Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I came from the mountains, through rivers and plains,
Chasing my father's pride, through the blood and the rain.
But every step I take, there's someone on my tail,
Hunting me down, thinking I’m easy prey,
But they don't understand, they’re walking into my fray.
(Chorus)
I put up warnings, signs in the trees,
"Turn back now, or face the beast!"
But they come anyway, seeking glory or gold,
I don't wanna fight, but the story must be told.
(Verse 2)
My brother's a warrior, he craves the thrill,
He'd charge into battle, he'd charge for the kill.
But me, I walk quieter, I don't seek the fight,
Yet the hunters keep coming, stalking me in the night.
They think I'm a monster, they think I don't feel,
But I’ve got a heart, and it’s broken, it’s real.
(Chorus)
I put up warnings, signs in the trees,
"Turn back now, or face the beast!"
But they come anyway, seeking glory or gold,
I don't wanna fight, but the story must be told.
(Bridge)
My father said, "Son, bring me the crown,
Invade their kingdom, bring their walls down."
So I gathered my warband, stormed through their gates,
Clashed with their soldiers, decided their fates.
Steel on steel, the clash and the cries,
Through the fire and smoke, I saw fear in their eyes.
I didn’t wanna do it, didn’t wanna bring war,
But for my father's pride, I had to settle the score.
(Chorus)
I put up warnings, signs in the trees,
"Turn back now, or face the beast!"
But they come anyway, seeking glory or gold,
I don't wanna fight, but the story must be told.
(Outro)
The battle was over, their kingdom was dust,
I stood on the ruins, with blood on my hands.
I didn’t feel stronger, I didn’t feel proud,
Just empty and hollow, beneath the dark cloud.
But they kept on coming, even after the fight,
Seeking a legend, or maybe the light.
I don’t wanna fight, but they give me no choice,
So I leave them a warning, I give them my voice.
I didn’t feel proud,
Just empty and hollow, beneath the dark cloud.
But they kept on coming, even after the fight,
Seeking a legend, or maybe the light.
I don’t wanna fight, but they give me no choice,
So I leave them a warning, I give them my voice.
