[Verse 1]
As a child I played a king
Idolized the ponies
Underneath the saddle sling
Of soldiers warring the country into naught

Took a branch and bent a bow
Found the greenest sapling
Carved an arrow for a crow
And foraged into the forest without fear

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Spied a bird with fragile wings
Cut her peaceful ballad
Nevermore the sparrow sings
Tell me why does the warring live so long
Warring live so long

Threw a shout to set her free
Tried to bend the arrow
Back into a growing tree
Return the bow to a sprite in need of string

Cried and tried to make her breathe
Begged the sky to birth one
Thousand birds in every tree
So I could let mother fauna reign on me
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
How to be a harmless man?
I only wish to understand
The power in my hands
But, time will show that'll harm and harm again

Took apprentice as a saint
Even angels wish to pluck their wings and make mistakes
That help the apples get sweeter every year
Sweeter every year
