Kingdom Above
The Storyteller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Finally they reached the castle.
When they watched it from the forest they
Quickly realized that
They would never make it on their own.
The castle was heavily guarded by
Soldiers that would easily

Kill our travelers before they even
would come close to the gate.
So they decided that one of them
Would travel back to the land of Kail
to seek help from the guardians and if
He could, he would

Also convince the sorcerers of light
To help them in their quest
The one that was chosen to do
This was the dwarf when he was packing
His things Kira walked towards him
And asked if he was
Afraid, he smiled at her and said

Many years I've sailed on the seas
And never once I've felt any fear
When I go into battle I fight to the death
For what I've done I have no regrets
And if I should be defeated and die
I hope I have proved my courage and might

And that I'll be welcomed to the kingdom above
Were the rainbow meets the sky
Because I know the story will go on
In our world and in the unknown
And I know the story that I've told
Will be here after I'm gone

The rules of my gods, I've always kept strong
The honor of battle, the power of steel
To fight without doubts, and never give in
Then my soul will always win
That's why I don't fear my end
Because if I die then my journey begins
To the place were the mightiest warriors shall gather
And answer to all the gods

Because I know
Oh, just let it be true,
Let me come to you
Show me that the legend is true,




And I'll surrender my steel to you
Because I know
