Song Of The Witch Kingdom

A C Hark, my child, come listen close G D Let me tell you of a tale A C Of a people cursed, a land destroyed E Of a darkness that prevailed C A witch kingdom once tall and proud D Was ruled by Crochan queens C Rhiannon fair was last of these Am For hatred stirred beneath Am Am Hey-- ah Am C The Crochan queens were thus betrayed D By those of iron teeth Am C Three days, three nights the battle raged E Til every heartbeat ceased Am C And as she fell, Rhiannon last D Stretched out a vengeful hand "Heed my words and heed my curse Am Or ne’er return to this here land.” Am Am Hey-- ah Am She said blood to blood C And soul to soul D Together this was done Am C And only together G E Can it be undone Am C Be the bridge, be the light D And when the iron melts When flowers spring from killing fields G Am Only then the land shall be won E Am Five hundred years the land was dry C All witches lost and scattered Blackbeak, Blueblood, Yellowlegs G E Their magic dead and shattered Am C With Crochans gone, hope there was none G D To bind and break the curse C Til silver-haired and crooked hearted Am Manon learned of her birth Am Am Hey-- ah C Wing Leader and Blackbeak heir G D Devourer of souls C The long lost child of Crochan blood G E With eyes of burning gold Am C Both ancient queen, iron warrior D With Thirteen at her side Am C They crowned her with a ring of stars Am A people unified Am Am Hey-- ah Am Blood to blood And soul to soul G D Together this was done Am C And only together G E Can it be undone Am C Be the bridge, be the light G D And when the iron melts Am D When flowers spring from killing fields Am Only then the land shall be won Am E Am G Am In final days a king arose G To bathe the world in blood C High Queen Manon would not be cowed E By his demonic flood Am C With every clan of witches G D Met she mortals, met she fae C And in the hills of Terrasen Am The last stand of light was made Am Am Hey-- ah Am C With magic dark and cunning G D Demons sought to breach the walls Am C Should they have broken Orynth's gates G E Then all Erilea fall Am C So Thirteen left High Queen to live G D And Yielded up their lives C Blood unified, blood payment made Am Flowers bloomed and dead land sighed Am Am Hey-- ah Am Blood to blood C And soul to soul G D Together this was done C G E And only together has it been undone Am These the bridge, these the light G D Here now the iron melts Am D Here flowers spring from killing fields Am Here now the land is won D Am See flowers spring from killing fields D Am See now your land is won Am Am Hey-- ah
