The Mountain Goats
Clemency for the Wizard King
[Verse 1]
We who train in the way of the blade
We who sleep in the accursed glade
We come before you now
We come before you now
[Verse 2]
We who in his favor would stand
Who lovingly await his most fearsome command
We come before you now
We come before you now
[Refrain]
Cut loose the handcuffs
Let him go free
[Verse 3]
We who travel by starlight
We who slipped past your guards in the night
We come before you now
We come before you now
[Bridge]
We who boldly lay claim to our own
We who've seen the chamber of the one true throne
[Verse 4]
We who've seen the kindness of the cracks of his face
We who will die if we must in this place
We've come before you, outnumbered and unafraid
Well-trained in the way of the blade
[Refrain]
Cut loose the handcuffs
Let him go free
Let him go free
Let him go free
Let him go free
