Sven's Tower Lyrics

In the tower, there he stood
Employed to watch the ships go by
Not considered a great man
Yet he served his role with pride
'Cross the bay he looked each evening
Always quiet, always calm
But tonight it would be different
He would save them all from harm

It caught his eye, through the black- he saw it
A careless light, a hidden ship - extinguished
A closer look, the enemy - approaching
A fleet of ships, moves toward - the Empire

Away he ran
With his news
In silence

Some of the guards, they tried to stop him
"Let him approach" commanded the Empress
And she heard the urgent warning
An invasion now discovered
Calling out to all her armies
They will not defeat the Empress

He never sounded the alarm
So the invaders wouldn't hear
Heard his plan and saw a chance
To draw the enemy in near

Between the islands and the shore
Is where they caught them unaware
The enemy knew not the land
And ran aground against the sand
The Enemy - caught by surprise - uncertain
They can't escape, a twist of fate - defensive
The island shores were stained with blood - The Empress
From the shores, Empire unleashed - they slaughtered

"Strawberry" the islands named for the blood that day

He knew his fear was just a reaction
Beside the Empress he fought with passion

He watches over the shore
His eyes see it all
The Empress she calls
To him ever more....
