One For The Vine |
| Fifty thousand men were sent to do the will of one |
| His claim was phrased quite simply, though he never voiced it loud |
| I am he, the chosen one |
| In his name they could slaughter, for his name they could die |
| Though many there were believed in him, still more were sure he lied |
| But they’ll fight the battle on |
| Then one whose faith had died |
| Fled back up the mountainside |
| But before the top was made |
| A misplaced footfall made him stray |
| >From the path prepared for him |
| Off of the mountain |
| On to a wilderness of ice |
| This unexpected vision made them stand and shake with fear |
| But nothing was his fright compared with those who saw him appear |
| Terror filled their minds with awe |
| Simple were the folk who lived |
| Upon this frozen wave |
| So not surprising was their thought |
| This is he, God’s chosen one |
| Who’s come to save us from |
| All our oppressors |
| We shall be kings on this world |
| Follow me! |
| I’ll play the game you want me |
| Until I find a way back home |
| Follow me! |
| I give you strength inside you |
| Courage to win your battles-- |
| No, no, no, this can’t go on |
| This will be all that I fled from |
| Let me rest for a while |
| He walked into a valley |
| All alone |
| There he talked with water, and then with the vine |
| They leave me no choice |
| I must lead them to glory or most likely to death |
| They travelled cross the plateau of ice, up to its edge |
| Then they crossed a mountain range and saw the final plain |
| Still he urged the people on |
| Then, on a distant slope |
| He observed one without hope |
| Flee back up the mountainside |
| He thought he recognised him by his walk |
| And by the way he fell |
| And by the way he |
| Stood up, and vanished into air |
