King Slaughter's Tale
Words & music © 1999 Ginger Hulsopple A Bard’s eye view of the abduction of King Slaughter by Lord Carnage in an attempt to restore the balance…Am D Am
The darkened throne stands silent and grim
G Am C
No King doth grace it now
Am G Am
The man in the mask did raise his cloak
C E7
'Tis true, sir, I do vow!
Am G Am
Then vanished away in darksome flash
Am G E7
And stilled were all his men
Am G Am
The King is gone and who can say
Am F Am
How he will return or when...Am D Am
His Captain true and the Mage of Death
G Am C
Did seek him in the west
Am G Am
And found they a man, though shackled and bound
C E7
The king's dark side confessed
Am G Am
Yet far away a young lad sang
Am G E7
And knew the touch of love
Am G Am
Two sides of the man who held the throne
Am F Am
The demon and the dove.Am D Am
The King had a battle to be fought
G Am C
Between the dark and light
Am G Am
The pow'r of heaven and the strength of hell
C E7
The left path and the right
Am G Am
The man in the mask illusion played
Am G E7
To bring a balance true
Am G Am
For the Land would need a leader strong
Am F Am
As the winds of war, they blew.Am D Am
The King returned to his castle gate
G Am C
Though the demon was still strong
Am G Am
Its power he used for the kingdom he loved
C E7
To right all that was wrong
Am G Am
The man in the mask did fade away
Am G E7
To find the olden ones
Am G Am
Now the Land & its King could meet what would come
Am F Am
E’er the setting of the sun.
