[Storyteller:]

Hello weary traveler,
You strike me, an admirer, of ancient lore
With apenchant I see 
For old history 
As you’ve never heard it before

It’s a familiar tale 
Of a once mighty king
But the story you know
Goes much deeper, so
Sit back as I tell you and sing

There once was a colt with a coat dark as coal
Who had eyes of a bright burning red
Courageous and strong, it was not very long
‘til the crown was bestowed on his head

For the king in the North had to be a great force
To survive all the harsh elements
But the power he held from the keep where he dwelled
Would lead to his people’s lament

But there was a time 
When [bad word] was kind
When the kingdom was wealthy and thrived
Someone caught his eye, 
And he soon realized, 
That he wanted a wife by his side

He thought all was right,
They saw eye to eye,
princess from a Southern ally.
His heart had grown fond,
As they fostered a bond,
That the world could not ever defy

[Choir:]
Grand Regent
Unequaled
Transcendent
Eternal

[Storyteller:]
Both hearts longing for simple love to soar
But nothing’s simple for kingdoms and kings.
What stands certainly?
For eternity?
Fear what a veiled future brings 

One thing’s for sure, 
As the ages move on
The harshest of debts
Is to live with regret
So chase what you love,
Or you’ll find it’s departed and gone...
