Do you believe in a fate - Everything comes to him who waits
Chance will bring you all you need - Ambition is a form of greed
The wind that takes the autumn leaves
The tides within the silent sea
These things decide your destiny
But you - are the one - with a childish - obsession
The future has’nt happened yet - and there’s a past you can’t forget
Do you know where you want to be
Do you believe what you can see
or do you see what you believe
Shovels - in the hands of men
Makes a time machine - once again
Now it’s dusty - where there was dirt
The windy city - beneath the earth
So Turkey is out of bounds - Secret agents chase you around
They all want what you have found - Stolen secrets from the ground,
A jewellery cache and a face from the past
Is Helen’s necklace and Hector’s mask
Fate displays it’s winning ways at last
Now where - can that treasure be - Somewhere in Adolf’s legacy
But Sophie looked so fine - an image of the time - (was this?)
The face that launched 1000 ships
And caused the earth to move for you
And you to move the earth for it
Archaeology is somethin new - Homer laid a trail for you
A magic tale of golden days
Can seize your mind and change your ways

The Holy Roman Empire
Are coming for us
The burning cross and crooked spire
Want to be our saviours
Their foraging armies
Take all our provisions
Don’t wait for me
Like I wait for The King Of Sweden ?
They come up The Spanish Road
You hear them marching so slow
They’re followed by the murder crows
Death is coming and we all know
Nothing on earth can stop them
This was our garden of Eden
There is so many of them
Where is The King Of Sweden ?
Where is The King Of Sweden ?
Well the Scottish Mercenaries
Won’t show no mercy
And nobody ever told me
I would die this early
The dawn chorus of babies
Squealin for their feedin
And I ain’t heard laughter lately
I ain’t heard laughter lately
O Where is The King Of Sweden ?
Why can’t life be like it was
We don’t need a new God
We didn’t need salvation
We don’t need to be a nation
Where is the King ?.................................................
I was born to die in Magdeburg
For Martin Luther and Calvin
But the sweetest sound I ever heard
Was your sweet voice a singin’
It’s a memory I cling to
As we all lie bleedin
It’s the only God I sing to
Where is The King Of Sweden ?
Where is The King Of Sweden ?
Why can’t life be like it was
We don’t need a new God
We didn’t need salvation
We don’t need to be a nation
Where is the King ?........................................
