(©Unleashed 1991)</p>

Stalking through the utter dark<br>
Evil eyes glow in the distance<br>
Prepared for a battle in rage<br>
The end for the cruel adventurer<br>
Blow to side – strike through eye</p>

A battle-axe wields to charge<br>
And separates head from body<br>
Darkest blood flowing free<br>
My eyes are filled with pleasure<br>
Blow to side – strike through eye</p>

A hunt for an ancient treasure<br>
No herbs to restore his life<br>
To die by an <b>orchish</b> arrow<br>
Victorious the <b>olog-hai</b><br>
Slow you'll die – the dark one smiles</p>

<b><u>Comments</b></u><br>
Artist Comment: "The first song ever made by Unleashed was 'The Dark One' on our very first album. The lyrics were all about the adventures we went through playing role-playing games of Tolkien's 'Middle Earth' at the time."</p>
