Warrior's Dream (Almighty)

I dream of a way to return to my life
And my wife and my kids and my home
I've seen the rise and the fall of empires
I've seen come and I've seen them go
When it's time, then it's time
And the time has come for us to rebuild these broken stones
I know that whatever's meant to be is meant to be
They can't steal my hope, I know what I know

I woke up from a dream in a sweat
From the soft sand of the shore to a hard floor of cement
Felt a wave deep in me like a wail of lament
Hand-cuffs cut my skin by my own consent
My mouth once filled with laughter
Now my joy's become dread
I've refused to rise up since the blows to my head
Surrounded by the sounds and smiles of the dead
How could gardens become graveyards with such speed?
Been waiting for forever for the return of the King (King)

Checking my thoughts nothing but discord there
I've got to break free from the torment and fear
And remember who's here
They once called me a name, but I've forgotten the way, the
What was The Way? The Warrior's Way?
C'mon, tell me, what would a warrior say?

Something like go onward, reconnect the light and the power
And stay strong, son
But how is that possible when we've been ambushed and betrayed?
When everywhere that we go we're mocked and belayed
I've been told that I'm washed up
And I've been told I'm insane
So what's the point of getting back to the Warrior's Way?
When the land is all jacked and the promises are delayed
You expect me to keep on watching while the world is remade
In images of darkness, corruption and pain

I'm gonna stay right here, wait where I remain
For the warriors' of this kingdom to come and take me away
And if they knock on my door and they got something to say
I'll open up and if given a choice to fight or escape
I'll pull my sword from its stone and tell them
I guess today's the day
Let's ride as an army and end the Obsidian Shade
