The King's Daughter

There was a king who lived in a castle
So the story always goes
And the king, he had a daughter
Who nobody ever knows
She had a brave and honest heart
And when she lay down at night
She dreamed of becoming a soldier
Fighting for her life

Then one day an army came
And burned the castle to the ground
The king's daughter was never seen
Her body, never found
Some say she ran away
Some say she only hid
But I say
She's still a soldier
Fighting to this day

Now I stand on the hill
Where the castle once stood
And the king who had a daughter
Whom no one understood
With the ghosts all around
And the bones in the ground
Only the blackbird
Only the blackbird sound
Takes me away from now

Oh her voice rises as the wind
A melancholy sadness it brings
Her touch, her hands are the rain
The rain
Now only the blackbird remembers her name

There was a king who lived in a castle
So the story always goes
And the king who had a daughter
No one will ever know
