Clemency for the Wizard King
John Darnielle
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)
