Silken robes, wooden pipe in hand
Burning that sweet, sweet leaf, as the sun starts to climb
Ink, quill, and spellbook, quarterstaff in tow,
Pouched packed with potions, it’s the mage’s time to go
Secret keeper, conjurer of tricks
Never telling more than what has been asked
Mystic of mystery, watcher of the world
Forever on a journey, to peer behind the veil
Ancient terrors, corrupt souls,
Demon fire, prophecies foretold
Iron arrows flood the sky
Who will you turn to when all goes awry?
This is a reckless road, leave all doubt behind
The truths you’ll find when you walk the Way of The Wizard
Look deep within your mind, power is locked inside
You’ll find the key when you walk the Way of…
Through the winding, Misty Mountains
Beyond the red oak trees, stepping over fallen leaves
In sunken temples, solving riddles on the wall
Crawling through dungeons, drinking in dwarven halls
Searching for answers to questions no one knows
The wizard carries on, through the arctic snow
Ancient terrors, corrupt souls,
Demon fire, prophecies foretold
Distant planets, fallen stars,
Hidden meanings from afar
This is a reckless road, leave all doubt behind
The truths you’ll find when you walk the Way of The Wizard
Look deep within your mind, power is locked inside
You’ll find the key when you walk the Way of The Wizard
Ancient terrors, corrupt souls,
Demon fire, prophecies foretold
Iron arrows flood the sky
Who will you turn to when all goes awry?
This is a reckless road, leave all doubt behind
The truths you’ll find when you walk the Way of The Wizard
There is no guarantee that you will understand
All that you’ll see when you walk the Way of The Wizard
But on this pilgrimage for lost knowledge
The truths you’ll find when you walk the Way of The Wizard
