Soldiers and Kings

I've walked my way since the morning of time A seer, a devil some call me Wild man of the wood A council to rulers of men But the days of my kind are numbered, they say One God comes to drive out the many With crosses and swords They hack up the roots of the old ways Over, over and over Mankind's future has sailed Each new search for the Grail Ends in murder Soldiers and kings (hey!) Warring forever like soulless machines (hey! Hey! Hey!) Scorching the earth (hey!) Building their empires to glory and greed How many times have I pleaded with you? To open your hearts to the mystery Just to swing from a rope or burn on a fiery stake So, look not to me for the finding of hope There's no re-arranging your nature All that's sacred betrayed For the coin of the day, who will save you? Over, over and over As I look through the veil At your cursed bloody trail It's all burning Soldiers and kings (hey!) Warring forever like soulless machines (hey! Hey! Hey!) Scorching the earth (hey!) Building their empires to glory and greed Over, over and over One more look to the veil One more murder Soldiers and kings (hey!) Warring forever like soulless machines (hey! Hey! Hey!) Scorching the earth (hey!) Building their empires to glory and greed Soldiers and kings (hey!) Warring forever like soulless machines (hey! Hey! Hey!) Scorching the earth (hey!) Building their empires to glory and greed (Hey! Hey! Hey!) (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
