Lament for Zecor
Zecor, my home world
Beautiful you were
Your pristine waters flowing
Like the hopes in my young heart
Beneath the gentle glow of the twin suns
The reign of an evil so extreme
Corrupted everything
Hatred took its toll
The small sun began to feed off of the larger
A malevolent haze glowed constantly in your once beautiful skies
Lost forever were you, Zecor
And lost with you was I
Unfortunate Princess Ondina
I always thought that I would never find love
Then one day love came quickly
And was as quickly taken from me
I died with you, Zecor
On the day the larger sun went nova
But my heart died at the moment
That I sent my love away
Far across the galaxy
The ghosts of Zecor still roam
Damned, restless spirits, attempting to invade
Destroying the unfortunate minds of their victims
In attempt to fulfill the insane quest of a madman
Spurred on by the vain hope of pleasing
The crone who serves the malignant master
In whose veins flows blood as cold as death
The joke will be on you when you discover
You were nothing but his pawns
I was drawn many miles from Zecor
Across time and space by a need so extreme
My love could be alone no longer
My broken heart could not resist his call
Fear not, Serab, your Ondina will never allow
You to be enslaved by the one who made the king a jester
All the riches in this world can't save you
Any more than Zecor could have been saved
The love in my heart will be your salvation
Your Ondina will not be taken from you again
Zecor is dead
But our love remains forever
For Serab
From Ondina
