King's Gray Shadow Lyrics - Singles - Darkwoods My Betrothed

He wandered through landscapes painted 

Green by forests and blue by lakes 

All the way of leagues ten and five 

Until he arrived during the fall of twilight 

Gathered the villagers around him 

To hear the sad news he had to bring 

"Three dawns ago in the land towards sunrise 

Was thy king slain in a battle at night" 

A gray cloud shadowed the hearts of men 

And flowing tears wet women's eyes 

Their king had gone to Tuonela 

Had his spirit among them died? 

Had it gone away with the flames 

That burned his warship - his grave 

The nightwinds had called his name 

The gods got another man brave 

Weeks after the funeral was seen a shadow gray 

Roaming in the woods of the eastern land 

Hiding in daytime then returning at night 

Haunting in the minds of the mortals who killed a king 

(Music: Pasi 

Words: Teemu)
