Black Sabbath
Ancient Warrior
[Verse 1]
There's no end, there's no beginning to the old man's story
Does he still remember me from lives gone by?
Oh, I see his spirit rising upon the back of time
I've got nowhere to hide
Will he keep a place for me?
[Chorus]
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity's wings
Oh
[Verse 2]
In his eyes, an ocean's burning
Swollen seas of tears
Troubled mind, the beating war drums in his ears
No-one ever hears his warning
Am I the one he calls?
When they tell me they're afraid, some say I'll be put away
[Chorus]
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity's wings
Oh
[Refrain]
My blood will spill my blood
Oh
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
My blood will spill my blood
[Verse 3]
In the wisdom of the prophet's never-ending tale
"Open up the eyes within your mind" he said
Crowned in his ancient glory
There's a king within us all
Some will say it's all in vain, that he doesn't have a name
[Chorus]
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity's wings
Oh
