Kings Before You

Sitting high atop the mountain
Over all there is to see
The dark side of a rainbow
Touched the earth beside me
From the sky descends the wizard
As he spreads his hands apart
Manifesting right before me
Holding out the sacred heart

He says "You! You are the defender of the land
From the hills to the horizon, from the holy
To the desperate & the damned"

He said, "You are the Kings Before You
That reigned before you
Became the heir to the throne
And like the Kings Before You
I can assure you
Will never stand alone - No no"

When your kingdom is collapsing
Your fortress disappears
Every serpents in a whisper
Coiling lies around your ears
Shed the dead skin from around you
Purge what enemies are near
Moving fast to burn their bridges
Guiding light will soon appear

"Yes you! You are the defender of the land
From the hills to the horizon, from the holy
To the desperate & the damned"

He said, "You are the Kings Before You
That reigned before you
Became the heir to the throne
And like the Kings Before You
I can assure you
Will never stand alone - No no"

Before I leave you on the mountain
You must stare into my eyes
See your failures & your fortunes
There's now lived 1,000 lives
There's no future in your past
There's no flaw in my design
Keep your head & keep your horns sharp
You'll understand in time

"You are the Kings Before You
That reigned before you
Became the heir to the throne
And like the Kings Before You
I can assure you
Will never stand alone - No no"
