As he travels on the beast of burden
|
Moving up along the mountainside
|
As he gazes looking down the valley
|
No regrets but his pride
|
|
As he journeys across mountain passes
|
Insignificance sweeps over him
|
His reflections of the beauty round him
|
Feeling empty inside
|
|
He is running from his wildest thoughts
|
He is running from his everything
|
He is looking now to find something
|
Hoping he can be saved
|
|
He's searching for the answer now
|
It's somehing that he's managed to avoid up 'til now
|
Real conviction that he craves
|
He needs to find the answer sooner than later
|
|
Pushed himself to the limits
|
He had to stive for all the harder things in life
|
But what the cost of giving now
|
His life is, his time are the only things that he has
|
|
Life is not a rehearsal
|
All he has is the one chance
|
To get it right
|
Leaving really is the only way to know
|
|
Maybe one day they'll forgive him what he's done
|
But now the pain of lying too early in the grave
|
|
Destiny, no good to hide away
|
Penance now will be his only way
|
Understand, no good to run away
|
Penance now will be his saving grace
|
|
He tries to make his peace with God
|
All is forgivable but it's left a little late
|
Try something that he's not
|
Is it possible to change such a lot
|
|
He's taken someone's life away
|
There's not a day goes by
|
He regrets what he's done
|
He should have found another way
|
But the Good Book says
|
An eye for an eye
|
|
In reflection on decisions that were made
|
On the judgement that will haunt him 'til his grave
|
Noone has the right to take another life
|
But in his mind he had no choice
|
So it be
|
|
Destiny, no good to hide away
|
Penance now will be his only way
|
Understand, no good to run away
|
Penance now will be his saving grace
|
|
Far, far away, the man who would be king
|
So far away, the man who would be king
