Ancient warrior

There´s no end - there´s no beginning -
To the old man´s story
Does he still remember me -
From lives gone by
Oh I see his spirit rising
Upon the back of time
I´ve got nowhere to hide
Will he keep a place for me
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity´s wings
In his eyes an ocean´s burning
Swollen seat of tears
Troubled mind the beating
War drums in his ears
No one ever hears his warning
Am I the one he calls
When they tell me they´re afraid
Some say I´ll be put away
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity´s wings
My blood will spill my blood
My blood will spill my blood
In the wisdom of the prophet´s
Never ending tale
Open up the eyes
Within your mind, he says
Crowned in his ancient glory
There´s a king within us all
Some will say it´s all in vain
That he doesn´t have a name
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity´s wings
To the old man´s story
Does he still remember me -
From lives gone by
Oh I see his spirit rising
Upon the back of time
I´ve got nowhere to hide
Will he keep a place for me
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity´s wings
In his eyes an ocean´s burning
Swollen seat of tears
Troubled mind the beating
War drums in his ears
No one ever hears his warning
Am I the one he calls
When they tell me they´re afraid
Some say I´ll be put away
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity´s wings
My blood will spill my blood
My blood will spill my blood
In the wisdom of the prophet´s
Never ending tale
Open up the eyes
Within your mind, he says
Crowned in his ancient glory
There´s a king within us all
Some will say it´s all in vain
That he doesn´t have a name
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity´s wings
