Boots on the roads of the world
Cloak covered in a century of dust
I've seen empires born, burn, and blur
And still remember every gust
Young girl skips beside me
Her eyes wide, braid undone
You measure life in seasons
I'll measure when I'm done
Rumors of the demon king
We're walking back through everything
Where I found friends
Where I lost fear
You'll see why we're standing here
Time cuts deep but I don't bleed
A thousand years and I still lead
Legends of the demon king
We'll make sure those legends sing, no more
You ask to see my magic tome
With tricks that seem like jokes
A charm that sweetens water
A jinx that bends old oaks
You say, They're useless master
I say, So was hope
Till one whispered cantrip
Held a dying town's last rope
Rumors of the demon king
We're walking back through everything
Where I lost rage
Where I found grace
You'll learn the lines etched in this place
Time runs fast for hearts like yours
You sprint on through closing doors
Legends of the demon king
We'll make sure those legends sing, no more
Your hand in mine
We walk a road so vast
You live in future
I only see the past
But with your help, I might begin
To learn to live again
Demonic shadow looms
But hope's light surely blooms
Axe and shield
That laughing roar
Elf, you're still too tame for war
Beard hiding laughing smile
The dwarf still goes the extra mile
Behind him, brash and breathing hard
Young blade with shaking hands
Scared of travel through these lands
Walk beside me, find your strength
The darkest shadow grows it's length
Rumors of the demon king
We're walking back through everything
Old ears hear young hot flame
On the road that hides your shame
Time splits paths
Then knots them tight
We're three sparks in the same dark night
Legends of the demon king
We'll make sure those legends sing, no more
So, walk young ones, behind me
Let him swing and let him swear
Let the young girl blush, let her stare
We travel this land, sea, and air
Down the path of those who'll dare
To crack the door and raise the gate
To learn the demon king's true fate
We'll write new tales and flip the script
And venture to that deepest crypt
Rumors of the demon king
We're running to our everything
Find the castle that hides the night
To put an end to fear's dark sight
Time, this time
Holds all sway
The evil lord's not gone away
Legends of the demon king
Those legends aren't rumors, anymore
