I am a man of my time
the last of my line
all that was his
now becomes mine

I am a king
Riding a cloud
while all around
funeral bell awaken the crowd

I am the last one
child of the past
the different, lonely one
returned home at last

I am the hardline
between strong and meek
I stand bravely
Defending my keep

Ride with me heroes
Myths and Men
hold up brave heads
and ride on histories pen


  Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow

walter this is awesome...one of my favs of yours...the last line is perfection... I love the way your pen recreates these legends
very good work.jm

 Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules
Do you care what is thought by others about you
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the present, the future the past...
