about

words and music by Eric Gant and Timothy H. Patton

lyrics

He was bred for a kingdom and raised on the land.
Imagination was a tool in his hand.
He studied magics and the secrets unknown
To understand a bird he said to have flown.
He had no blood but brothers, sisters, and love.
He had powers from the Earth and some from above.
Brought folks together when their spirits were low,
He was the center of it all but he was all alone.

Chorus:
He pulled his sword from the solid stone.
He held people together like flesh to bone.
He told them something they should already know.
He said “the people and the land,
The people and the land,
The people and the land are one.”

He was noble in blood but raised a common man,
And he never took it lightly, fates were in his hands.
He stayed true to his roots when he received his crown,
And he never wore it vainly though he grew in renown,
And when the people all amended that they needed a king,
The seers cried and the minstrels would sing.
A man’s anointed for this moment in time,
And when he’s gone he’ll feed from everyone’s mind.

Chorus

He was a king who kept the faith of the folk.
He held them cradled in the warmth of his cloak.
Held back the raiders from the north and the coast,
His quiet might could best his enemies’ boast.
He loved a woman, but she loved his friend.
The only troth they kept was the love of the land.
He lost his life and heart but he followed through,
A fate that only shattered heroes can do.

Chorus
