Jacobs Dream - Keeper Of The Crown lyrics

rate me

tone and mortar

Mixed with blood

Keep an ancient tale

Of the tower

And the secret

Of a mother's prayer

For the throne

Men once fought

For the right divine

In days of old

When blood was spilled

To seize the kingdom

The victor to the throne

The vanquished to the tower

One to lose his head

And one to wear the crown

Once a king notorious

Regarded man not God

Cruel and wicked in his ways

The sword his only love

Spilling blood

And spilling tears

Till all despised his name

Paving foreign lands

With tombs

Of his bravest men

Grieving wives and mothers cried

May heaven intercede

Stop the senseless sacrifice

Of their children

In the guise of glory

The nobles waged a war

They feigned to sail against a rival

On another shore

Once beyond the sight of land

The king would meet his fate

When conquered by the kingdom of

The master of the depths

In the shadow

Of the castle

Silence seized the land

On bended knee

One and all

Revered the judgement

Surely providence divine

Has revealed his hand

May his mercy ever reign

Over the hearts of man

Holy be the throne

The glory and the power

Our sovereign regale

The keeper of the crown

The victor to the throne

Till the final hour

In heaven and on earth below

Let thy will be done

Thy will be done

From the rising unto

The setting of the sun

Thy kingdom come

To God be the glory

Forever and evermore
