Ghost of a King

Lyrics

Met a ghost of a king on the road
 When I first felt fire burnin'
 To my knees to my knees I fell
 Met a ghost of a king on the road
 Words of fire
 He said, "You are a lonely soul
 With a heart of stone
 That rakes against your thirsty bones
 Such a lonely soul"
 Said, "I can show you what can save you
 But we need to go"
 Where no chariot can take you
 Where the river meets the sand
 There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones
 And make you well, make you well
 ♪
 So I followed the ghost of a king
 With every step I tried to see beyond
 For a trace of the riverside
 But restlessness was my prize
 And then we came upon a golden shore
 But the voice of fire wasn't coming from a ghost no more
 My heart of stone came alive
 When my eyes were opened up
 And I saw that I had come
 Where no chariot can take you
 Where the river meets the sand
 There is water there
 That can quench your thirsty bones
 And make you well, make you well
 So I knelt beside the river
 And I drank until, I drank until, I drank until I died
 But something in the water
 Must have brought me back, it brought me back
 It brought me back to life
 Where no chariot can take you
 Where the river meets the sand
 There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones
 And make you well
 Where no chariot can take you
 Where the river meets the sand
 There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones
 And make you well, make you well
