The King's Decree

[Lyrics by Greenwolf] [Melodic guitar solo with hammond organ] [Pipes and Flute Solo] [Verse 1] The King sits in luxury His wealth built by his subjects Working the whole day... tirelessly Struggling to make enough To pay off the royal tribute Our food and money taken... by the King's decree [Verse 2] Our families still starve While the taxes rise again More and more coffers... for the treasury And the Lords gorge themselves Their waste could feed a nation Competing for favour... of the King's decree [Medieval Folk instrumental break] [Celtic Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] The King he grows envious of neighbouring King's resources Shows them the might... of his heraldry And every man of age Is forcibly conscripted To fight and die... by the King's decree [Verse 4] And off we march to war Against those we called allies With only basic armour... and weaponry And all of the King's armies Are continuously routed Forced to march on... byt the King's decree [Pipes and flute instrumental break] [Melodic Guitar Solo] [Complex Guitar Solo] [Verse 5] Wearily we all march Chained and shackled together Treated like animals... with brutality The lands we toiled Burn away into the night A Kingdom lost.. 'cause of the King's decree [Verse 6] And now in the mines All slaves and prisoners We work the whole day... tirelessly Struggling to survive Living in pain and misery Forever a slave... to their King's decree [Long melodic guitar solo] [Fade Out] [Ending]
