[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]
