King After King - Avatar

The last spoken will of a warrior King:

«Bury me next to my soldiers

Set my horse free and let people sing

Of their son with the world on his shoulders

Then look to the mountains

I left my grave wide open.»

Eyes fixed on the mountains

«I was buried at dusk, at dawn I return.»

Here it comes

Death undone

King after King

From this tomb we shall build you a throne

In your name we shall sing

Light your torch, let the flames lead you home

Long live the King!

The heart of a King can be measured in dreams

Reaching the sleep of his people

A whisper of ghosts saying we’ll be redeemed

From our sins he will build us a castle

One day we’ll be stronger

We will ride right beside you

Until we are stronger

We put stone upon stone, await your return

From this tomb we shall build you a throne

In your name we shall sing

Light your torch, let the flames lead you home

Long live the King!

The longing for sun and a heartache undone

Breaking the back of false idols

Bring our King home, for among us are none

Who is worthy to be his disciple

Out there in the wasteland

There’s something coming for us

A call from the wasteland:

He was buried at dusk, at dawn he returns

Here it comes

Death undone

King after King

From this tomb we shall build you a throne

In your name we shall sing

Light your torch, let the flames lead you home

Long live the King!
