The Prince of the Scarlet Hand

[Verse 1] Silver Hand Scarlet brand Last son of a dying land Ashen halls Empty throne Rust on steel where banners hang Swords of Law Carved in bone Name like iron in your mouth Corum Child Of forgotten vows Winds of time are turning south [Chorus] Oh Corum Prince in the ruin and rain Fox-faced lord of the last Of the slain Hold that hand of silver steady While the worlds come down in flame Corum Wearing crown and curse and name [Verse 2] Nine black ships On a blood-red tide Burning ports The howling hordes Golden masks Over hungry eyes Tearing down the oldest lords You watched them break All your father’s walls Heard your mother’s final breath You learned that day What a vow really costs How a heart can bargain with death [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Through the spiral Through the mirrors Faces blur and bleed the same Arioch laughing in the corners Every bargain has a name [whispered vocals] Champion cursed to keep the balance Every age Another war Same old grief in different armor Same old blood upon the floor [Chorus] [Outro] Scarlet hand Open wide Let the old bright empires fade Walk the dust Of a thousand worlds Last lord of a lost parade Corum Quiet on the broken stone Worlds move on You stand alone
