Now! Let ArnoCorps tell you of the days of HIGH ADVENTURE!

A standard or symbol, perhaps on a shield. Two snakes together, facing each other. Crush your enemies, see them driven before you! Hear the lamentation of their women!

Crom! Strong! On! His mountain! Crom! Strong! On! His mountain! Crom! Strong! On! His mountain! Crom! Strong! On! His mountain!

My father died for the riddle of steel. From gods of the sky, darkness of chaos. Crush your enemies, see them driven before you! Hear the lamentation of their women!

Crom! Strong! On! His mountain! Crom! Strong! On! His mountain! Crom! Strong! On! His mountain! Crom! Strong! On!

Crom laughs at your Four Winds, he laughs from his mountain. I seldom pray, he doesn’t listen. Crush your enemies, see them driven before you! Hear the lamentation of their women!

Grant me revenge and if you do not listen, to hell with you!

Crom! Strong! On! His mountain! Crom! Strong! On! His mountain! Crom! Strong! On! His mountain! Crom! Strong! On! His mountain!

You’re not my queen, Taramis. My Valeria, with Crom she sits. Bring back the dead, I’ll trust you. Just tell me what I must do.

Life for Valeria!

What good is a sword against sorcery? I’ll deflect your treachery. Snared by a web of conspiracy, tell me more about this key. Perilous journey locks your destiny, what I want you can’t give me!

I will find a way! Life! For Valeria! I will find a way! Life! For Valeria! I will have my own kingdom, my own queen. I will find a way! Go!

Hurt by only pain, magic in this game, I will fight it with the same. Invade the castle and storm the hall, on this path grim shadows fall. Death to the world, written on the wall, we shall see, I’ll save us all!

I will find a way! Life! For Valeria! I will find a way! Life! For Valeria! I will have my own kingdom, my own queen. I will find a way! Go!

Do you see this woman over there? Valeria is like her. She doesn’t look like her, but she has the same spirit. The same, the same strength. Strength! A great warrior. A great woman… Enough talk!

I will find a way! Life! For Valeria! I will find a way! Life! For Valeria! I will have my own kingdom, my own queen. I will find a way! Go!

Trade your freedom for the guise of wealth, discard your sword and heart. Build a prison of satin and gold and call it culture and art.

I will hurl your cities down and I will break your feeble shrines and give the site of every town to thistles and to vines!

Go! GO!!! I was born on a battlefield! Go! GO!!! A scream was the first sound I knew was real!

My knotted hands still clutch at life. My soul beats on full of rage and strife. Strong and still like a shoreless sea, your crown of jewels will not shackle me. I am the king who wears a crown of iron!

I! Am! King! I! Am! King!

Lie in the laps of smiling land till its rusts unman and rot them. They scorn their blood of the calloused hand and the fathers who begot them.

All the works of cultured man must fare and fade, collapse and fall. We are the dark barbarians, we tower over all!

Go! GO!!! I was born on a battlefield. Go! GO!!! A scream was the first sound I knew was real!

My knotted hands still clutch at life. My soul beats on full of rage and strife. Strong and still like a shoreless sea, your crown of jewels will not shackle me. I am the king who wears a crown of iron!

I! Am! King! I! Am! King!

Freedom for power, tied and tamed. Once a link, now the chain. The sacred line remains my tool. I am King, by this axe I RULE!!!

Tired of the same old faces, same old things. Faces, things—I am bored! My mother was a mortal. Zeus, my father, a god. Nobody will stop me, I won’t stay.

I have been here for thousands of years! No man is superior to Hercules!

Fine chariot, but where are the horses? Fine chariot, but where are the horses? Hercules goes where he wishes.

I don’t have any money, profit by my instruction. Those men don’t throw it far enough. That is not Hercules, he doesn’t even look like me. Look, does he? Ha ha ha!

I have been here for thousands of years! Who gave him permission to be Hercules?

Fine chariot, but where are the horses? Fine chariot, but where are the horses? Hercules goes where he wishes.

Another hundred years, that’s all I need. I don’t care what Zeus decreed. This fine food for a few small coins, ready for battle as I gird my loins. Divinity deprived, my strengths are gone. I’m like a mortal without my brawn!

I, Hercules, do what I please. I cease to roam, now return to home.

Fine chariot, but where are the horses? Fine chariot, but where are the horses? Hercules goes where he wishes.

Your sister is dying. She’s dead and the living have work to do, that’s me and you. If I’m owed, I take it. Nobody pays me for what I do, my reward is you.

Like a blind metal serpent, you just cannot see. You do need help, that help is me!

You’re a brave girl but danger’s my trade. Hold on, Sonja! Sonja, come on! On this adventure our bond will be made. Hold on, Sonja!

Prepare to be conquered. I’ll be the conqueror that will have you, your vow is true. Look for the talisman. A quest to find it, destroy it too. We’ll see it through.

On your quest for vengeance, soon you will see. You do need help, that help is me.

You’re a brave girl but danger’s my trade. Hold on, Sonja! Sonja, come on! On this adventure, our bond has been made. Hold on, Sonja! Sonja, come on! It’s my duty to come to your aid. Hold on, Sonja! Sonja, come on! I’m a high lord, I’m sure to get laid. Warrior Sonja! Sonja, fight on!

An age of violence, a world of doom. The source of evil must be entombed. Kingdoms collapse, burned to the core. Victory shines like days of yore.

You’re a brave girl but danger’s my trade. Hold on, Sonja! Sonja, come on! On this adventure, our bond has been made. Hold on, Sonja! Sonja, come on! It’s my duty to come to your aid. Hold on, Sonja! Sonja, come on! I’m a high lord, I’m sure to get laid. Warrior Sonja! Sonja, fight on!

Making the sword. Building the sword, building the steel. If you believe that, you’d also believe there are Richard Simmons Juniors running around!

That’s me when I was young! Exactly! Does the kid wear lipstick? Exactly! He was known for his arms! Exactly! Yeah! His biceps and triceps!

Look at her neck. Hypnotizing, separating. Do you see that? The horseback riding. Crashing and falling. Such a wild scene!

The reason of the wheel! Exactly! The wheel of pain for grinding grain! Exactly! This guy is the grease guy! Exactly! He greases the wheel from the top! Ha ha, he was laughing! Exactly! He didn’t laugh long! Exactly! Look at the midnight training! Exactly! I got my first stitches before it was noon!

That’s right. Here it is. But it’s like you always have compared the sword, the making of the sword with the making of the character. Cuz the stronger, the stronger it will get, right, the stronger the steel will get, with all that, and the same is with the character. The more resistance that you give it, the more obstacles it can overcome.

Unbelievable! Look at that! I remember! Go!!!

What does not kill you will make you stronger! What does not kill you will make you stronger! What does not kill you will make you stronger! What does not kill you will make you stronger!

Remember people screaming? Exactly! Remember the test screening? Exactly! This is so well written! Exactly! Remember! Remember! And all that kind of stuff! Exactly! Exactly! Exactly!
