An Old Bard

My father told me once
Listen to me son
What's important in this life
Is to be a righteous man

Now he's gone and left me on my own
With a scar left on my heart
God, I want to live forever!
I will become a bard!

My best friend is a lute in my hand
Sounds of night I have played
Tales of king who conquered the dragon's land

Stories are hidden deep inside me
And I need to set them free
But I cannot do this anymore

chorus

Now he is sitting here alone
An old bard on his throne
Forever young

Memories of the fallen ones
Live in our hearts
Live in our minds
Forever young

Now I'm old, it's a misery
Oh my god, please set me free
Release me from this human flesh of mine

My eternal soul will be roaming free
What happens next I cannot see
Exegi Monumentum

chorus

Now he is sitting here alone
An old bard on his throne
Forever young
Memories of the fallen one
Live in our hearts live in our minds
Forever young!
