Black Sabbath

Ancient Warrior

There's no end - there's no beginning - to the old man's story
Does he still remember me - from lives gone by?
Oh I see his spirit rising upon the back of time
I've got nowhere to hide
Will he keep a place from me?

He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity's wings, oh

In his eyes an ocean's burning
Swollen seas of tears
Troubled mind the beating war drums in his ears
No one ever hears his warning
Am I the one he calls?
When they tell me they're afraid
Some say I'll be put away

He is the king of all kings
The keeper of light
He holds eternity's wings, oh
My blood will spill my blood
Oh-oh

My blood will spill my blood ha

In the wisdom of the prophet's never ending tale
"Open up the eyes within your mind," he said
Crowned in his ancient glory
