In another castle

"In another castle" is a song by LorD and Master recorded during the Dialogue sessions. It is a B-side for "When we were young", the second single from that album. A chiptune-style song, it follows the narrative of a valiant knight seeking his princess, but like Mario's adventures, she's always in another castle, being held captive by an unknown force that keeps one step ahead.

Lyrics

Where is the one 
Whom I am to love 
Beauty abounds 
And grace of above 

I vanquished the beast 
Was the toast of the feast 
Was it worth the fight 
Was what I did right 

Navigated the maze 
Could have been lost for days 
And was it worth the prize 
Just to look in your eyes 

Where is the one 
Whom I am to love 
Beauty abounds 
And grace of above 

I came all this way 
To make enemies pay 
But the feeling does lurk 
What if we do not work 

Can there be valiance 
Without recompense 
Such a selfless act 
Altruism intact 

Where is the one 
Whom I am to love 
Beauty abounds 
And grace of above 

They’re in another castle 
They’re in another place 
Waiting for you to rescue 
They want to see your face 

Where is the one 
Whom I am to love 
Beauty abounds 
And grace of above 

Where is the one 
Whom I am to love 
Beauty abounds 
And grace of above
