BLACK SABBATH - ANCIENT WARRIOR lyrics

rate me

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
