As he travels on the beast of burden,
Moving up along the mountainside,
As he gazes looking down the valley,
No regrets but his pride,
As he journeys across mountain passes,
And significant sweeps over him,
His reflection of the beauty around him,
Feeling empty inside,
He is running from his wildest thoughts,
He is running from his everything,
He is looking now to find something,
Hoping he can be saved,
He's searching for the answer now,
It's something that he's managed to avoid up 'till now,
Real conviction that he craves,
He needs to find the answer sooner or later,
Pushed himself to the limits,
He had to strive for all the harder things in life,
But what the cost to giving now,
His life his, time are the only things that he has,
Life is not a rehearsal,
All he has is the one chance to get it right,
Living really is the only way to know,
Maybe one day they'll forgive him what he's done,
But now the pain of lying too early in the grave,
Destiny no good to hide away,
Penance now will be his only way,
Understand,no good to run away,
Penance now, we'll be his saving grace,
He tries to make his peace with God,
All is forgivable but he's left a little late,
Trying something that he's not,
Is impossible to change such a lot,
He's taken someone's life away,
There's not a day that goes by, he regrets what he's done,
He should have found another way,
But the good book says an eye for an eye,
In reflecting on decisions that were made,
On the judgements that will haunt him 'till his grave,
No one has the right to take another life,
But in his mind he had no choice, so be it,
Destiny, no good to hide away,
Penance now, will be his only way,
Understand,no good to run away,
Penance now, we'll be his saving grace,
Destiny, no good to hide away,
Penance now, will be his only way,
Understand,no good to run away,
Penance now, we'll be his saving grace,
Far , far away,
The man who would be king,
Far, far away,
The man who would be king,
So far way,
The man who would be king,
So far way,
The man who would be king
Far , far away,
The man who would be king
