As he travels on the beast of Burden

 Moving up along the mountain side

 As he gazes looking down the valley

 No regrets but his pride



 As he journeys across mountain passes

 And significant sweeps overhand

 His reflection of the beauty around him

 Feeling empty inside



 He is running from his wildest thoughts

 He is running from his everything

 He is looking now to find something

 Hoping he could be saved



 He's searching for the answer now

 Is something that he's managed to avoid up 'till now

 Looking for the conviction that he craves

 He needs to find the answer sooner or later



 Pushed himself to the limits

 He had to strife for all the harder things in life

 But what the cost to give him now

 His life and time are the only things that he has



 Life is is not a rehearsal, only has this the one chance to get it right

 Living really is only way to know

 Maybe one day they ll forgive him what he's done

 with all the pain of lying too early in the grave



 Destiny, no good to hide away

 Penance now will be his only way

 Understand, no good to run away

 Penance now will be his saving grace



 Just to make his peace with God

 All is forgivable but he's left a little late

 Trying something that he's not

 Is impossible to change such a lot



 He's taken someone s life away

 There s not a day that goes by he regrets what he's done

 He should have found another way

 From the good book says an eye for an eye



 In reflecting on decisions that were made

 On the judgements that will haunt him till his grave

 No-one has the right to take another life

 But in his mind he had no choice so be it



 Destiny, no good to hide away

 Penance now will be his only way

 Understand, no good to run away

 Penance now will be his saving grace



 Destiny, no good to hide away

 Hear us now, we ll be his only way

 understand , no good to run away

 Hear us now, we ll be his saving grace



 Far, far away

 The man who would be king

 Far, far away

 The man who would be king
