Am E
Hey - ah
Am G
Hey - ah
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 Chochan queens
C
Rhiannon fair was last of these
Am
For hatred stirred beneath
Am E
Hey - ah
Am G
Hey - ah
Am C
The Crochan queens were thus betrayed
D
By those with iron teeth
Am C
Three days, three nigths 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 G
Hey - ah
[Refrão]
Am
She said blood to blood
C
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
G Am
Only then the land shall be won
Am E
Hey - ah
Am G
Hey - ah
E Am
Five hundred years the land was dry
C
All witches lost and scattered
Blackbeak, Blueblood, Yellowlegs
G E
Their magic dead and shatterd
Am C
With Crochans gone, hope there was none
G D
To bind and break the curse
C
'Til silver-haired and croocked hearted
Am
Manon learned of her birth
Am E
Hey - ah
Am G
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 G
Hey - ah
[Refrão]
Am
Blood to blood
C
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
G Am
Only then the land shall be won
Am E
Hey - ah
Am G
Hey - ah
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 Tarrasen
Am
The last stand of light was made
Am E
Hey - ah
Am G
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 falls
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 G
Hey - ah
[Refrão]
Am
Blood to blood
C
And soul to soul
G D
Together this was done
C
And only together
G E
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
Am G
Hey - ah
D Am
See flowers spring from killing fields
D Am
See now your land is won
Am G
Hey - ah
