"Clemency For The Wizard King" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS
"Clemency For The Wizard King"

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

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

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 claim to our own
We who have seen the chamber of the one true throne

We who have 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
