Judul: Emperor Awaits
Album: Descendant XII (2012)
Lirik:
The road was rocky
And sometimes cut their feet
The sun exhaled
A wave of scorching heat
The other roads were level
With shade so cool and sweet
That even hearts of runners
Relaxed and slowed their beat
The guide sped far ahead
Devouring horizons
Trailing flying dust
And shunning shaded paths
Although it had no shelter
The dusty path was straightest
Eyes stabbed by racing dust
But they chased the guide relentless
He had the only map
And led them by example
They raced to meet their emperor
In time to be rewarded
Blazing torch arching higher
Burning feet begin to tire
Shining road gives birth
To busy tangled delta
Cunning tempting whispers
Shady branches beckon
But knowing guide continues
On glowing sunny a venue
Eyes stare through tears
Mirage of way appears
To cut the journey short
Through shady secret passages
Foolish few begin to stray
Hoping for a quicker way
Others stop to laze
In roads of shadowed maze
[riffing]
Another dreams of miracles
And halts in sudden thought
Inventing brand new vehicles
To cut the distance short
The shrewedest ones continue
Pursuing distant feet
Of marching lonely guide
On the single sunny street
Some of those who strayed
Completely lost their way
In web of dizzy labyrinth
Of dark narrow alleyways
Others found their routes
Only ended dead
Eventually retreating
To chase the guide again
Budding keen inventors
Lagging far behind
Only adding distance
No matter what they tried
[solo]
The road was rocky
And sometimes cut their feet
The sun exhaled
A wave of scorching heat
The other roads were level
With shade so cool and sweet
That even hearts of runners
Relaxed and slowed their beat
[solo]
The guide sped far ahead
Devouring horizons
Trailing flying dust
And shunning shaded paths
Although it had no shelter
The dusty path was straightest
Eyes stabbed by racing dust
But they chased the guide relentless
