They were attacked by surprise
In the middle of the night
They didn't stand a single chance
A single chance to fight
After the battle they gathered around the king
They had never seen that man so sad
I'm riding out to get those men
Who hurt my people bad, so bad
The king will return with gold in his hand
The castle will burn in the enemy land
The king will return with gold in his hand
The castle will burn in the enemy land
Woah, he will save our people
When two springs had passed
A messenger came down the track
He said that he had heard great news
The king is coming back
Oh, the time he was gone
They suffered bad in misery
They didn't know the way
Everyone was shouting, save our kingdom now
The king will return with gold in his hand
The castle will burn in the enemy land
The king will return with gold in his hand
The castle will burn in the enemy land
Woah, he will save our people
They suffered bad in pain
The time he was away
But maybe now they could survive
Now they could survive
When the king came down the hill
To his people and his lands
There were many tears that touched the ground
Made marks in the sand
Yes, now they could start all over again
And live in peace throughout the time
Everyone was shouting
When the king came down the hill
The king is returning with gold in his hand
The castle is burning in the enemy land
The king is returning with gold in his hand, ooh baby
The castle is burning in the enemy land
Yeah, the king is returning with gold in his hand
The castle is burning in the enemy land
The king is returning with gold in his hand
The castle is burning in the enemy land
The king is returning with gold in his hand
The castle is burning in the enemy land
The king is returning with gold in his hand
The castle is burning in the enemy land
The king is returning with gold in his hand
