Anam'Kara - The Baron Lyrics

Glory to the knights of the Hundred Years' War
Marching into battle for the crown they will restore
Mighty warriors, determined to the core
Fighting for freedom like never before
Brothers in arms with Joan of Arc
Swordmaiden, rebellion's spark
And she will forever leave a mark
While this nobleman is drawn into the dark
Murderer! Bathed in the blood of the innocent
Horror of a century
For his sins, he shall never repent
His vile deeds a haunting memory
A fallen hero, with ghosts he returned
For his crimes, he was hanged and burned
His charred remains now laid to rest
Among the corpses over which he obsessed
Truly, there was no other cause, object, or intention than I have said
I have told you greater things than that
Enough to put ten thousand men to death
Abducted, tortured, and maimed
This was the fate of the victims he claimed
The baron's honor, forever stained
And from his riches, nothing remained
The necromancer standing by his side
To summon demons is what they tried
He even offered the remains of a child
But with no answer, he could no longer hide
The last offense would seal his fate
A sacrilege at the church's gate
Now an enemy of clergy and state
But for the children, it was way too late
Murderer! Bathed in the blood of the innocent
Horror of a century
For his sins, he shall never repent
His vile deeds a haunting memory
A fallen hero, with ghosts he returned
For his crimes, he was hanged and burned
His charred remains now laid to rest
Among the corpses over which he obsessed.
