Old Mans Child

The Crimson Meadows

Old Mans Child


In the mist of the morning light's shadows 
triumphant, he stands battered and proud 
in the dark of the morning light's shades 
the meadow is red, and the fallen lies dead 
tales of a menace, abandoned by god 
fierce is the wrath, and this is his land 
onto the gateways, kill and disarm 
this is his nation, surrender and die 
born on the fields, far and beyond 
raised by the ruler, like father, like son 
his talents unfold, the future is war 
wherever he rides, nothing will grow 
tribal reunion - ready for wars 
destroying the earth as they move on 
masses are fleeing, ready to die 
again they will conquer, conquer them all 
all ground pulsates, as the horsemen attack 
nothing remains, infernal is their path 
onward to glory, forever he rides 
the king o f the masses, forever in pride 
time has moved on, and the legacy is faint 
but words from a past are written in blood 
those who remember carry his words 
his blood they will bring, and this earth they will flood
