Songs of Hope - The King Came Down

Sweet children here is a story

Of the times that have long passed by

So you learn about our glory

And watch the desert falcon fly

———

The king came down to the valley

He came to tame us but we

The king came down to the valley

But never did he get out

The king came down to the valley

Forbidden gods they rally

The king came down to the valley

But we put his life force out

——— He proclaimed that he was the lord

Of all of our magic

And we all must be in accord

Of words he declares

He proclaimed that he was the lord

Of all of our music

And we all must be in accord

Of his haughty stares

———

But he was wrong

And we were strong

And he did fall

We rose up tall

But he was wrong

And we were strong

Forevermore

His banner’s tore ———

The king came down to the valley

He came to tame us but we

The king came down to the valley

But never did he get out

The king came down to the valley

Forbidden gods they rally

The king came down to the valley

But we put his life force out

———

He proclaimed that we were for him

And all of our life breath

When compared to his own was dim

Not as sacred bloomed

He proclaimed that we were for him

And our pain and our death

When compared to his own was dim

Without him we’re doomed

———

But he was wrong

And we were strong

And he did fall

We rose up tall

But he was wrong

And we were strong

Forevermore

His banner’s tore ———

The king came down to the valley

He came to tame us but we

The king came down to the valley

But never did he get out

The king came down to the valley

Forbidden gods they rally

The king came down to the valley

But we put his life force out

———

We proclaimed the we were the guard

Of valleys and cliff sides

And of the night many-starred

We won’t let him rule

We proclaimed that we were the guard

Of children, our soul’s guides

And of the night many-starred

And he was a fool

———

And he was wrong

And we were strong

And he did fall

We rose up tall

And he was wrong

And we were strong

Forevermore

His banner’s tore ———

The king came down to the valley

He came to tame us but we

The king came down to the valley

But never did he get out

The king came down to the valley

Forbidden gods they rally

The king came down to the valley

But we put his life force out

——— He told us to praise him

To hail him, upraise him

He told us to praise him

But we won, we razed him

He told us to cheer him

Obey him and fear him

He told us to cheer him

But we won, we jeer him

———

But he was wrong

And we were strong

And he did fall

We rose up tall

But he was wrong

And we were strong

Forevermore

His banner’s tore

———

The king came down to the valley

He came to tame us but we

The king came down to the valley

But never did he get out

The king came down to the valley

Forbidden gods they rally

The king came down to the valley

But we put his life force out

———

The story it doesn’t end here

It still stretches on to this day

And we recall it every year

So that all the children can play
