A Grain of Truth Songtext
von Elvenking

A line of blackthorns bordering the side of the way
That horses rode for days
A flock of starlings circling above the ravine
Throughout the damp and haze

A naked branch of old oaks twisted
By the coils of wild vines twirling
A parchment filled with runes
And a deep-blue rose

I′ll find you tonight - feel my desire
A lady dressed in white - blood and fire
The creature won't die - feel my desire
And in the dead of night - hear the infernal choir

Deep in the woods a rotten castle staring the lands
From hilltop high above
A bloodshot eyed foul creature living a quarantine
Duped by a spell of love


A grain of truth. It must be hidden
In the legends, in the stories
A final spark of hope
To walk away

I′ll find you tonight - feel my desire
A lady dressed in white - blood and fire
The creature won't die - feel my desire
And in the dead of night - hear the infernal choir

I'm lost in a nightmare
I will free you from the curse you bear
Blood′s not the answer
Blood′s the reason that I still walk this earth

I'm falling to pieces
My love don′t you dare to despair
The death you're unfolding
A hex you′ll endure right by my side

For the heinous maleficia of the mind and the flesh
Clad in monstrous guise, ill fated vest never to undress
A gigantic bear like head and tongue that flickers like flame
A monster in a monster's skin, the true evidence of shame


I′ll find you tonight - feel my desire
A lady dressed in white - blood and fire
The creature won't die - feel my desire
And in the dead of night - hear the infernal choir

A hex you'll endure right by my side
