Lyric

Dusk descended on the castle yard

The blacksmith had already left his forge

The people remembered the story

Of the man who carried his word

The horse struck a stone's pace

The sound of hooves resounded in the market square

The sword remained at peace on its belt

Only when faced with injustice did it rise

The knight swore to protect

He stood by the people's side year after year

The one who had gained power unjustly fell

The honest one was allowed to farm the land

The children watched, stood in wonder

The old men raised their hats

He chose peace as his treasure

The gold remained in the purses of others

The knight swore to protect

He stood by the people's side year after year

The one who had gained power unjustly fell

The honest one was allowed to farm the land

Tell me again by the campfire

When the autumn evening brings darkness

Here once lived a man

Who kept his promise
