lyrics

Youngest son of a king who traded his heir
Raised by wolves, a hostage child
His homeland called across the jagged seas
Was he a guest or captive?

So keen to impress his father
So boastful, vain with pride
Looked down on, disrespected
Betrayal, paid the price

Callous murder of salt and iron
3 strikes, beheaded, a ruthless crime

Youngest son of a king who traded his heir
Raised by wolves, a hostage child
His homeland called across the jagged seas
Was it greed or apathy?

Walked into fool’s rebellion
Power lust over-extended
Walked into fool’s rebellion
So far from home and captured by a spineless bastard

Vile torture, limbs lost, flayed skin
Mind broken, deconstructed, human pet

Youngest son of a king who traded his heir
Raised by wolves
His homeland called across the narrow seas
Was anything left?

Baptised in salt
A man reborn
Swore an oath to serve the throne
Double crossed
A plead for help
A shadow of his former self

Tortured and flayed
Humiliate the traitor
Tortured and flayed
Humiliate the traitor

Turned it around to, defend the ones who
had fed and taken him in as a child
Sacrificed himself to protect them
Turned it around to, suffer the long night
