Branded
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been called many names, even painted a traitor
Born just to be my father's doom
A pawn to be used sooner or later
But already cursed inside the womb
How can I forgive the man
Who'd devise a plan
Meant to kill his own blood
Sending boys my age out on the sea
Hoping one of them was me
Just to be free
Now I'm branded
Stranded
Like an evil spirit lost in time
Branded
Left empty handed
But I'll be back and claim what's mine
He's wrong to believe that he can defy me
'cause I won't rest till justice is done
I've got a right that he can't deny me
His incestuous rebel bastard son
Like a wolf outside the pack
Ready to attack
Only waiting for the right time
I'll take the Crown by sheer surprise
Confront him with his lies
He'll pay the price
Cause I'm branded...
That night I made him lose his innocence
His only heir begotten in ignorance
He should have traced me
Found me and raised me
But he chose to hate me instead
For what you did there is no remedy
You took his seed to make his enemy
He'll never accept you
Befriend and protect you
No, he only wanted you dead!
Like a wolf outside the pack
Ready to attack
Only waiting for the right time
I'll take the Crown by sheer surprise
Confront him with his lies
He'll pay the price
So we're branded
Stranded
Like an evil spirit lost in time
Branded
Left empty handed
But I'll be back and claim what's mine
We're branded
Branded
