The Outlaw wakes up from his long slumber. What has become of the world while he's been asleep?
lyrics
Had the craziest dream, I was there with the king in a cave
The ruins collapsing my freedom a short climb away
The stone of the sky, yes he held it up high
And betrayed me to an early grave
I then heard a whisper, my son it is not yet your time
And then came a shock and I rose with a gasp and a cry
And now I've awoken, the king is dethroned
what a tragedy, my destiny is clear
I'm starting to think that this wasn't a dream
Say your prayers, my liege, your downfall is near
What happened, is it already too late?
That fool, he called them, and now he's lost us
everything, he has to pay
lies
such a clever disguise
children cover your eyes
or bear witness to an execution
The royal decree, all you heretics are cast out and shamed
The reddest of herrings, your highness, and very well played
How could I have known when you sought out the stone
That you held the pow'r to call them back home
But now that you woke them and could not control them
They've come to take back what they own
I only hope those bastards left you alive
Your greed has cost you, and now you've cost us
Everything, prepare to die
lies
such a clever disguise
children cover your eyes
or bear witness to an execution
I thought I could find my way back
I thought I could find my way back home
Your highness
Forgive me for my treason
But I'm sure you know
I'm sure you know I've got my reasons
Seven years is a long, long time to sleep
But my eyes are open now
My eyes are open
It's haunting, dark, moody prog rock that alternately makes you want to plan the demise of the human race, bust out the whiskey and party, and go kick someone's ass. Also Mystakin is a great guitarist Single White Infidel
