The Wizard's Vengeance

[Legend cover]Underneath his boulder fortressThe Wizard plots the King's demiseMixing potions, sifting powders,Watching with his evil eyesThe body count has risenFrom sorcery that he's performedExperiments of bloody tortureMurderous plagues the people mournHe sends the falcon hunting as he looks into the crystalSees lords and ladies dancing at the new kings celebrationHe puts his fingers to his chin to plan his best surpriseDemonic brainstorms fill his thinkingSitting in his chamber roomThe king will die before morningAnd he will step out from the gloomFifteen years proceeded slowlyThe wizard lived his life aloneLying many sleepless nightsHe vowed that he'd posses the throneBarring gifts he's riding from the forest to the castleStanding there with open arms the king will drink the potionHe'll laugh and dance then find his sleep and die beneath the moonThe court is total chaosThe guards were summoned much too lateThe Wizard stands before them chantingIn silence he decides their fate:"I am the Wizard, wise and good andI shall rule from this day on,The King's untimely passing has left this throne I sit upon!""Do not defy my bidding for my magic has the powerTo turn you into statuesIf you meet with my displeasure,You look at me as thoughI'm mad but soon you shall be gone!"
