Breakfast on the Border

I'm a hero and a monster
A serpent and a Lord
On either quest I foster
The need I have to roar
And so now I am a sovereign
Country's population: 1
Making breakfast on the border
Eating? I'm the only one

Every young one hates a copper
Til his wallet's getting stole
Every old one hates a thiever
Til there's no food in the bowl
And so which one should we exile?
Which one is right the most?
And the answer only silence
Cuz in truth we need them both

So I'll have breakfast on the border
And dinner's at yours
But if you ask me when I'll get there
I couldn't be sure
Don't ask me how I'm dressed there
It won't bring you joy
If any difference you've detected
I'm still the same

I'm a savior and a tyrant
Sometimes on the same day
When it's time to call the banners
I forget which flag to raise
And there's really not a border
There's no wall to hold them in
Only thing that keeps this order
Is that people won't cross it

So I'll have breakfast on the border
And dinner's at yours
And I'll stay until the morning
When I leave I'll lock your door
I can't stay here in the southland
Nor in the north
The longer than I stay here
The harder it is to go back over

So I'll have breakfast on the border
And dinner's at yours
But if you ask me when I'll get there
I couldn't be sure
Don't ask me how I'm dressed there
It won't bring you joy
If any difference you've detected
I'm still the same
I'm still your boy
