Unicorn Hole - The King’s Right Hand lyrics
[Unicorn Hole - The King’s Right Hand lyrics]
A crowd gathers as the gang
Drags Ulric into town
He is a criminal- this is his new renown
It isn’t long before Garth arrives
With the deadeye Wade and two other knights
Garth thanks the gang
For everything they’ve done
"Despite his ties he’ll serve his time the
Same as anyone else"
Kat says she hopes that it helps
"He could do great things
If he’d behave himself!"
Garth’s gang heads back through
Forsyth Forest dragging Ulric along
They’ll dump him into the Bristol
Dungeon where he belongs
Wade looks him in the eye and
Says "don’t try anything dumb"
"Like fight the king’s right hand
And get crushed by a single thumb?
Oh, I already know the outcome
"Against the man who carries
A hundred pound warhammer
And wears armor that assures
Every assault is deterred
The man who stopped a thug that
Tried to escape on a horse
Lifted both man and mount and
Threw them with unnatural force
That fight I can’t endorse"
That option rejected
Ulric inspects his chains
He hides his excitement
It seems that hope remains
The shackles that he wears
Are themselves worn and have now cracked
When the timing is right
He’ll break free and double back
He hears his own heartbeat
The knights’ attention divides as a
Snow-white crow flies by
Ulric manages to slip away
From their watchful eyes
From afar Garth’s tremendous
Strength is nullified
But an arrow from Wade’s bow scrapes
The bone in Ulric’s thigh
He knows his end is nigh
Garth stomps over to his prey
Now left with no hope to escape
"You betrayed our king- with
Your life you’ll pay
I’d hoped that in those broken chains
You’d think that you had found your recourse"
Ulric’s spirit is crushed
Just before he becomes a crumpled corpse
Drags Ulric into town
He is a criminal- this is his new renown
It isn’t long before Garth arrives
With the deadeye Wade and two other knights
Garth thanks the gang
For everything they’ve done
"Despite his ties he’ll serve his time the
Same as anyone else"
Kat says she hopes that it helps
"He could do great things
If he’d behave himself!"
Garth’s gang heads back through
Forsyth Forest dragging Ulric along
They’ll dump him into the Bristol
Dungeon where he belongs

And get crushed by a single thumb?
Oh, I already know the outcome

Every assault is deterred
The man who stopped a thug that
