Lyrics (Quintessential)
(Salgexicon, Salgexicon, Salgexicon, Salgexicon)

Born in dragon's blood raised by a sorcerer he learned the magic Salgexicon

A tear from his eye as his mentor died teleported him to safety Salgexicon, Salgexicon Salgexicon (Salgexicon) Now he fights evil with his best of friends

Salgexicon (Salgexicon) They all have each other to the very end Adventurer roll call!

Scarla the war witch, slices and dices Her magic is deadly, she’s also the sister of Salgexicon

Ardus the Magnificent smashes things up he throws down his mace and things explode to the sky

Skurdgvrm the dwarf has a big axe that's pretty much all there is to know about him

Then there’s Bessie the undead minotaur She reeks of undead flesh and smells really bad, but the others try not to say anything

And of course there's the leader of this group, who needs no introduction His deeds of greatness and compassion travel the land, he is known all around and everywhere as

Salgexicon (Salgexicon) Vanquishing evil wherever he goes Salgexicon (Salgexicon) Saving everybody from all the bad guys Salgexicon, Salgexicon Save me, save us

Salgexicon, Salgexicon Sorcerer of great Salgexicon Salgexicon You'll always be in our hearts

Salgexicon (Salgexicon) His tears of magic always save the day Salgexicon (Salgexicon) A truer friend and companion there never was Salgexicon (Salgexicon) Sal-gex-icon and friends (and Bessie the Minotaur)

Lyrics (Eternal Harp)
(Salgexicon, Salgexicon, Salgexicon, Salgexicon) Born in dragon's blood raised by a sorcerer he learned the magic Salgexicon

A tear from his eye as his mentor died teleported him to safety Salgexicon, Salgexicon Salgexicon (Salgexicon) Now he fights evil with his best of dragons

Salgexicon (Salgexicon) They all have each other to the very end Adventurer roll call!

Skrdjvum has a mustache that's pretty much all there is to know about him

Rumbo the Ranger scouts ahead You'll find that treasure soon, there's no doubt in his mind

Ardus the Magnificent smashes things up he throws down his mace and things explode to the sky

There's Sir Michael who has a helmet But he doesn't seem to wear it, he just carries it around

Then there's Crolax who never smiles Except for that one time when they foundtheEternalHarpofGoldenDreams but not really

Then of course there's the leader of this group, who needs no introduction His deeds of greatness and compassion travel the land, he is known all around and everywhere as Salgexicon (Salgexicon) Vanquishing evil wherever he goes Salgexicon (Salgexicon) Saving everybody from all the bad guys Salgexicon, Salgexicon Save me, save us

Salgexicon, Salgexicon Sorcerer of great Salgexicon, Salgexicon You'll always be in our hearts Salgexicon (Salgexicon) His tears of magic always save the day

Salgexicon (Salgexicon) A truer friend and companion there never was Salgexicon (Salgexicon) Sal-gex-icon and friends
