Doesn't really seem to be very MM-oriented; I checked the lyrics against
both _The Eternal Champion_ (where Rigenos summons Erekose) and _Phoenix
in Obsidian_ (where Urlik Skarsol takes up the Black Sword once more) and
found nothing that was similar to the lyrics.  Perhaps the original
poster had the book mixed up with another MM one (though none come to
mind, again).

Sorry:  wish I could be more help.

Allan.
