Hey now, what's the commotion about It's unnecessary for you all to shout Calm down, step aside, let me through A message from the king? Can it be true?
Dear people of the woods I write to you about the stolen goods I know your position Let me explain my proposition
I request your help in town At war my men are going down I offer a truce Please inform me what you choose
I can't believe what I'm reading I won't sacrifice the men I'm leading Surely, the king must be desperate To bow down to a kingdom rat
Still, a truce might be worth the pain If it burns and breaks our chain Men, prepare for the final fight We will advance in the shadows of the night
The target stronghold lies east of town Their soldiers are patrolling all around We will infiltrate without a sound And leave the corpses for the king to be found
We're inside, let's get to it Wait, there are some torches lit Quickly now, hide in the dark I see a crowd right through the arch
Soldiers, everywhere Approaching us, most unfair Marching along with a grin The honorable lord and king
