The Ring (feat. Glen Drover) Lyrics

Music & lyrics written by Alex Hunzinger

(Inspired by "The Antique Ring" by Nathaniel Hawthorne)

This is a never-ending story
But no fair maiden and no king
Only the jealous human nature
This is the story of the Ring

The Ring was forged in pure affection
But led to pain and broken faith
And here began the long misfortune
The Ring has fallen in disgrace

A pledge of deceit between fellow man
Symbol of faith and betrayal
Used as seduction in every plan
The ancient Ring is still shining...

Bright as a star – red glowing fire
Only the hearts burn in the flames of the Ring

The Ring was strict and unrelenting
And turning passion into hate
As long as man won't stop the craving
The Ring fulfills its given fate

Acts of abuse and adultery
Long is the list of offences
Sinister fortune and misery
The ancient Ring is still shining...

Just a deed of charity
Can reverse the sorcery
And the dark infernal red
Turns to pure and sparkling white instead

Bright as a star – white glowing fire

Innocent hearts rise in the shining

Bright as a star – white glowing fire
Innocent hearts rise in the shine of the Ring
