Song Of The Witch Kingdom

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

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

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
