Lyrics Black Sabbath – Ancient Warrior
Text:
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
Upon the back of time
I’ve got nowhere to hide
Will he keep a place for me
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity’s wings
In his eyes an ocean’s burning
Swollen seat 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
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity’s wings
My blood will spill my blood
My blood will spill my blood
In the wisdom of the prophet’s
Never ending tale
Open up the eyes
Within your mind, he says
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
That he doesn’t have a name
He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity’s wings
