Here’s a storyFor you allYou won’t believe it
That’s for sureBut I tell the truth
That stings my heart
Of gorgeous queen
And a lonesome bard
She fell in love with me
That’s how I almost
Became a king
I travelled far
My road was long
I played my luteAnd sang my songs
Then one nightIn walks a queen
Hair, dress, everything
She looked me with
Her pretty eyesI’ve never seen
Such lovely smile
She danced until the dawn
That’s how I almost
Seized the throne
As soon as sun began to rise
King sent his royal spies
She could not resist my charms
She almost fell into my armsI tell you all, I wouldn’t lieI fled the scene in a nick of time
Still today I singHow I almostBecame your king

On a stormy dayOur journey began
Through treacherous waters
Stronger than any man
Long is the wayAs long as the sea
Battle for freedom
Calls to me
Long is the way
To the land
That sees no day
To a placeOf an endless cry
Where shadows lie
Dark land is near
Time has comeTo face the darkness
To sound the drumsWe’ll show them no mercy
We’ll show them no fearOur battlecryIs the last that they’ll hear

Here's a tale
That's lost in time
Forgotten taleOf kingdom old
On mountain peak
There was a king
Who ruled with might
On golden throne
Forgotten throne
People loved their
King and queen
They ruled with love
But not for long
Betrayal fell
Upon the king
And his queen
On fields of gold
So long ago
All that's left are
Weeds and thorns
Where light once shined
On kingdom oldAll that's left are
MemoriesOf king so bold
And his golden throne
Forgotten throne

I was born in a town
Northwest from here
Born as a princeOne day to be kingBut my heart
Yearned for something more
So I gave up my throne
I am the wanderer
World is my wayI am the wanderer
There’s no place I’ll stay
I am the wanderer
I’ve always lookAs far as eye can see
I am freeI am the wanderer
Since thenI’ve traveled far and wide
Never looking backI’ve seen the wondersOf the worldMountains and caverns black
People often said“You fool, you could’ve been a king”
But to meIt don’t mean a thing

I was a sailor for the king
Had a wife and family
What seems like a lifetime ago
It's all coming back to me
Time when I was free
When love meant more to me
Than gold
I had my ship, I had my crew
We were young, brave and true
Sailed the seas for far too long
But what it came to beIs a life of miseryWhen we found the curse of old
Yo ho, we rowTo find the cursed gold
Yo ho, we rowTo free our cursed souls
Now we sail the seven seas
No home or family
Searching for the cursed gold
In this endless misery
We seek our liberty
Every night we sing along
Yo ho, we rowTo find the cursed gold
Yo ho, we rowTo free our cursed souls

On a cold winter night
While the stars are shining bright
Everyone fell asleepAll but meI cannot sleep
I'm thinking of my lovely bride
On this cold winter night
She is waiting back home
All alone
Fear is calling for me
But I'll look him in his face
Army is coming for me
My sword and my shield
Once againShall be raised
Battle awaits!
I made a promise to her
That my enemies will burn
And that she'll see me once more
That I'll come home
