Kings of the Past

Check your watch

You're fourteen and more

Here lies a road

Not traveled before

Down in the cellar

There's beer on your breath

And up off the floor

Did you let him explore?

Oh, oh, oh

Check your map

You're Louis Riel

He rode a horse

Before you were born

Out in the flatlands

The money's all spent

And out in the field

Your fate has been sealed

Oh, oh, oh

I'm the king of the past

And still I walk forward

I won't close my eyes

To the passing of time

I'm in Fredericton Northern

Where the rivers make borders

And planes fly right over them

Check your map

'Cause you've lost your watch

It's buried under snow

Its time does not stop

Find your way homeward

As the rivers are freezing

And under the ice

The borders are changing

Oh, oh, oh

I'm the king of the past

And still I walk forward

I step over hundreds of years

Yet to come

While the ice in the back of my

Head draw no borders

As rivers that channel the rain

Chase them away

Chase them away

Chase them away

Chase them away
