Here’s a story
For you all
You won’t believe it

That’s for sure
But I tell the truth

That stings my heart

Of gorgeous queen

And a lonesome bard

She fell in love with me

That’s how I almost

Became a king

I travelled far

My road was long

I played my lute
And sang my songs

Then one night
In walks a queen

Hair, dress, everything

She looked me with

Her pretty eyes
I’ve never seen

Such lovely smile

She danced until the dawn

That’s how I almost

Seized the throne

As soon as sun began to rise

King sent his royal spies

She could not resist my charms

She almost fell into my arms
I tell you all, I wouldn’t lie
I fled the scene in a nick of time

Still today I sing
How I almost
Became your king

On a stormy day
Our journey began

Through treacherous waters

Stronger than any man

Long is the way
As long as the sea

Battle for freedom

Calls to me

Long is the way

To the land

That sees no day

To a place
Of an endless cry

Where shadows lie

Dark land is near

Time has come
To face the darkness

To sound the drums
We’ll show them no mercy

We’ll show them no fear
Our battlecry
Is the last that they’ll hear

Here's a tale

That's lost in time

Forgotten tale
Of kingdom old

On mountain peak

There was a king

Who ruled with might

On golden throne

Forgotten throne

People loved their

King and queen

They ruled with love

But not for long

Betrayal fell

Upon the king

And his queen

On fields of gold

So long ago

All that's left are

Weeds and thorns

Where light once shined

On kingdom old
All that's left are

Memories
Of king so bold

And his golden throne

Forgotten throne

I was born in a town

Northwest from here

Born as a prince
One day to be king
But my heart

Yearned for something more

So I gave up my throne

I am the wanderer

World is my way
I am the wanderer

There’s no place I’ll stay

I am the wanderer

I’ve always look
As far as eye can see

I am free
I am the wanderer

Since then
I’ve traveled far and wide

Never looking back
I’ve seen the wonders
Of the world
Mountains and caverns black

People often said
“You fool, you could’ve been a king”

But to me
It don’t mean a thing
