lyrics

A piece of scripture
A fortune teller read
Lines of literature
Written by the dead

I can’t draw a sword
I won’t saddle up no horse
The poet’s written word
Tells what I’ve lost

The weight of the world
Breaks the blind man’s back
Hunter without a candle
Walks to face the black

I have not the strength
To carry this cross
No beggar man’s wealth
Let my soul be lost

The peasant cannot be king
Not how the story goes
But I have not a choice
My fate yes this I know

Don’t you to bow to me
Or kid yourself I see
It’s fate that tortures me
No messiah soon you’ll see
