Running ‘cross the fields, and the mountain road in front of me. The trail ahead is but a long and dreadful way. No path around that leads me to my destination, Have to prepare myself to carry on.
Chorus: Guide me through the darkest forests, Shield me from sight. In my charge I keep the Royal Secret, I’m the Messenger Of Kings. Running from my true besiegers, Behind me and ahead. They can not acquire what I carry, I’m the Messenger Of Kings.
The summit lies ahead, I hear them creeping up behind me. Have to be fast and walk this narrow ledge. Hot on my trail, the mercenaries of my mission. Can I evade the blade that cuts me down this day?
Chorus
I’m the Messenger of Kings. And I must run, Run, Run!
Once I have passed my message on, All is said and done. My fears will all be gone, At peace I can pass on.
