His Final Endeavour

[Part I - An Oncoming Storm]

Here it comes, the moment that is one of both fear and hope

Lurking behind every setting of the Sun

When the Frost King gathered his strength to fight while struggling to cope

With the suffering of himself and his people

To fight for their cause, like the Fey King before

And in the midst of this stands a human child

Can he open their eyes?

'Tis a story of some childhood flaws

Keeps one from grasping nature's laws

Yet like new snow they shone so bright

That fateful night

Off he went (off he went)

A young child (a young child)

Into the (into the)

Unknown wild

Bravely

He went on a quest to make seasons’ kings

Let their swords fall forever

To never be lifted again

And how could he have failed it?

Every other tale he’d been told

Seated round a soothing hearth

Had a happy end

Painted a worldview so innocent

It was the whole of his world

But kings they rise, and they fall

At every equinox

It has no ending

Every war they have fought forgotten

Following each victory or death It is the whole of their world

As the great wheel of time turns

[Part II - Shifting Seasons]

They shall meet, in wood, in glen

Thunder and blizzard will clash again

Their sorrow, in snow and rain

Tears falling for victims of their reign

Weapons raised, impassioned eyes

The air will fill with their battle cries

And the boy just as headstrong

Still thinks that he can right a wrong

[Part III - And Leaves They Fall Still]

You Fey King, burned my skin

Stole my slumber and my kin

For your crimes I curse thee now

They will not last, this I avow

You Frost King, chilled my folk

Confined us under an icy yoke

For your crimes I curse thee now

They will not last, this I avow

The Fey king has danced so proudly

But time has come for summer to end

As the leaves begin to fall down

He's already so much weaker

And as one is slowly dying

The other is then at his strongest

It’s the force of shifting seasons

One that keeps the balance of the wheel

Now they charge with intention to kill

The boy cries, pleads with them to quit

Boldly standing there in their way

Frost King strikes a powerful blow

Autumn leaves now cover the hills

As the throat of summer is slit

Beside him, one who came in the way

A small shape fallen in the snow

[Part IV - The Wheel Turns]

He could not grasp nature’s laws

Or that one can’t always change a mind by just being kind

Off he went (off he went)

A young child (a young child)

Into the (into the)

Unknown wild

So naive

He went on a quest to make season's kings

Let their sword fall forever

But his tries were all in vain

And his spring turned to winter

Every other tale he’d been told

Seated round a soothing hearth

Had a happy end

Painted a worldview so innocent

It was the whole of his world

But kings they rise, and they fall

At every equinox

It has no ending

Every war they have fought forgotten

Following each victory or death

It is the whole of their world

As the great wheel of time turns

But kings they rise, and they fall

At every equinox

It has no ending (no ending)

Every war they have fought forgotten

Following each victory or death

It is the whole of their world

As the great wheel of time turns
