The Golden Path

They're calling me a savior
Who saw the dessert tamed
The one who broke the tyrant
The birth of a new age

But it's my name they'll call out
In holy wars to come
The blood they'll shed in my name
Can't stop what's already begun

The schemes of endless years
Wheels moving within wheels
These blue eyes see it clear

And through the twisting threads
Each way the future bends
I've seen the coming ends
The path ahead

The spice will flow
The old ways die
I am the changing
Of the tide
I bring you upheaval
I bring death
But I'll bring you
The golden path

Of all the countless futures
That pass before my eyes
I've witnessed only one path
Where humankind survives

So let me be the monster
I am the only one
The lesson through the ages
Of what we must never become

The schemes of endless years
Wheels moving within wheels
These blue eyes see it clear

And through the twisting threads
Each way the future bends
I've seen the coming ends
The path ahead

The spice will flow
The old ways die
A new imperium
Will rise
I bring you oppression
I bring death
But I'll bring you
The golden path

The spice will flow
The old ways die
The only choice
For humankind
I bring the future
I bring death
But I'll bring you
The golden path

The spice will flow
The old ways die
A plan to echo
Through all time
Make no confusion
I bring death
But I'll bring you
The golden path
