once upon a time, there was a king
he possesed much land and many things
he was sitting on his throne
gloomy and pale
he's thinking of horrors
he's seeing fury
he's speaking harsh truths
he's writing blood
a long time ago, to the castle, there came
a noble pair of singers
one with black curls
the other with grey hair
the grey-haired one spoke to the boy:
be ready, my son
play the best songs
play the richest tune
it's raining - it's raining blood
it's raining - the bard's curse
it's raining - it's raining blood
it's raining - the bard's curse
both singers play
in the high columned hall
sitting on the throne
the royal couple
the king as grand
as a bloody nordic light
the queen as sweet
as the sunshine
they sing of springtime
love, holiness
they melt into misery
there was also lust
you have blinded my people
now, you want my wife?
the king screams in anger
his whole body is trembling
it's raining - it's raining blood
it's raining - the bard's curse
it's raining - it's raining blood
it's raining - the bard's curse
the king's sword glinting
stabs through the boy's chest
instead of the golden songs
a stream of blood now escapes
the boy has taken his last breath
in his master's arms
the elder lets loose a bloodcurdling screm
the marble hall shatters
you accursed murderer
you curse on the bards' profession
all your struggles were in vain
because blood now stains your glory
the king's name lies forgotten
no song, no tale tells his story
neglected and forgotten
that's the bard's curse
it's raining - it's raining blood
it's raining - the bard's curse
it's raining - it's raining blood
it's raining - the bard's curse
