Crystal Eyes - The Power Behind The Throne lyrics

[Music: Mikael Dahl o Lyrics: Andreas Gotesson] [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]
