Lyrics

In the wilderness
Beyond the city
Among the hunters
A wild man haunted the hills
Stronger than a lion
And faster than a stag
He terrified the trappers
Who pleaded for aid
So the temple sent a woman
Who lured him inside
And tamed his strength
But gave him a man's pride
Then she cajoled
And led him on behind
To the city of men
To live among his kind
The king met him in the street
Where they fought a wild battle
Grappling, they set their feet
And made the earth rattle
Thereafter they became the
Greatest of friends
And wandered the world
To its farthest ends
They killed Humbaba of the Wood
And slew the Bull of Heaven
And turned away the
Goddess of Love
In anger the gods took
The wild man from his friend
They struck him ill
And in fever he lay abed
He blamed the woman
For bringing him to the city
But, no, said the king,
She brought you to me
She brought you to me
Then he sat a vigil for his friend
Mourning stubbornly by him
And staying long past the end
Until rot and the worm set in
On the seventh day
He set off to find
The only man
Who'd survived the Flood
Through darkness and
Past a garden of gems
Over the sea
To an island Faraway
But immortality wasn't for him
And the king went home
With empty hands
Where now he's only clay
