Clemency for the Wizard King - The Mountain Goats

We who train in the way of the blade

We who sleep in the accursed glade

We’ve come before you now

We’ve come before you now

We who in his favor would stand

Who lovely await his most fearsome command

We’ve come before you now

We’ve come before you now

Cut loose the handcuffs

Let him go free

We who travel by starlight

We who slipped past your guards in the night

We’ve come before you now

We’ve come before you now

We who boldly claim to our own

We who have seen the chamber of the one true son

We who have seen the kindness of the cracks of his face

We who will die if we must in this place

We’ve come before you

Outnumbered and unafraid

Well-trained in the way of the blade

Cut loose the handcuffs

Let him go free
