| All the old kings sold their crowns downtown
|
| Left a child to guard their fortunes
|
| While the Young Lions were on the prowl
|
| He said, «the watch is asleep in the tower!
|
| The back door’s open wide
|
| There’s a fox making wine in the vineyard
|
| I’ll be ready when it comes my time.»
|
| A child stands in the throne room
|
| Eyes so wide but unafraid
|
| The One King’s never known you
|
| (and He knows how kings are made)
|
| The battle raged as the child so bravely struck down them devils
|
| One by one
|
| The old kings returned to find the doors were locked, the vineyard red
|
| And the battle won
|
| He said, «I cast down the watch from the tower
|
| The door’s locked from inside
|
| I make blood wine down in the vineyard
|
| ‘Cause I was ready when it came my time.»
|
| The old kings ask me, «Norman! |
| Haven’t you ever sinned?»
|
| -Oh, I haven’t sinned in years!
|
| But you’re out there and I’m in here!
|
| And if I find you asleep in the tower
|
| If the back door’s open wide
|
| I’ll be makin’blood wine in the vineyard
|
| I’ll be ready -I got nothin’but time! |
