Orphan's Path

[Verse] Askeladd alone in the night Orphan heart lost in the fight Shadows dance on cobblestone Silent steps he's on his own [Verse 2] Picked by fate to wield the blade Secrets in the dark he wades Silent whisper calls his name In the night he stakes his claim [Chorus] Gone the boy that once was known Askeladd his heart's now stone From orphan tears to assassin's game He walks the path without a name [Verse 3] Hidden in the cloaks of dusk Trusting only in his husk Destiny's cruel hand bends the light He emerges from the night [Bridge] In the silence he finds home Darkness where he's left to roam Memory of a boy's soft cry Now he lives where shadows lie [Chorus] Gone the boy that once was known Askeladd his heart's now stone From orphan tears to assassin's game He walks the path without a name
