March to the forest
08:01

Swordsmen and archers assemble
Down in the castle courtyard
The clarion call of horns echo
From high on the castle's walls
March with all haste and fight bravely
The king from his charger implores
Shouts from the crowd as we're leaving
The clash of the shield and the sword
And so we ride towards the woods
We feel the darkness rise
But while in sunlight there's no fear
And wonder fills our eyes
Waving fields of dandelions
Beneath the glowing skies
And blown upon the crimson wind
The purple dragonflies
We make our camp by the river
Gathering round the firelight
Secretive songs from the minstrels
Singing the queen of the night
Where are you hiding
our lady love – our lady love
Deep in the forest
Our Queen of the night
Good food and ale in our bellies
Stories to keep us in good cheer
The feasting and the music
Helps to ward off our fear
Showing off scars from old battles
Songs of old victories we sing
Tomorrow we go to the forest
To fight 'gainst the queen for the king
Chorus
Before the road enters the forest
We pass through the villages there
The people view us with suspicion
No one reveals the queen's lair
Burn down their houses and torture
The women until the men speak
The King says with venom and passion
I'll kill any man who is weak
Chorus
And so we enter the forest...
Inside the forest night's shadow
Surrounds us despite the sun's light
Whispers and moans all around us
Noises from both left and right
And so we ride on through the woods
We feel the darkness rise
The lack of sunlight feeds our fear
And shadows catch our eyes
No more fields of dandelions
And gone the glowing skies
And blown upon the bitter wind
We hear the battle cries
So we come to the clearing...

The battle
05:28
|

|
Waiting in the shadows for the queen to arrive
Masters of the swordsman's art
Shields at the ready and fear in their eyes
Waiting for the battle to start
Army of the king
Dressed in gold and green
Drums and trumpets sing
Heralding the queen
Hear our battle cry
See our banners fly
On the side of right
Spoiling for a fight
Army of the light
Fighting for the queen of the night
You'll see our arrows fly
High up in the sky
We'll look you in the eye
As you prepare to die
Army of the light
Fighting for our lady love,
fighting for the queen of the night
Fighting for the queen
Fighting for the queen of the night
Fighting for their lives while their comrades die
Hearing the screams of pain
Overwhelmed by forces of the elvish kind
Arrows falling down like rain
Fighting for the queen
Fighting for the queen of the night
Standing in the clearing where his soldiers lie
It's time for the king to die
Fighting for the queen
Fighting for the queen of the night
