Darkened woods Tranquil Wolf-sea Flax was spun by a lovely hand Soothing breeze Reassuring As tender hands of maiden clasped For seven winters they were longing For seven winters they had stayed Till the call of the Darkwood Forest Parted them for a different fate Golden ring Was her last gift Before fading into dusk And this gift He had treasured Hoping she would one day return But the king had heard of this craftsman Sent his riders, both tall and fierce He was seized under waning moonlight And alas, they did his ring steal Here I am Once free man Now I'm trapped I will have my revenge Right where I stand Don't expect I'll be kept Till my death 'Cause I'll have my revenge This I swear Crashing waves Lonesome Sea-place Forced to work at the king's command Prove his skill At the anvil Where he shows off his finest craft Brightest blade by the king was taken To his daughter he gave the ring And the smith, he was ordered hamstrung To prevent him from escaping None perceived That the blacksmith Had been working long on a plan To escape This horrid island And get revenge upon the king And as such he had asked the king's sons Come tomorrow, you two alone If you want gold, it shall be given Tell not the maidens or household folk Here I am Once free man Now I'm trapped I will have my revenge Right where I stand Don't expect I'll be kept Till my death 'Cause I'll have my revenge This I swear From your sons, endless juice will flow I bestow this gift upon thee great king By my craft, their bare skulls will last As goblets they will stand within thine great halls For thy wife, gems have I devised So that she will look always in their eyes Teeth thee shall find, perfectly aligned On a golden pin as a gift to thy daughter Mocked with shame she will live to her last days Oh can't you see this was done by your harsh ways? For now you know the agony that I have felt You suffer now as by your hand woe was dealt Heed my words Here I am Once free man Now I'm trapped I will have my revenge Right where I stand Don't expect I'll be kept Till my death 'Cause I'll have my revenge This I swear
