Victoria Carbol - Song of the Witch Kingdom (A Throne of Glass Theme)

Details

Description

Best heard with good headphones. Contains Kingdom of Ash spoilers.

An original song inspired by the Witch Kingdom in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. This song will be released on streaming services such as Apple Music and Spotify later this year with the release of my album, Bookish Songs Vol. 2.

The chorus lyrics are (mostly) taken from the curse penned by Sarah J Maas in the Throne of Glass series:
Blood to blood and soul to soul, together this was done, and only together it can be undone. Be the bridge, be the light. When iron melts, when flowers spring from fields of blood - let the land be witness, and return home.

Lyrics:
Hark, my child, come listen close
Let me tell you of tale
Of a people cursed, a land destroyed
Of a darkness that prevailed
A witch kingdom once tall and proud
Was ruled by Crochan queens
Rhiannon fair was last of these
For hatred stirred beneath

The Crochan queens were thus betrayed
By those of iron teeth
Three days, three nights the battled raged
Til every heartbeat ceased
And as she fell, Rhiannon last
Stretched out a vengeful hand
"Heed my words and heed my curse
Or ne’er return to this here land.”

She said blood to blood
And soul to soul
Together this was done
And only together
Can it be undone
Be the bridge, be the light
And when the iron melts
When flowers spring from killing fields
Only then the land shall be won

Five hundred years the land was dry
All witches lost and scattered
Blackbeak, Blueblood, Yellowlegs
Their magic dead and shattered
With Crochans gone, hope there was none
To bind and break the curse
Til silver-haired and crooked hearted
Manon learned of her birth

Wing Leader and Blackbeak heir
Devourer of souls
The long lost child of Crochan blood
With eyes of burning gold
Both ancient queen, iron warrior
With Thirteen at her side
They crowned her with a ring of stars
A people unified

Blood to blood
And soul to soul
Together this was done
And only together
Can it be undone
Be the bridge, be the light
And when the iron melts
When flowers spring from killing fields
Only then the land shall be won

In final days a king arose
To bathe the world in blood
High Queen Manon would not be cowed
By his demonic flood
With every clan of witches
Met she mortals, met she fae
And in the hills of Terrasen
The last stand of light was made

With magic dark and cunning
Demons sought to breach the wall
Should they have broken Orynth's gates
Then all Erilea fall
So Thirteen left High Queen to live
And Yielded up their lives
Blood unified, blood payment made
Flower bloomed and dead land sighed

Blood to blood
And soul to soul
Together this was done
And only together has it been undone
These the bridge, these the light
Here now the iron melts
Here flowers spring from killing fields
Here now the land is won

See flowers spring from killing fields
See now your land is won
