Rap de King - Nanatsu No Taizai

Seven hundred years ago in days of yore
Peace was drawn without any strange lore
The great fairy king ruled with tranquility
Yet cautious of humans' unpredictability

That rowdy race was not to be trusted
Leaving destruction wherever they busted
But his best friend felt curiosity's tug
Innocently trying to earn his friendship snug

Betrayed and deceived by human kind
His wings torn off, a cruel bind
All comrades suffered, etched in his core
Their screams of pain, a fiery roar

Harlequin had to make a choice
To protect the forest or let his friend's voice
Be silenced by insane human hands
Punishment for trusting those tyrant bands

He left his home, promising to return
But fate's twist he couldn't discern
Ambushed by a thug, plan gone awry
Forgetting his path, the forest's guardian, a sigh

Nothing worked no matter how he tried
He lost his love and
Failed his vows, till the end
Harlequin, the king, lost, no mend

Miraculously rescued from bitter fate
By a tiny giant, joy's gate
Though losing memory, he'd forget
The promise made, a regret

To save his friends and come back
He grew fond of his sincere knack
Promising to stay by her side
Till his last ride

Unaware he couldn't keep
A tragic event would seep
A fire ravaged the town, Harlequin
Rushed to end it, a sin

But faced the human from the past
Who brutally attacked, aghast
Yet a surprise life had in store
The human was his friend, not a bore

Seeking revenge, a genocidal spree
His best friend turned enemy
Forced to stop him, by any means
Sadly, ending his friend's scenes

Nothing worked no matter how he tried
He lost his love and
Failed his vows, till the end
Harlequin, the king, lost, no mend

Knowing she'd never remember
He erased the love ember
Leaving behind the giant and fairy tale
Bearing the sin, a heavy hail

Imprisoned for his friend's crime
A capital sin, doing time
Reuniting with love of yore
Yet she remembered him no more

Silently he continued his quest
Content with her, the best
Accused of a coup, they fled
Parted ways, no thread

Returning home with nothing to find
A barren land, a shattered mind
Regret for the forest and sister's fate
Guilt for not being there, too late

Frustration and pain, a heavy load
Back to his troop, anger flowed
But warm love saved him once more
His kind heart finally found its core

Life cruel to him, yet he fought
To see her smile, his only thought
The woman who saved his heart
In the past, a fresh start
