[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
And onto a wilderness of ice

[Verse 2]
This unexpected vision
It 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
Oh, we shall be Kings on this world

[Bridge]
Follow me!
Well I'll play the game you want me
Until I find a way back home, home
Follow me!
Well I give you strength beside you
Courage to win your battles
No, no, no, this can't go on
This will be all that I fled from
Well let me rest for a while, oh
He walked into a valley all alone
There he talked with water
And then with the vine

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
They leave me no choice
I must lead them to glory
Or most likely to death

[Verse 3]
They travelled cross the plateau of ice
Up to its edge
And then they crossed a mountain range
And saw the final plain
Still, he urged his people on

[Chorus]
Then, on a distant slope
Well, 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]
