
    Am               G            Dm               G 
And I shall give you mansions and I shall give you land 
   F             Am         G    F         G        Am 
If you will turn aside this day, aside and hold you hand 

    C              D          C              G 
Now beauty held in bondage is beauty that is lost 
    C                       G           F               C 
And land and mansions blood bought come too high at the cost 
    C            G            C          G 
The power I have already, all power is a jade 
   F       C         D            F      G       Am 
So turn ye back Lord Nedran if of me you are afraid 

     Am               G             F               Am 
Lord Nedran backs his stailion, his wizard he comes nigh 
   Am                G           Dm               G 
Prepare youself bold Vanyel, for you shall surely die 
    Am               G           Dm        G 
The wizard calls his demons, the demons he commands 
    F       Am     G           F      G     Am 
And Vanyel, Herald Vanyel only raises empty hands 

    Am               G           F               Am 
The wizard calls his demons, the sky above turns black 
    Am               G          Dm                    G 
The demons strike at Vanyel, he stands and holds them back 
    Am               G            Dm                  G 
The demons strike at Vanyel, they strike and hurt him sore 
    F      Am     G            F         G          Am 
But Vanyel stands defiantly to raise his hands once more 

    Am         G                 F          Am 
The sky itself desends now, upon bare Stony Tor 
    Am              G           Dm              G 
Now hides the awful battle, the watchers see no more 
    Am               G           Dm                G 
The wizard shouts in triuph, too soon he vents his mirth 
    F      Am        G                  F          G      Am 
For Vanyel calls the lightning down and smites him to the earth 

    Am                   G          F               Am 
The clouds of black have lifted and there on barren ground 
       Am               G           Dm              G 
Stands Vanyel, hurt yet victor, the demons tied and bound 
   Am                 G           Dm                 G 
He looks down at Lord Nedran, his eyes grow cold and bleak 
    F       Am       G              F          G   Am 
Now I shall give you Nedran all the power that you seek 

Am               G          F                   Am 
Vanyel frees the demons and Nedran screams with fear 
   Am               G            Dm                    G 
He sets them on the Karsites who first had broght them here 
   Am               G            Dm             G 
He sets them on the Karsites and on the Karsite land 
     F         Am      G               F      G          Am 
They look down on Lord Nedran and they do not stay there hand 

C                D            C                 G 
Vanyel calls the farmers, "Go tell you near and far" 
    C                   G           F          C 
How thus are served the tyrants who would take Valdemar 
  C              G             C        G 
I am the bane of demons, their quarry I defend 
     F      C       D               F      G      Am 
Thus Herals serve a foeman and thus Herald save a friend
