[Music: Mikael Dahl o Lyrics: Andreas Gotesson]
[Intro:]
Once there was a mighty king
whose tragedy bards still
sing
He ruled his realm right and fair,
doing evil no one ever dared
Then one day a stranger came
"Randal," He said, "is
my name
the art of magics is my trade
and I'll entertain if I get paid"
And the king gladly took him in,
never seeing the
wizard's grin
From that day the blissful years
forever changed into times of fear
[Pre-Chorus]
Day by day, the wizard was
slowly taking control
Day by day, the king was slowly losing his soul
[Chorus]
And no one could see
the shadow, which
fell
upon the old king
A sinister spell!
The cause of his pain
no one could tell
The wizard just laughed,
his plan
worked so well!
As the wizard rose in might,
he turned the king from the light
The king became grim and cold
and did
whatever Randal told
The king began a terror reign,
taught his people feel pain
They never knew that he was prone
to the
power behind the throne
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
The malice gleamed in the wizard's eyes
when he was feeding the king
with lies
[Solo: Dahl - Nyberg]
[Chorus]
