Lyrics
Soldiers and Kings
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I’ve walked my way since the morning of time
A seer, a devil some call me
Wild man of the wood
A council to rulers of men
But the days of my kind are numbered they say
One God comes to drive out the many
With crosses and swords
They hack up the roots of the old ways
Over, over and over
Mankind’s future has sailed
Each new search for the Grail
Ends in murder
Soldiers and Kings
Warring forever like soulless machines
Scorching the Earth, building their empires
To glory and greed
How many times have I pleaded with you?
To open your hearts to the Mystery
Just to swing from a rope or burn on a fiery stake
So, look not to me for the finding of hope
There’s no re-arranging your nature
All that’s sacred betrayed
For the coin of the day, who could save you?
As I look through the veil
At your cursed bloody trail
It’s all burning
Soldiers and Kings
Warring forever like soulless machines
Scorching the Earth, building their empires
To glory and greed
Over, over and over
One more look to the veil
One more murder
Soldiers and Kings
Warring forever like soulless machines
Scorching the Earth, building their empires
To glory and greed
