lyrics

A Man & His Son

When a man loves his son any price he will pay
So his child can make it through another day
He will stand against the wind, he will rail against the rain
He will end any bloody tyrant’s reign.

When a man loves his son he will threaten the blazing sun
He will make the devil’s army turn & run
He will kill all the stars, tear down a vicious moon
And send all the planets to their doom.

Chorus
And I know this man, yes, I have seen this man
I see him in my mirror everyday
Yes, I know this man, I have seen this man
He stares from my mirror everyday.

When a man loves his son every soldier must know:
He will fight them ‘til he’s bleeding, take every blow
He will fight like Hannibal, before Carthage fell
He will send fallen angels straight to hell.

When a man loves his son he will make empires quake
Slay any fake Goliath for his son’s sake
He will murder any man if & when he stands
If that man on his son lays his hand.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

When a man loves his son he will conquer Rome
He will destroy any demons if they come home
Every bully will fall if they ever come to call
He will slaughter cities with a wrecking ball.

When a man loves his son it’s for all Kingdom Come
His love for him will almost make him numb
This son won’t walk alone, in no despair he’ll drown
And no man will ever drag him down.

Chorus

He stares from my mirror every day, he stares from my mirror every day.
