Soldiers and Kings

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
