Lyrics Ancient Bards

Ancient Bards

A Greater Purpose

Thick, dark voracious clouds

wolfing down the tops of the highest towers

bleed unforgiving gloom

that drips down carving stones like knives of terror

I was always so narcissistic,

superficial and arrogant,

slaying dragons to satisfy

nothing but my vanity.

All the glory and adoration

made me feel like some kind of god,

I was sure that my valiant deeds

would go down in history.

Here on my shoulders i bear the weight

of so many faultless lives,

my sword's so much heavier now

that I know they all depend on me.

Seeing things from this new perspective

all my past seems so trivial,

I was only a fatuous boy

living out his own deceit.

I am filled by this new awareness,

for my sins I will make amend,

I will cherish the wisdom born

from my strange epiphany.

Here on my shoulder I bear the weight

of so many faultless lives,

my sword's so much heavier now

that I know they all depend on me.

He is face to face with Sendor,

with his cruelest enemy,

while he's waging the battle

with the demons inside of him!

Embrace my evolution,

cause I sense I was brought to this life

for a greater purpose.

Smack down the fiend!

See the mortal dance

Left right left right up down up down

One hops forward one steps back

dodges blows bending to the side

Left right left right up down up down

One hops forward one steps back

Cold blades cut the air seeking flesh hungry for bones

Though this day of grand disillusion

might as well be my very last

I am grateful for I received

the great gift of clarity

The result of past behavior

wasn't meaningless after all

if there's anything I've ever learned

is to spear cold-bloodedly

Here on my shoulders i bear the weight

of so many faultless lives,

my sword's so much heavier now

that I know they all depend on me.

He is face to face with Sendor,

with his cruelest enemy,

while he's waging the battle

with the demons inside of him!

Embrace my evolution,

cause I sense I was brought to this life

for a greater purpose

He is face to face with Sendor,

with his cruelest enemy,

while he's waging the battle

with the demons inside of him!

Embrace my evolution,

cause I sense I was brought to this life

for a greater purpose.

Smack down the fiend!
