One for the Vine

[Verse 1]

Fifty thousand men were sent

To do the will of one

His claim was phrased quite simply

Though he never voiced it loud

I am he, the chosen one

In his name they could slaughter

For his name they could die

Though many there were believed in him

Still more were sure he lied

But they'll fight the battle on

[Chorus]

Then one whose faith had died

Fled back up the mountainside

But before the top was made

A misplaced footfall made him stray

From the path prepared for him

Off of the mountain

On to a wilderness of ice

[Verse 2]

This unexpected vision

Made him stand and shake with fear

But nothing was his fright compared

With those who saw him appear

Terror filled their minds with awe

[Chorus]

Simple were the folk who lived

Upon this frozen wave

So not surprising was their thought

This is he, God's chosen one

Who's come to save us from

All our oppressors

We shall be Kings on this world

[Bridge]

Follow me!

I'll play the game you want me

Until I find a way back home

Follow me!

I give you strength inside you

Courage to win your battles

[Interlude]

No, no, no, this can't go on

This will be all that I fled from

Let me rest for a while

[Instrumental]

[Interlude]

He walked into a valley all alone

There he talked with water

And then with the vine

[Instrumental]

[Interlude]

They leave me no choice

I must lead them to glory

Or most likely to death

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

They travelled cross the plateau of ice

Up to its edge

Then they crossed a mountain range

And saw the final plain

Still, he urged the people on

[Chorus]

Then, on a distant slope

He observed one without hope

Flee back up the mountainside

He thought he recognized him by his walk

And by the way he fell

And by the way he stood up

And vanished into air

[Instrumental Outro]
