At Once the Future King Lyrics by GhostOfAnEgo

Runaway Tales: The Ballad of the Midnight Rider

2013

[Verse I: GhostOfAnEgo]
The roar is weak, the throat is too sore to speak
The horror to be meek, the horror to be me
No
I know the lion lives inside
The lion's pride, the lion's hide
Impenetrable, inevitable, it's eventual
In the end though I will be king
[Intermission I: Lion King]
I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar
Thus far a rather uninspiring thing
[Verse II: GhostOfAnEgo]
King? Who are you kidding?
You'll be did in kid
You might as well give in
You might well
Well you might not
You might see you've got the might
It takes to make it
The fight it takes
To shake through, to break through
To keep going with no slowing owing nobody
Knowing no one can outrun, outgun, or outdo
You
[Intermission II: Lion King]
Oh I just can't wait to be king
You've got rather a long way to go young master
If you think
[Verse III: GhostOfAnEgo]
King in the making
Kingdom for the taking
Win one for the bacon
No faking, no fainting
Vividly real
Did I appear to mutter or stutter?
[Intermission III: Lion King]
No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here
Now see here!
Free to run around all day
Free to do it all my way
[Verse VI: GhostOfAnEgo]
Greatness if I make it
I'll taste it
Famished for fame
Damn it my name in lights
Like young night I envisioned
[Intermission VI: GhostOfAnEgo]
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart
Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start
If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight
Not yet
[Verse V: GhostOfAnEgo]
No? What do you hear?
I hear a beat beneath me
I hear the feet of a crowd
Rowdy with rage
Dismayed they overpayed
For musicians overplayed
Overrated, outdated
No worries
I made it
*Lion roar*
