lyrics

Find me an arrow
Put a target in its way
Right into the marrow
One more fallen in the fray

Then on the other hand
When you turn your cheek
It proves the strength of a man
Not show that you are weak

Can you take me to the promised land?
Will you heal the great divide?
Can we beat the falling grains of sand?
Will we see the other side?

Barely a soldier
And hardly a king
Theres no remembrance
Our pain or suffering

Whats in the other hand?
The one behind your back…
It’s just a sign that reads “raving megalomaniac”

Can you take me to the promised land?
Will you heal the great divide?
Can we beat the falling grains of sand?
Do you take the other side?

I am never to be found
Ever fighting for my crown
Seven stars shall align
Fire seals my crime

solo

Can you take me to the promised land?
Will you heal the great divide?
Can we beat the falling grains of sand?
Are you on the other side

I am never to be found
Ever fighting for my crown
Seven stars shall align
Fire seals my crime
