Burgundy Years

Burgundy years
I remember everything
Burgundy years
Death tolls ever dark its cheers

Dark the days that beckon me
Throughout the Northland country
But there was hope once in my heart
When minstrels sang sweet their song
From the cup you made me drink
The potions of uncertainty
My love never did perish
I have kept the memories inside

Burgundy years
I remember everything
Burgundy years
Death tolls ever dark its cheers

Blood it lingers still yet stirring
Where goodwill was once endearing
I've become the caretaker
Dutifully, a saint forlorn
Marriage to the brotherhood
By oaths sworn in magicians woods
The martyr of my Christian name
Slain by the scarlet crusades

Burgundy years
I remember everything
Burgundy years
Death tolls ever dark its cheers

Shall the words of misfits spoken
Be treated as jesters' tokens
There is but a glimmer full
Of the dim light you have cast
In time all heroes depart
But there was hope once in my heart
