Tony Iommi - Ancient Warrior lyrics

[Verse 1] There's no end, there's no beginning to the old man's story Does he still remember me from lives gone by? I see his spirit rising upon the black of time I've got nowhere to hide Will he keep a place for me? [Chorus] He is the king of all kings The keeper of light He holds eternity's wings [Verse 2] In his eyes, an ocean's burning Swollen sweat 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 [Chorus] My blood will spill my blood My blood will spill my blood [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus]
