lyrics

"We were attacked, on our way back
By beasts- wicked and black!
In Forsyth Forest, detached from the pack
It should have been a safe trip home

But happenstance would have us roam
We had no time to double back
It seems that trouble is our knack

My daughter and I were chased away from the group
But we weren't alone- beasts swarmed in troops
My gift held them back, and bought us time to flee
But once I'm drained I see the last thing that I want to see

Silver eyes piercing the dark of a cave
A ghastly grin brings grief rather than grave
The encounter is quick- we barely get away
But not before he hexes me and numbers my days!

This demon known as Silver- evil in breathing form
Our anguish keeps it fed, and our hatred keeps it warm
It curses us to die slow, and feeds on our despair
It longs to be stronger and in our pain we take it there

Yes, Silver the Grand Demon- a force beyond control
But if you could destroy him you would absorb a Grand Soul!
And as you know, with one of those, you get to live again
I can't pay much, but with my gift, I know that you can win!"

Sloan begs Isaac to accept this mission so far turned down
Silver is known and feared in all five Ellurian towns
Isaac wears many scars; he's seen and slain great things
But the reward is low for all the danger that it brings

"I've mauled manic mincers in a misty mine
And killed a crimson croc with sixteen eyes
But Silver is malice that walks and talks"
Isaac concludes "a grudge that stalks"

"Please" Sloan begs, "you can keep the Grand Soul
And when your life fades away, it will fill that hole
My gift will help you fight, and you can have all my gold!
If Silver dies soon then at least I can grow old"

I even begged Garth to spare a few men
But he scoffed and said not to bother him again
Sloan adds that he's the only one that his daughter's got
Isaac knows he'll help now whether he wants to or not

Isaac will help, but has a feeling in his gut
Something is wrong, but he can't figure what

"Nothing’s more important in this world
Than the wellbeing of my little girl"
“I will slay your demon and break your curse
But for better or worse, we seek the psychic first"
