I'll waste no time i will not sleep
Right now i will begin
I take my dagger (and) my lock-picks
For i shall kill and steal
I started walking hours ago
I must be near the woods
Where i'm heading, i don't know
Nor where's the tower of doom
Finally i made my way
To this scary place
And now its time for me to pay
The price of avarice
I'm pacing through, this tiring path
My will's what keeps me going
Can't find the chest, can't find the map
Oh, what is this that's glowing
A faery in sight, a glorious sight
She dances (and) leads me to
The chest that i couldn't find
For big they are the woods
(come follow me, for i'm the one
Who'll lead you to the map)
After two days, after two nights
After the dangers (which i have) past
I've killed three orcs, i've killed a knight
But have the the map at last
(you have it now, sneak inside
The demon please set free)
(chorus)
Through the woods, by rivers side
Into wealth i will ride
Perilous is, perilous was
Perilous shall it be
This quest for gold, the quest for more
Or will it end with death?
Am i the one to cross the bridge
Am i to pick the lock
Of the chest where the gem is said
To exist till i break in
Perilous is, perilous was
Perilous shall it be
Runes in map, (i) can't understand
Can only read "garul"
What could this be? could it be,
The name of a rich king
The more i walk, the closer (i) get
The more i feel the gem
I hear it now, it's calling me
"come get me, make me free"
According to, the ancient map
The tower is two hours walk
Can't wait to see, can't wait (to) break in
Can't wait to sneak inside
(chorus)
Through the woods, by rivers side
Into wealth i will ride
Perilous is, perilous was
Perilous shall it be
This quest for gold, the quest for more
Or will it end with death?
Am i the one to cross the bridge
Am i to pick the lock
Of the chest where the gem is said
To exist till i break in
Perilous is, perilous was
Perilous shall it be
