Crystal Eyes - The Power Behind The Throne lyrics

[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]
