Story behind the song
The mercenary tries to get his love back, but runs into...problems. So, he sets about solving the problem the best way he knows how... ******* I recorded this on my BR-532, played all the instruments, did all the vocals. Mixed it in Cakewalk Music Creator.
Lyrics
I hear whispers as I pass through many villages That the prince has taken what is mine The home that we shared lays in ashes I curse the day that I left your side Sent me on a journey that he thought would be my end But I fulfilled my promise to the prince, my lord, my friend This is my repayment, taking she who'll be my bride? Post sentries 'round your fortress And hide yourself inside The guards are armed with daggers Archers lay in wait at the porticos The forest are teeming with assassins Villains of all sort heed your call Try as I might I cannot enter To save the woman that I love Forced deep into the wilderness Pray for vengeance from God above Old woman calls to me She seems to know my name Beckons for me to follow Without knowing why I seem to understand she has the answer "You have lost your love to another man a man of wealth and might. But this man hides behind walls of stone and he beds your love each night. You want his blood, this much is plain. You've shed men's blood before. But you seek a way into his lair to slip unseen through the door. I have just the thing that you require, and now I place it in your fist. Drink of this and until the deed is done, you shall be like the mist." "Well I know," I said to the hag, "Things like these are never free." The woman smiled and said I spoke true. she said, "his death will be the fee." I bring the chalice to my lips The bitterness runs down my throat My body turns to vapor Like a cloud I float across his moat Like smoke I penetrate his fortress Slaying each guard along the way Ascending the stairway to his chamber The light from the torches guides my way Peering I see him through the keyhole sleeping, naieve of the death that's to come I am inside the room where he has her I cut his throat, blood spays, the deed is done My love lies in steaming pools of crimson Screaming at the vision standing before her Weeping with joy I try to take her in my arms Longing to restart our life from before She won't stop screaming Her eyes wide in terror To her I'm no savior To her I'm a horror
