Lyrics

There's no end, there's no beginning to the old man's story
Does he still remember me from lives gone by?
Oh, I see his spirit rising upon the back of time
I've got nowhere to hide
Will he keep a place for me?
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity's wings
Oh
In his eyes, an ocean's burning
Swollen seas of tears
Troubled mind, the beating war drums in his ears
No-one ever hears his warning
Am I the one he calls?
When they tell me they're afraid, some say I'll be put away
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity's wings
Oh
My blood will spill my blood
Oh
My blood will spill my blood
In the wisdom of the prophet's never-ending tale
"Open up the eyes within your mind" he said
Crowned in his ancient glory
There's a king within us all
Some will say it's all in vain, that he doesn't have a name
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity's wings
Oh
