It seems that "When Darkness ..." ends around the 6 minute point. The rest consists of a bit of silence (a little over a minute), followed by about 5 minutes of samples. I assume it's meant to be a hidden track.
1) [intro]
2:35, lyrics:
Back in the days when kings and queens ruled like gods and the earth was only but a child, the greed for riches and the lust for power gripped the land. Far in the northern realm, there lived a wretched king whose fearlessness drove his warmongering knights to unchallenged hatred, looting and pillaging the nearby villages at will. The ground bled as starving peasants cried out in anguish. Some fought back but to no avail. Resistance was futile as death was their only reward. Hope was lost.
2) Foretold Gathering
7:45, lyrics unknown
3) The Awakening
6:06, lyrics unknown
4) I Walk Among the Dead
9:00, lyrics unknown
5) When Darkness Fails to Fall
12:14, partial lyrics:
(samples from the movie "The Legend of Boggy Creek")
I was thinking about it today when I decided to drive out to our old home place, now run down and abandoned. Standing out in this field, it all comes rushing back. And an icy tingle starts down my spine when I recall that terrible, lonesome cry. [sound effects]
It was so long ago that it seems incredible the creature is still out there somewhere right this minute, maybe even watching me. Of course, you may not believe that, or any of this story. You may think the whole thing is a hoax. And that's your privilege. But if you're ever driving down in our country along about sundown, keep an eye on the dark woods as you cross the Sulphur River Bottoms, and you may catch a glimpse of a huge, hairy creature watching you from the shadows.
Yes, he's still here. And you know, I'd almost like to hear that terrible cry again, just to be reminded that there is still a bit of wilderness left. And there are still mysteries that remain unsolved, and strange, unexplained noises in the night. [sound effects]
"This is where the story plays / A world on which we seldom gaze
A page from the book of yesterdays / Of birds and beasts and winds and water
Here beneath the bright blue sky / No man’s poke blinds the eagle’s eye
And things that crawl or swim or fly / Eat and breed and live and die
Here the sulfur river flows, / Rising when the storm cloud blows.
And this is where the creature goes, / Safe within a world he knows.
Perhaps he dimly wonders why, / There is no other such as I.
To touch, to love, before I die, / To listen to my lonely cry."
Where he searches, where he goes, / this, of course, nobody knows.
But once you've heard his lonely cry, / you can guess the reason why.
Whether he's a beast or man, / what drives him wandering across the land?
His love for others of his clan, / and loneliness, he cannot stand.
"Perhaps he dimly wonders why, / There is no other such as I.
To touch, to love, before I die, / To listen to my lonely cry."
