Jacob's Dream - Keeper Of The Crown lyrics

Stone and mortar Mixed with blood Keep an ancient tale Of the tower And the secret Of a mother's prayer For the throne Men once fought For the right divine In days of old When blood was spilled To seize the kingdom The victor to the throne The vanquished to the tower One to lose his head And one to wear the crown Once a king notorious Regarded man not God Cruel and wicked in his ways The sword his only love Spilling blood And spilling tears Till all despised his name Paving foreign lands With tombs Of his bravest men Grieving wives and mothers cried May heaven intercede Stop the senseless sacrifice Of their children In the guise of glory The nobles waged a war They feigned to sail against a rival On another shore Once beyond the sight of land The king would meet his fate When conquered by the kingdom of The master of the depths In the shadow Of the castle Silence seized the land On bended knee One and all Revered the judgement Surely providence divine Has revealed his hand May his mercy ever reign Over the hearts of man Holy be the throne The glory and the power Our sovereign regale The keeper of the crown The victor to the throne Till the final hour In heaven and on earth below Let thy will be done Thy will be done From the rising unto The setting of the sun Thy kingdom come To God be the glory Forever and evermore
