The Man Who Would Be King Lyrics - The Final Frontier - Iron Maiden

As he travels on the beast of Burden 

Moving up along the mountain side 

As he gazes looking down the valley 

No regrets but his pride 

As he journeys across mountain passes 

And significant sweeps overhand 

His reflection of the beauty around him 

Feeling empty inside 

He is running from his wildest thoughts 

He is running from his everything 

He is looking now to find something 

Hoping he could be saved 

He's searching for the answer now 

Is something that he's managed to avoid up until now 

Looking for the conviction that he craves 

He needs to find the answer sooner or later

Pushed himself to the limits 

He had to strife for all the harder things in life 

But what the cost to give him now 

His life and time is the only things that he has 

Life is is not a rehearsal, only has this the one chance to get it right 

Living really is only way to know 

Maybe one day they'll forgive him what he's done 

with all the pain of lying too early in the grave 

Destiny, no good to hide away 

Hear us now, we'll be his only way 

Understand, no good to run away 

Hear us now, we'll be his saving grace 

(solo) 

Just to make his peace with God 

All is forgivable but he's left a little late 

Trying something that he's not 

Is impossible to change such a lot 

Photos 

He's taken someone's life away 

There's not a day that goes by he regrets what he's done 

He should have found another way 

But the good book says an eye for an eye 

In reflecting on decisions that were made 

On the judgements that will haunt him 'till his grave 

No-one has the right to take another life 

But in his mind he had no choice so be it 

Destiny, no good to hide away 

Hear us now, we'll be his only way 

understand, no good to run away 

Hear us now, we'll be his saving grace 

Destiny, no good to hide away 

Hear us now, we'll be his only way 

understand, no place to run away 

Hear us now, we'll be his saving grace 

Far, far away 

The man who would be king 

Far, far away 

The man who would be king 

So far away 

The man who would be king 

So far away 

The man who would be king 

Far, far away 

The man who would be king
