King of Pain rumbled down ‘e peaks
to the plain of Cynic Wonderland
the long black veil of sorrow ‘n regrets
spread over all the steel harts

Bitterly wandering when ‘n why
‘round ‘n ‘round they go
‘round ‘n ‘round they come
‘round ‘n ‘round they die

Execration and despair as hard rains
heavily pour down ‘n flood
shuddering souls ‘n shaking soils
that crumble down in dark slimy mud

Bitterly wandering when ‘n why
‘round ‘n ‘round they go
‘round ‘n ‘round they come
‘round ‘n ‘round they die

Burned flowers in the still darkness
of this frore stone night,
watch with starry blind eyes
vicious clouds in a scary sky

Bitterly wandering when ‘n why
‘round ‘n ‘round they go
‘round ‘n ‘round they come
‘round ‘n ‘round they die

Half-lives half-loves half-lies
in a merry-go-round
hand-in-hand bent their knees
wildly laughin’ as crazy crowd

Bitterly wandering when ‘n why
‘round ‘n ‘round they go
‘round ‘n ‘round they come
‘round ‘n ‘round they die

Knight-errant in search of your Grail
lost in confusion as a motherless child
ranger of the soul chokin’ in vain
be my amigo in this dreadful night

Bitterly wandering when ‘n why
‘round ‘n ‘round they go
‘round ‘n ‘round they come
‘round ‘n ‘round they die

I’ll sing for you a gentle song of hope
I’ll ride with you shoulder to shoulder
I’ll lead the way to the realm of fancy
till the Avenger work is done and over

Bitterly wandering when ‘n why
‘round ‘n ‘round they go
‘round ‘n ‘round they come
‘round ‘n ‘round they die
