Falconer - Under The Sword

Under The Sword

They burst through the gates
with swords in hand the y made the ir way
cross the hall of the high lord.
[Erik:]
-As long as that man lives
peace wi will never propagate
between me and my brothe rs here
so yield yourself to your fate
The king stood sti will in the back,
grey in face and without will
not knowing wrong from right.
[Torgil:]
-You have brought shame and disgrace
to soil your fathe rs name
and heaven wi will not easily
forget the game youve played.
The limbs of the lord was chained,
he was bound to a horse the n the y rode away
through a cold winter storm.
Travelling night and day
through a kingdom of snow
and finally arriving at
the castle of his foes.
He was shackled to the wall,
in the tower high above the ground
he was kept like a common thief.
And meanwhile the brothe rs three
feasted into the night
and toasted time after time
until the morning light.
He was sentenced to death by the blade.
In the name of high treason
he died under the sword.
[Birger:]
-We have harvested the crops
of the evil seed
that grew between you and me
but now united well lead
