The heretic warns the king of the outlaw's plans, knowing that they can only succeed if they work together. But the king has plans of his own...
lyrics
My king, I'm glad I found you here
The outlaw lives and may be drawing near
Yes, I know the truth but greater tasks are at hand
The outlaw doesn't comprehend
His mind is filled with thoughts of his revenge
He says he plans to spill your blood but he must understand
That if he is to succeed it would spell our demise
(He will not succeed)
The fates have spoken, we must band together to survive
(If his eyes are closed, I still will make him see)
Let him come
Let him fight
I am ready for your challenge, outlaw
Draw your blades, and then you'll see
The punishment for treachery
Let him come
Let him fight
If his business isn't done, neither is mine
Let him come
Let him fight
I don't run from criminals and I don't flee from any mortal man
I don't see a reason why I shouldn't let him try his hand
My blade has beaten him before and this time I won't hide my strength
Let him once again taste my blade let him feel the blaze once again
My liege we must leave these petty fights behind
(We don't need his kind)
If we don't unite here then you will watch your kingdom die
(If death is his wish, I will grant him his demise)
Let him come
Let him fight
I am ready for your challenge, outlaw
Draw your blades, and then you'll see
The punishment for treachery
Let him come
Let him fight
If his blades are restless then so shall be mine
Let him come
Let him fight
All our lives leading up to this
We were spared, this is no coincidence
Destiny commands us to unite
We meet at dawn.
I sense him approaching
The inferno begs to be released
I will not stand for this insolence
The heretic knows not what he suggests
This ends tonight.
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
