lyrics

Once upon a time
Next to the strangest river
Where the noon kisses the night
Was singing a monster

He was known as the worst singer
As bad as coming from hell
Was trying to find an answer
In his horrible quell

She ran away from her kingdom
The non-melody land
Attracted far from her home
By what she hadn't found and

Where, every drawn she used to dream
Of a Lonely escape
She was now trampling upon her gleam
Loved in her cape

She raomed for days, randoming her way
Through hills, valleys and glades
Went into without without a pray
The forest of the shades

When she arrived by the river
Filled by weakness and fear
She saw asleep the monster
And couldn't stifle her scream

"At least someone to sing for"
And he yelled his art to his prowl
She panicked first then she felt
Her soul touched by this swell

But for years she learned the stabbing
With her eyes and with her dagger
The song made the first one crying
The second one a bleeding liver
