Jewels Pt 1

A Hero standing tall on a backstreet, wondering, Wondering what it takes to make the kingdom come Hammered on his fists beneath the sign of his Devil How'd it come to be that all the wise ones fall? They had to reach out for peace before the madman Come to think, what if all his words is how the truth comes home A hero's falling down, but a stumble, just a shake Blame is all that ever seems to find his door Casting out his hand for the weary, has to ask Why did you ever think that she had lived at all? Marching up the trail to the enemy's sanctum Grace and glory cease beneath redemption's call Stung by the sea in a search for flaming wings An island awake and so far from alone Set out for three upon a violent churning sea How'd it come to be that he could find but one? Escaping from the mist in a shadow, moving cliffs Baring south, where oh where have the shining Jewels gone?
