The Gift Of Music



Lyrics

Far in the distant future
Beyond the pages of our time
Cold blooded wicked tyrants
Threaten the freedom of mankind

Corruption, lust, and greed, define the new nobility
Changing the course of history
Across the vast North Empire
Most people struggle to survive

Living a meek existence
While their secluded leader thrives
We are living day to day
Forced to bear the lion's share

People just don't have the time for music any more
And no one seems to care
My friends have seen the chosen one
Our quest for freedom has begun

He will be the answer to our prayers
There walks a god among us
Who's seen the writing on the wall
He is the revolution

He'll be the one to save us all
My brother Gabriel, is all the hope we need
Shining like a beacon in the night
Sheperd of Ravenskill, a reason to believe

Music is the gift he brings
The songbird stops to listen when he sings
