Am D E Am Raised to do battle in war with the demons / Your magic was potent with fury and flame Am D E Am Frieren the slayer, the demon betrayer / Leave no survivors to pass on your name Am D E Am With spells and with magic passed on by your master / So few survivors of race genocide Am D E Am No room in your heart frozen cold with dispassion / No room for the love who would walk by your side Am G D Am Give me a spell that will unfreeze my feelings Am G D E Give me a spell with remarkable powers G D Am E Let me bring forth a most beautiful vision C D G Teach me the spell for a field full of flowers Am D E Am Ten years adventure with noble companions / Fake hero, scared fighter, corruptible priest Am D E Am Ten years of travel, assisting the people / Fighting the demons, 'til conflict had ceased Am D E Am Returning as heroes, the Demon King killers / Brought forth an era of relief and rest Am D E Am The heroes triumphant, but life must move onwards / The slow wheel of years even elven lives test REFRAIN Am D E Am Too quickly the years roll, too soon the grey bells toll / She grieves at their graves for a flame once was burning Am D E Am She wanders and wonders at fragile man's lifespan / And would not seek partner but for promise returning Am D E Am She takes an apprentice to train up in mage craft / A young human girl too familiar with grief Am D E Am Retracing the path of the party of heroes / Looking to find her own path for relief REFRAIN
