Iron Maiden - The Man Who Would Be King

Iron Maiden

The Man Who Would Be King

As he travels on the beast of Burden
Moving up along the mountain side
As he gazes looking down the valley
No regrets but his pride

As he journeys across mountain passes
And significant sweeps overhand
His reflection of the beauty around 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
Is something that he's managed to avoid up until now
Looking for the conviction that he craves
He needs to find the answer sooner or later

Pushed himself to the limits
He had to strife for all the harder things in life
But what the cost to give him now
His life and time is the only things that he has

Life is is not a rehearsal, only has this the one chance to get it right
Living really is only way to know
Maybe one day they'll forgive him what he's done
with all the pain of lying too early in the grave

Destiny, no good to hide away
Hear us now, we'll be his only way
Understand, no good to run away
Hear us now, we'll be his saving grace

(solo)

Just to make his peace with God
All is forgivable but he's left a little late
Trying something that he's not
Is impossible to change such a lot

He's taken someone's life away
There's not a day that 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 'till 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
Hear us now, we'll be his only way
understand , no good to run away
Hear us now, we'll be his saving grace
Destiny, no good to hide away
Hear us now, we'll be his only way
understand, no place to run away
Hear us now, we'll be his saving grace

Far, far away
The man who would be king
Far, far away
The man who would be king
So far away
The man who would be king
So far away
The man who would be king
Far, far away
The man who would be king

Mirror lyrics:

The man who would be king
Far, far away
The man who would be king
So far away
The man who would be king
So far away
The man who would be king
Far, far away
The man who would be king
Far, far away

Hear us now, we'll be his saving grace
understand, no place to run away
Hear us now, we'll be his only way
Destiny, no good to hide away
Hear us now, we'll be his saving grace
understand , no good to run away
Hear us now, we'll be his only way
Destiny, no good to hide away

But in his mind he had no choice so be it
No-one has the right to take another life
On the judgements that will haunt him 'till his grave
In reflecting on decisions that were made

But the good book says an eye for an eye
He should have found another way
There's not a day that goes by he regrets what he's done
He's taken someone's life away

Is impossible to change such a lot
Trying something that he's not
All is forgivable but he's left a little late
Just to make his peace with God

(solo)

Hear us now, we'll be his saving grace
Understand, no good to run away
Hear us now, we'll be his only way
Destiny, no good to hide away

with all the pain of lying too early in the grave
Maybe one day they'll forgive him what he's done
Living really is only way to know
Life is is not a rehearsal, only has this the one chance to get it right

His life and time is the only things that he has
But what the cost to give him now
He had to strife for all the harder things in life
Pushed himself to the limits

He needs to find the answer sooner or later
Looking for the conviction that he craves
Is something that he's managed to avoid up until now
He's searching for the answer now

Hoping he could be saved
He is looking now to find something
He is running from his everything
He is running from his wildest thoughts

Feeling empty inside
His reflection of the beauty around him
And significant sweeps overhand
As he journeys across mountain passes

No regrets but his pride
As he gazes looking down the valley
Moving up along the mountain side
As he travels on the beast of Burden
