Poet, priest, and visionary rallied to the call

The will of humankind defied them all

Only to perpetuate duress

Every king's assassin waiting silently at bay

Counting down until his holy day
A#m D# F# A#m
Artifacts of ancient wisdom buried in the sand

Hastily upturned to clear the land
[Chorus]

Now I ain't going to claim to be the second son

I love my follow man

Neglected and denied by us again
[Chorus]

I love my follow man
F#
And I love what he could be
A#m D# A#m F# A#m
But it goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on
