(Intro:) |
|
Once there was a mighty king |
|
whose tragedy bards still sing |
|
He ruled his realm right and fair, |
|
doing evil no one ever dared |
|
Then one day a stranger came |
|
"Randal," He said, "is my name |
|
the art of magics is my trade |
|
and I'll entertain if I get paid" |
|
And the king gladly took him in, |
|
never seeing the wizard's grin |
|
From that day the blissful years |
|
forever changed into times of fear |
|
(Pre-Chorus) |
|
Day by day, the wizard was slowly taking control |
|
Day by day, the king was slowly losing his soul |
|
(Chorus) |
|
And no one could see |
|
the shadow, which fell |
|
upon the old king |
|
A sinister spell! |
|
The cause of his pain |
|
no one could tell |
|
The wizard just laughed, |
|
his plan worked so well! |
|
As the wizard rose in might, |
|
he turned the king from the light |
|
The king became grim and cold |
|
and did whatever Randal told |
|
The king began a terror reign, |
|
taught his people feel pain |
|
They never knew that he was prone |
|
to the power behind the throne |
|
(Pre-Chorus) |
|
(Chorus) |
|
The malice gleamed in the wizard's eyes |
|
when he was feeding the king with lies |
|
(Solo: Dahl - Nyberg) |
|
(Chorus) |
