The Lost Kingdom


I'm walkin through the kingdom
of Bowerfield
Searching for a diamond
who seems to be very well concealed
As I'm walking down the road
I see trouble and dispair
There is smoke beyond the treetops
There is fear in the air
I see a burned down house
on the top of a hill
A broken wing
on an abandoned mill
I see starving people
full of dust and soot
In the black muddy river
a dead man float
I see the corpse of a horse
lying beside the road
A broken wagon
with a broken load
I see people dying
I see people in need
As i'm walking the lost kingdom
of Bowerfield

//How am I supposed to find a diamond
in this wounded land
It could be hidden anywere
deep beneath the desert sand
Or in the middle of the forrest
Or deep down in the mountain caves
Or out there in the ocean
Deep beneath the waves//

How am I supposed to find a diamond
here under the sun
Somewhere in the distance
I hear the beat of a drum
I'm standing in a crossroad
and wonder which way to go
I hear a child who's crying
and it makes me crying too
a little boy sitting
on a stump all alone
He tells me that somebody
burned down his home
He became an orphan child
right after the kingdoms fall
When he thinks about his future
he sees no future at all
Out there in the forrest
I hear a wild wolf howl
The little boy is eating
from an empty bowl
I ask him to come with me
but he don't wanna leave
I'm walking the lost kingdom
of Bowerfield




Walking through the desert
it's just me and the moon
Somewhere in the sand
I'm supposed to find a magic stone
I hear a dreadful sound
from a rattlesnake
I mustn't fall asleep .
So I better stay awake
The sun will kill me
when the morning comes
If i shall make it through the desert
I better keep on movin on
Walking through the night
until the sun arise
The desert is behind
I'm nearly paralized
Ten feet futher on
I see a wounded horse
Flies are buzzing around
a dead mans corpse
A fallen soldier
with a broken shield
As I'm walking through kingdom
of Bowerfield


Walkin through the kingdom
on a narrow road
I have to pay a toll
to pass the bridge over the flow
After a while I arrive
to an old and dirty town
Where all the people seems to suspect me
and stares towards the ground
I see a closed down bakery
with no bread to sell
I see People who drinks water
from a poisoned well
A blind man standing
in the corner of the square
He's begging for food
but no one seems to care
I see a knight on a horse.
He's smiling to his wife
Who sells bread from a basket
to a very high price
I see Oppression, wrong and greed
As i'm walkin the lost kingdom
of Bowerfield


A robber kills a man
right where he stands
And takes all of his belongings
from his lifeless hands
I try to look the other way
when something screams for a revange
I throw a stone towards the robber
but he runs out of range
Maybe I made him angry
cause now he's comin' back for me
Maybe I should run
but my instincts don't agree
I overwhelm the robber
and stab him with his knife
I refer the booty to the victim
but it won't bring him back to life
A villager said: this bandit
has been harassing us every day
We are all now very happy
that he finally had to pay
I see murder, steal
and a dirty deed
as I walkin the lost kingdom
of Bowerfield


How am I supposed to find a diamond
here under the moon
My feet are bleeding
I'm about to break down soon
I've walked a hundred miles
and seen a hundred sins
I can feel the desperation
coming from within
An old lady in a coat
now standing in the way
She's walks up right in front of me.
In a hoarse voice she slowly says:
I know what you are searching for
and I know who you are
She says: look towards the sky
and follow you star
Without another word
the old lady disappeares
her voice that sounded so wisely
still rings in my ears
With a determined mind
I now proceed
Walking the lost kingdom
of Bowerfield
