Listen to the prophet
Listen to his word
I hope I will be waking up
To rule across this earth
I will live in danger
I will live in woe
But I won't see Montgomery
Break his lance and score
So take me to the chapel
Take me to the church
'Cause I, I don't wanna die
I'm a chosen man
Come to make my stand
In a time of love and war
I'm a chosen man
Won't you understand?
I can't take it anymore
It's not my decision
It's not my pride
And you wanna tell me that I'm through
When I look in the mirror
My reflection I see
But I can't live the way that I should live
I will give you the keys to the kingdom
Tear down these city walls
As I enter the battle with wisdom
I don't fear nothing at all
Do you wanna be there when it's over?
Do you wanna be there when it's done?
On the third day you will discover
That my life was overcome
Oh yeah, yeah
'Cause I'm a chosen man
You know I tried to help you
But you just pushed me away, yeah
I know you're gonna tell me
(I'm a chosen man)
And that's all you can say (Yes I am)
Well, I can hear you cry
Broken, bleeding, and dying (Chosen man)
Now it's no use to pray
It's not my decision (No)
Surely my pride (Baby, it's your pride)
And you wanna tell me that I'm through (Yeah, you're through)
When I look in the mirror
My reflection I see
But I can't live the way that I should live
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Why didn't you listen?
Why didn't you learn?
Had to push it so damn far
To the point of no return
I've always had the feeling
You knew your time would come
Somehow I understand
A king should never play
I will give you the keys to the kingdom
Tear down these city walls
As I enter the battle with wisdom
I don't fear nothing at all
Do you wanna be there when it's over?
Do you wanna be there when it's done?
On the third day I will discover
That my life was overcome
I will give you the keys to the kingdom
I'll tear down these city walls
As I enter the battle with wisdom
I don't fear nothing at all
Do you wanna be there when it's over?
Do you wanna be there when it's done?
On the third day I will discover
That my life was overcome
'Cause I, I, I'm a chosen man
