a crown of five fingers - heidra lyrics

Loading...

the sword can be found on an island
out in a shallow black sea
but first you must reckon a price with the ferryman
he does not sail for free

i have k!lled, i have died and forsaken
all those who stood by my side
over the waves a dark sword shall awaken
and to glory or death i ride

the sailor was tall and seemed made out of driftwood
bleached white as weather*worn bone
though both of his arms began at his shoulders
one long fingered hand hung alone
‘a lord of the trolls wove a crown from my fingers
that has no right to rest on his brow
that is the pricе if you’ll cross this black ocean
for without me all men arе dragged down’

though i’d not seen a town or a house or a dwelling
in this most accursed of lands
there were still a folk who lived under the surface
to whom i must make my demands

down i climbed to the bowels of the underworld
and met with a lord of the fey
give me the crown with its five wooden fingers
so that i might be on my way

the lord was short and most grim to behold
with arms like the trunks of a tree
his skin was like bark, his eyes small and dark
and with these words gave answer to me

“you may not have my crown with its long wooden fingers
for too well it rests on my brow
but you are quite welcome to come here and take it”
and just such a thing did i vow

i have k!lled, i have died and forsaken
all those who stood by my side
over the waves a dark sword shall awaken
and to glory or death i ride
