By The Drifter from Heaven Here lies a King whose crown was made of thorn, A golden nail that cast a grievous wound for the forlorn, He traded scepters for a bed of clay, A throne of decay for a king slain in dismay. Yet beneath the dust where the shadows lie deep, A quiet grace wakes while the weary bones sleep. No longer a prisoner of the thorn and the nail, He finds a new kingdom where the light shall not fail.

The Epitaph
By The Drifter from Heaven Here lies a King whose crown was made of thorn, A golden nail that cast a grievous wound for the forlorn, He traded scepters for a bed of clay, A throne of decay for a king slain in dismay. Yet beneath the dust where the shadows lie deep, A quiet grace wakes while the weary bones sleep. No longer a prisoner of the thorn and the nail, He finds a new kingdom where the light shall not fail.
