As the daylight begins to fade away And the ravens take to the wing Silently I relieve my memories By torchlight within my halls These hands wrought countless wrongs In my plight to take the throne The righteous men of old forced upon me Tasks untold, innocent lives I've slayed Long ago I took up my blade Ashes of my woe fell upon me On and on and into the fray My withered armour falls away The crown placed upon my brow And rule of the realm draped upon me
Robed in kingly garb The ma**es set before me The fears and hopes are now my charge Long ago I took up my blade Ashes of my woe fell upon me On and on and into the fray My withered armour falls away Overcome by blood and fire My father's legacy I now hold Long ago I took up my blade Ashes of my woe fell upon me On and on and into the fray My withered armour falls away Now I stand at the end of my days vanquished my foes and remember the way
