Ballad of the Chosen (as sung by the children in Winterhome)

From the second book "The Ninth Talisman," incorperates what happened in the last book, "The Wizard Lord."

When day turned dark and shadows fell
Across the broken lands
And madness turned to taloned claws
Our ancient ruler's hands
Then eight were called by whims of fate
To save us from our doom
The Chosen came to guard us all
And lay evil in its tomb

[Chorus] If a Wizard Lord Lord should ever turn
Against the common man
These chosen eight would bring him down
Bring peace to Barokan!

The Leader showed his bold resolve
Confronting every foe
His words would guide the Chosen as
He told them how to go

The seer sought the comrades out
And gathered them to fight
Nor could their foeman hide from her
She has the second sight

(CHORUS)

The Swordsman's blade is swift and sure
His skill is unsurpassed
If any stood against him, then
That stand would be his last

A lovely face the Beuaty has
And shapley legs and arms
She distracted evil men
And lured them with her charms

(CHORUS)

There is no lock nor guarded door
That can stop the Thief
He penatrates the fortress dark
To bring the land relief

Every song and story told
The Scholar knows them all
He knew the wizard's weaknesses
To hasten evil's fall

(CHORUS)
The Archer's missles never miss;
His arrows find their mark
He struck at evil from afar
To drive away the dark

The Speakier harks to evey tongue,
Of stone and beast and man
She found the Dark Lord's secrets out
So no defense could stand

(CHORUS)

When in the Galbek Hills there was
A monster come in human shape
The Swordsman struck the evil down
To save the land from magic rape

And thus the last of evil's spawn
Was driven out of Barokan
Never more will madness come
To trouble Barokan

No new Wizard Lord will turn
Against the common man
These Chosen eight shall keep him wise,
Bring peace to Barokan-
Yes, the Chosen guard us all,
Brought peace to Barokan!
