Crystal Eyes The Power Behind The Throne Lyrics

The Power Behind The Throne Lyrics

[Intro:]

Once there was a mighty king

whose tragedy bards still
sing

He ruled his realm right and fair,

doing evil no one ever
dared



Then one day a stranger came

"Randal," He said, "is my
name

the art of magics is my trade

and I'll entertain if I get
paid"



And the king gladly took him in,

never seeing the
wizard's grin

From that day the blissful years

forever changed into
times of fear



[Pre-Chorus]

Day by day, the wizard was slowly
taking control

Day by day, the king was slowly losing his soul



[Chorus]

And no one could see

the shadow, which fell

upon
the old king

A sinister spell!

The cause of his pain

no one
could tell

The wizard just laughed,

his plan worked so well!



As the wizard rose in might,

he turned the king from the
light

The king became grim and cold

and did whatever Randal told



The king began a terror reign,

taught his people feel pain

They never knew that he was prone

to the power behind the throne



[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]



The malice gleamed in the
wizard's eyes

when he was feeding the king with lies



[Solo:
Dahl - Nyberg]

[Chorus]
