The necromancer is the bad guy and gets banished from the land at the end of the song, I've been on an old Rush kick lately, doesn't all the guys look really funny on the back of 'Fly By Night'! Ya I remember swill, shimmer (dessert topping and floor wax), and the beer made from Idaho potatoes that was called Spuds (or something like that), crazy bunch of people! Rando
