Emerald - Bard Of The King lyrics

Once upon a time When heroes walked the earth Bards were singing aloud Of deeds so proud and fine A young singer rose To the bard that the king chose Engaged for telling lies The sinister he denies Bard of the king He's cursed to sing Lies about tales 'cause the king never fails No freedom, no choice About his own voice The king as dragonstayer With force, a demonk**er A saviour of maidens Invented deeds to deceive history He let his soldiers fight For himself and his right The bard was singing loud Of the king as warrior proud Bard of the king He's cursed to sing Lies about tales 'cause the king never fails No freedom, no choice About his own voice No freedom to win As bard of the king He quit his cursed job To sing now for the mob Soon he was found dead A bloody mess in his bed No one betrays the king No freedom to win Bard of the king He's cursed to sing Lies about tales 'cause the king never fails No freedom, no choice About his own voice
