leslie fish - the challenger lyrics

[intro]
when i was a child i dreamed, but they weren’t dreams at all+
of far off lands, of far+off times, watching kingdoms rise and fall
other bodies and names i had, but always the same work to do;
always artisan, warrior, witch, i never thought the dreams were true

[verse 1]
slowly through the years i learned, hands that ached to hold a pen
a rebel soul+ no orders held, and vision into minds of men
at last i read in an ancient book, and saw what i had always known
then i had known that the dreams were true, the tale it told was oncе my own
[verse 2]
why do i come circling back? slowly did the memoriеs clear
of ancient wars, of friends and foes, but never of my purpose here
still i sharpened my three+fold sk!lls for use in some unknown game
only knowing that age upon age, my enemy was still the same

[verse 3]
patterns that repeat i see, faster through the world they skew
the stars come right, the fates take flight, and all of the myths and dreams come true!
whatever battle the gods prepare, for artistry, for weapons, or for mind
there i haste, for the answer waits: the purpose i was born to find

[verse 4]
then i saw the armies march, saw him raise his power high
he preached: “obey!” he practiced: “rule!” and fattened on the ancient lie
his wheedling words, his mystic might, his ultimately iron hand
this promised h+ll+ i know them well. finally, i understand

[outro]
master of the secret dark, are you so surprised to see
the ancient foe you should well know, come to spoil your victory?
is your memory worst than mine? or wouldn’t you believe that it was true?
but i have hunted the ages down, fated to come after you!
