lyrics

Can you run, can you hide
Can you run, can you ride

The king and his men, have retreated in the castle
The king and his men, have fled from the battle
The king and his men, have retreated from the city walls
The king and his men, have fled like cowards

Cowards (X4)

Foul treachery leads the battle
Into slaughter, under the castle
The king and his men retreat from the battle
They hide like cowards, hide like traitors
(X2)

Fear of rebellion, fear of his people
The king has grown fearful of his own kingdom
Fear of his army, fear of the sunlight
Fear of the storm that comes to wipe him out

But he knows he can not fight, he knows
He can not win against the people grown angry
Thus, he knows he can not trust, his own men
To take out, the young men planning rebellion

Aaaah, aaaah
Aaaah, he will let Magnaroth do the slaughter
Aaaah, thus the king does the first betrayal

The king and his men, have retreated in the castle
The king and his men, have fled from the battle
The king and his men, have retreated from the city walls
The king and his men, have fled like cowards

Foul treachery leads the battle
Into slaughter, under the castle
The king and his men retreat from the battle
They hide like cowards, hide like traitors
(X2)

Late at night, the king meets Magnaroth
One wants power, one wants plunder
The king makes the oath not to protect
The lord makes his own, not to spare men

One gets protection against a rebellion
One gets to plunder without a fight
The traitor retreats to his castle in secret
The lord leads his army to the slaughter

Aaaah, aaaah
Aaaah, he will let Magnaroth do the slaughter
Aaaah, thus the king does the first betrayal

Aaaah, aaaah
Aaaah, he will let Magnaroth do the slaughter
Aaaah, thus the king does the first betrayal

The king and his men, have retreated in the castle
The king and his men, have fled from the battle
The king and his men, have retreated from the city walls
The king and his men, have fled like cowards

Foul treachery leads the battle
Into slaughter, under the castle
The king and his men retreat from the battle
They hide like cowards, hide like traitors
(X2)
