[Verse 1]
Lanterns glow on the old dirt road
I got scars from the choices I chose
Every rumor in the tavern says
You can’t outrun the deals you’ve made
Blood on my coat
Halo on my name
Or horns in the mirror
Flicker in the flame
Silver key in a shaking hand
Do I save this house or burn this land
[Chorus]
I am the hero of Albion
Crown or coffin
It’s all the same
Every wish cuts a deeper mark
On this twisted
Tangled
Fragile heart
I hear the past in a distant song
Calling me
Calling me
Hero of Albion
[Verse 2]
Ghosts in the guild hall whisper my deeds
All the gold in the world can’t quiet their pleas
Old oak doors
Hidden chamber below
Family or power—tell me which way to go
Dog at my side
Eyes bright in the dusk
Sees through the lies
Trusts in the trust
Statues watch as the daylight breaks
Judging every step my boots might take
[Chorus]
I am the hero of Albion
Crown or coffin
It’s all the same
Every wish cuts a deeper mark
On this twisted
Tangled
Fragile heart
I hear the past in a distant song
Calling me
Calling me
Hero of Albion
[Bridge]
Will they cheer my name (or curse it)
When the steel runs red at the gate
Every legend’s just a rumor
‘Til you’ve stared your own fate in the face
[Chorus]
I am the hero of Albion
Crown or coffin
It’s all the same
Every wish cuts a deeper mark
On this twisted
Tangled
Fragile heart
I hear the past in a distant song
Calling me
Calling me
Hero of Albion
