The King of Elfland’s Daughter Lyrics by Loot the Body

+5EP

2023

On their knees the men of Erl went to supplicate their king
And said for seven hundred years we have been ruled by your kin
But now we yearn for something more to be ruled by a fey lord
Said the king “let this be done” so he sent for his own son
The command from his lord father
To wed the King of Elfland's Daughter
He rode far and further still until he reached the twilight fields
Where he saw thе maiden fey crowned by icе and light of day
Unbeknown to her own father
He wooed the King of Elfland's Daughter
She slipped away to the land of bone and clay
Where the seasons pass and stars are mild
They wed in love and had a child that way
From a tower far away where her father did survey
And sang a rune so black and cold to bring her back to his control
To the arms of her lord father
Returned the King of Elfland’s Daughter
Returned the King of Elfland’s Daughter
Returned the King of Elfland’s Daughter
