The Power Behind The Throne Lyrics - Crystal Eyes

[Music: Mikael Dahl o Lyrics: Andreas Gotesson] 

[Intro:] 

Once there was a mighty king 

whose tragedy bards still sing 

He ruled his realm right and fair, 

doing evil no one ever dared 

Then one day a stranger came 

"Randal," He said, "is my name 

the art of magics is my trade 

and I'll entertain if I get paid" 

And the king gladly took him in, 

never seeing the wizard's grin 

From that day the blissful years 

forever changed into times of fear 

[Pre-Chorus] 

Day by day, the wizard was slowly taking control 

Day by day, the king was slowly losing his soul 

[Chorus] 

And no one could see 

the shadow, which fell 

upon the old king 

A sinister spell! 

The cause of his pain 

no one could tell 

The wizard just laughed, 

his plan worked so well! 

As the wizard rose in might, 

he turned the king from the light 

The king became grim and cold 

and did whatever Randal told 

The king began a terror reign, 

taught his people feel pain 

They never knew that he was prone 

to the power behind the throne 

[Pre-Chorus] 

[Chorus] 

The malice gleamed in the wizard's eyes 

when he was feeding the king with lies 

[Solo: Dahl - Nyberg] 

[Chorus]
