Under The Sword lyrics

Artist  : Falconer 
Song : Under The Sword
 

They burst through the gates

with swords in
hand they made their way

cross the hall of
the high lord.



[Erik:]

-As
long as that man lives

peace will never
propagate

between me and my brothers
here

so yield yourself to your fate!



The king stood still in the back,

grey in face and without will

not
knowing wrong from right.



[Torgil:]

-You have brought shame and
disgrace

to soil your fathers' name

and heaven will not easily

forget the
game you've played.



The limbs of the
lord was chained,

he was bound to a horse
then they rode away

through a cold winter
storm.

Travelling night and day

through a kingdom of snow

and finally
arriving at

the castle of his foes.



He was shackled to the wall,

in
the tower high above the ground

he was kept
like a common thief.

And meanwhile the
brothers three

feasted into the night

and toasted time after time

until the
morning light.



He was sentenced to
death by the blade.

In the name of high
treason

he died under the sword.



[Birger:]

-We have harvested the
crops

of the evil seed

that grew
between you and me

but now united we'll
lead!
