Fateful Encounter

from Shadows of Lonehill by RAVENTHORN

lyrics

Seth was escaping through backstreets
Thinking about what has just happened to him this night
Eyes open wide to lord regent’s deceit
His filthy scheme to frame him now stood out in plain sight
Once Seth approached a turn to main street
Patrol of guards rushed past him scouring the place like hounds
And for a moment his heart skipped a beat
Yet he remained unnoticed in shade making no sound

While our hero made his way out
Lord regent got informed about the gruesome crimes
News in him planted seeds of doubt
Why didn’t Seth report back to him after all this time?
He hitched up the horses to pay
A visit to our royal assassin’s lodging
Meanwhile Seth’s not far away
And sure, he’ll be back home in no time without getting caught

Seth gets in his
Room goes straight to
Bed after the nights
He hasn’t slept

Right as he fell into Morpheus’ realm
Clutter of hooves approached where our hero dwells
Regent set foot on the cobblestone paving
Hungry for answers the truth he was craving

Silence was broken by four loud knocks

Regent was now standing in front of our hero’s door
Seth now awake stood up to greet unexpected guest
They walked inside stepping on tiles of the creaky floor
Sat on the two dusty chairs both visibly distressed
Regent was informed by Seth about completed task
“Have you heard about what happened at the ball that vile night?”
Even before Seth answered his gaze fell on a mask
Scarlett as blood on Seth’s sleeve caught by lord’s seeking sight

Suspicion rose
Lord Regent rashly decided to end the discourse
He shook Seth’s hand
And said that he’s got some business that he has to attend to
When regent left
Seth went to bed not suspecting that he’d just been caught
He dreamt in peace
Not knowing that his serene expectations of life were to end

Horses are hitched
Carriage moves
To abattoir
Owned by a gang
Cleavers - their name
Infamous mob
Feared by the folks
From all around
Lord’s special task
The gangsters await
The jangling of coins
They’re eager to hear
They will teach him
How to obey
And not to pry
In other’s affairs
