He was once an adventurer, some years ago

Searching for an artifact to cheat death

To resurrect the beloved he used to know

To return her voice, her eyes, her breath



But those were hazy memories of the past

Now he had a new purpose, and a new name

To stop living intruders, mighty or fast

To destroy those that to his chamber came



Sturdy platemail armor, covered in brass

A large cracked bell rests upon his head

His icy glare terrifying with every pass

A large hammer, to smash the living dead



When entering his arena there's no escape

And no choice but to withstand his might

His great strength and intimidating shape

Until his victim succumbs, he will fight



When he rings his scattered ominous bells

Monsters come from thin air to overwhelm

His laughter even louder than the knells

And you trapped in his chamber, his realm



And should all the magical bells be rung

His true power he will finally let loose

At great speed his hammer shall be swung

And every mistake of yours he will abuse



Feeling invulnerable, relentless he goes

And only one sure way to end his rampage

To the ceremonial gong you must be close

To break the bell, and the spell of rage



When his helmet shatters and falls apart

The memories of his human life resurface

And the love for his family in his heart

As he once again sees his daughter's face
