At the gardens of the Ivory keep,
A celebration is under way.
The coronation of Darius,
A new general is named this day.
The rebels he slayed, their army dismayed.
He slew the assassin and brought back his blade.
So the tale was told of Darius the bold.
Men gathered round, from the keep and the town,
To revere Darius and the one true crown.
Cheers to Darius, The king's justice!
"My countrymen, behold, my general.
For our land he's an agent of great change."
But as the king proclaimed these final words,
Darius surveilled the kingsguard safely out of range.
He reached down for the weapon hid beneath,
And drew the assassin's blade forth from it's sheath.
"Tyrant Ghermund, meet your justice!"
And he plunged the dagger into the King's chest.
For the crime of regicide,
Darius was bound and tied.
Knowing this night would be his last,
He was taken through Gallows Pass.
Held captive in sorrow
Hangman's noose awaits on the morrow
But they'd not leave him to this fate
There's men to kill and chains to break...
"If one be chained then none be free
No mercy for the enemy"
