Lyrics:
Come all, and hear my tale!
Of hero's might and love's prevail!
Young and old, hear the call!
Of the man known to all!
Here it begins, in the city Edeen
With a boy no older than seventeen
Young Prince Eric, a restless lad
Was tired of all the kingdom had
In his dreams he heard a voice
That beckoned to some far off place
Telling of a Hero's Choice
That would some distant fate erase
Take your sword
O brave one...
Guide your steps
To heed the call
Wherever might
Your fate become
Hear the heart
That beats in all
Without a word, he left the place
Taking only what he wouldn't waste
A sword and scale he felt was right
To face whatever lurked at night
Three days he traveled a quiet road
Toward the mountains' mist
There a village he'd never known
Held a terrible twist
Take your sword
O brave one...
Guide your steps
To heed the call
Wherever might
Your fate become
Hear the heart
That beats in all
A girl, they cried, was taken up!
By some foul and wretched thing!
To the mountains high above
Back to home, the child bring!
So, taking up his sword
Young Eric found a way
By the tracks the creature left
When he had stolen yesterday
For miles and miles the path led up
Until a sullen place he found
Dark and dank, the creature crept
In a cave beneath the ground
He sprang upon the wretched thing!
Waving fire in his face!
But a song of laughter he did sing!
That echoed 'round the horrid place
"Come from there! O creeping one!"
Eric called with sword alight
"I would know what you had done
With that poor girl upon this night!"
Again the laughter filled the dark
As from the shadows did he spring
His grinning face would leave a mark
"I already ate the wretched thing!"
He cast him off with burning rage
And cleft the wicked thing in half
"You lie!" cried Eric, his tongue aflame
"I don't believe your foul craft!"
Take your sword
O brave one...
Guide your heart
To hear the call
Wherever might
Your fate become
Hear the heart
That beats in all
And there within the deepest part
Of that awful place
Eric heard a beating heart
The little girl was safe
