King For A Day

Gary Hughes


True Gods, they sleep 
Locked in their mountain of dreams 
They wait for the call: for the hunger 
They must be freed. 
Drive out the Christian seed 
Lay waste; bring the storm and the thunder 

There must be change 
Or this land will crumble and decay 
I must redeem them; somehow I 
must free them, 
Return waht was lost once again 

If I was King for a day 
This land would burn in the mystical flames 
Born through the fire 
The Old Gods would reign 
If I was King for a day 

These words I speak 
Let loose the dragon I seek 
His breath will transform through the madness 
Immersed, so deep, 
Secrets the centuries keep 
In death are restored in the vastness 

Until that day 
We must take their sanctuary away 
Cast out the pieces, the Christian weakness 
And build on the pyre that remains 

If I was King for a day 
This land would burn in the mystical flames 
Born through the fire 
The Old Gods would reign 
If I was King for a day
