	I wrote this song with the help of a deck of tarot cards. The flute gives it sort of a medieval feel, the lead is more like Eddie.

	Story Behind the Song I was coming up empty while trying to write the words for this song when I found a deck of tarot cards. I rolled the cards and this is the story they told. Of course, I could have read them wrong! Lyrics The king of swords sit on his throne A vision of authority With a wave of the wand he starts anew It's time for a new beginning The tower blocks the light out The dark of his disgrace A foolish wish is freedom Now love has run it's race He's always been a strong man A power with him goes But now the end of everything That he has come to know The cards say that he'll adjust Find his dreams and his visions Judge his life and see his death He'll beat the indecision The past it doesn't matter But tomorrow isn't free Veiled by distance and by darkness Impossible to see The future is in sunshine Now yesterday is dead And there he will find happiness Or so the cards have said The king of swords sit on his throne A vision of authority With a wave of the wand he starts anew It's time for a new beginning The weight of years upon him sit Like water down the drain Now yesterday is gone at last And took with it the pain He's always been a strong man A power with him goes But now the start of everything That he will ever know
