The Mountain Goats - Clemency for the Wizard King Lyrics

We who train in the way of the blade
We who sleep in the accursed glade
We've come before you now
We've come before you now

We who in his favor would stand
Who lovingly await his most fearsome command
We've come before you now
We've come before you now

Cut loose the handcuffs
Let him go free

We who travel by starlight
We who slipped past your guards in the night
We've come before you now
We've come before you now

We who boldly lay claim to our own
We who have seen the chamber of the one true son
We who have seen the kindness of the cracks of his face
We who will die if we must in this place

We've come before you
Outnumbered and unafraid
Well-trained in the way of the blade

Cut loose the handcuffs
Let him go free (Let him go free, let him go free)
