Music information
Lyrics
There was a friendly but naive king
who wed a very nasty queen.
The king was loved but
the queen was feared.
She had a secret kept from the king
to rule the kingdom as her own.
The king knew not, his bride seemed
good as gold.
'Till one day strolling in his court,
an arrow pierced the kind king's heart.
He lost his life and
his lady love.
In-game usage
Used during the scene where Chris Redfield views Alexia Ashford stroking Alfred Ashford's dead body. Various instrumental versions are used throughout the game making it one of the game's main themes.
Further notes
- In the files of the game, there's an extended version not heard on the OST. It contains additional lyrics between "the queen was feared" and "till one day strolling in his court". The lyrics don't seem to match with the rhythm of the rest of the track so this may be why it was never used.[1][2]
