The Man Who Would Be King - 2015 Remaster

As he travels on the beast of burden
 Moving up along the mountainside
 As he gazes looking down the valley
 No regrets but his pride
 As he journeys across mountain passes
 Insignificance sweeps over him
 His reflection of the beauty round him
 Feeling empty inside
 He is running from his wildest thoughts
 He is running from his everything
 He is looking now to find something
 Hoping he could be saved
 ♪
 He's searching for the answer now
 It's something that he's managed to avoid up 'til now
 Real conviction that he craves
 He needs to find the answer sooner than later
 ♪
 Pushed himself to the limits
 He had to strive for all the harder things in life
 But what the cost of giving now
 His life, his time are the only things that he has
 Life is not a rehearsal
 All he has is the one chance to get it right
 Leaving really is the only way to know
 Maybe one day they'll forgive him what he's done
 But now the pain of lying too early in the grave
 Destiny no good to hide away
 Penance now will be his only way
 Understand no good to run away
 Penance now will be his saving grace
 ♪
 He tries to make his peace with God
 All is forgivable but it's left a little late
 Trying something that he's not
 Is it possible to change such a lot?
 ♪
 He's taken someone's life away
 There's not a day goes by he regrets what he's done
 He should have found another way
 But the good book says, "An eye for an eye"
 In reflecting on decisions that were made
 On the judgements that will haunt him 'til his grave
 No one has the right to take another life
 But in his mind he had no choice, so be it
 Destiny no good to hide away
 Penance now will be his only way
 Understand no good to run away
 Penance will be his saving grace
 Destiny no good to hide away
 Penance now will be his only way
 Understand no good to run away
 Penance now will be his saving grace
