On the first part of the journey
I was looking for signs of life
It was touch and go and hide and seek 
Over hill and dale and peak
The first thing I met was a rat who'd heard buzz
`Bout a place of grievous loss 
All denizens dead and the ground was rank 
I knew it must be my boss

I'm searching through the Balkans for a Lord I can't name
It's my fate to help launch his reign
Everyone's deserted He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named
So there ain't no one to deal fear, death and pain.
La, la, la, la, la




After two days in the Balkan fen
I stopped at an inn for rest
But Bertha Jorkins spotted me
She had always been a major pest
Her a story I told of a forest that held
The Lord they sent me to arrest

"You see I'm searching through the Balkans for a Lord without form
Protecting generations who have yet to born
I've pretended to be dead but you need not mourn
To bring him back to justice I am eagerly sworn.
La, la, la, la, la


"

The Dark Lord locked her in his custody
And fiddled with her memory
There were screams and shrieks and pleas and tears
There were threats and laughs and sneers
When Bertha told us all the things we needed to know
He her body and mind destroyed
The Dark Lord was preparing for his latest tableaux
In a dreadful shape deployed.

You see I'm now enslaved forever to a Lord I can't stand
I've become the servant to his ev'ry command
Were I to oppose him I should surely get canned
Can't think of what else to do now, off-hand
La, la, la, la, la
