Up in the north beyond the icy wall Lived a king and queen in wealth and prosperity The fertile lands so full of life in bloom No one could ever see beyond that peace and harmony Then a darkness crept up from behind And the jealous king soon would find That when a doubting mind is set There's no way to forget Burn on the pyre And begone evil desire Smoke rising higher As the flames will cleanse her soul tonight The king would soon learn about her wicked ways For years it had been known all inside the castle walls Shackled in chains the queen was locked away Waiting for the trial that would surely seal her fate Then a darkness crept up from behind And the jealous king soon would find That when a doubting mind is set There's no way to forget Burn on the pyre And begone evil desire Smoke rising higher As the flames will cleanse her soul tonight When the day had come for the king to say farewell He looked deep in her eyes As the flames touched the sky He turned his back and slowly walked away But in the back of his mind he's so afraid Of what he'll find Then a darkness crept up from behind And the jealous king soon would find That when a doubting mind is set There's no way to forget Burn on the pyre And begone evil desire Smoke rising higher As the flames will cleanse her soul tonight
