Just outside the mystic mountains Lies a dark and lonely land Just beyond the sleeping city Where an evil castle stands The king is lying sleeping there In his room unaware Just beyond the castle walls Evil warriors come to call
Chorus: To kill a king and to take his queen And before the dawn, they’ll be riding on
By the walls of the courtyard Slipping past the kings guard Through the back of the darkest stairs There only one man there A flash of steel and we cut him down His blood pours upon the holy ground Inside the king’s room He’s unaware of his sudden doom
Chorus
Far behind the king’s men ride A thousand swords held in the sky Dust from horses hide the sun Evil warriors on the run The king is dying, the king is dead The last words the blind man said Ride swift upon the wind Past the sleeping city again
