Ophthalamia

Final Hour Of Joy

Ophthalamia


[words: It, All ; tunes: Night, Bone] 

The army is scattered and I have risen in rank At the castle 
of mine they must prepare a feast With the early morning mist news 
of victory arrived Triumph so great for a day in it's moment of glory 
The castle was suddenly filled with life as never before 
And a feast as glorious as the deeds was to be 

In the midst of happiness plans of evil were made A conspiracy against 
the king a murder in greatest secrecy Take his life steal his crown and 
burn his soul Kill the king strike him down and kiss the sin I must rule 
and will not fear drown my doubts Take this land as my own and rule it 
with my life And let songs be written of my magnificence About my sins 
none will hear I must kill the king by the rise of the morning blossom 
And this land I will rule with my precious wife 

So secretly and in sin the murder of the king was planned 
The growing evil in my heart has finally been set free 
The castle was suddenly filled with death and much pain 
And the feast as glorious as their deeds was now over 
The prophecy of the witches must come true What foretold 
was now grasped by destiny Heartless and filled with dread 
the plans grew for what they planned for 

Let us kill the king with pleasure
