Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Selected for eternity
Where mighty names remain
Born to immortality
And overcome the sea of oblivion
With a crown on the head
They will lift the mourning veil
With a crown on the head
They will walk the gloomy dale
Admired and lifted to the sky
Their flame of live will die
Chosen to be kings
When they spread their wings
Kings who die
Although they live on forever
Souls drifting into the never
They´ll last on forever
The kings who die
Songs of wisdom and brave hearts
Of great legends sang by the bards
We´ll never forget when they are gone
Immortal for the work they have done
Kings who die
Although they live on forever
Souls drifting into the never
They´ll last on forever
Oh, kings who die
Kings who die
Although they live on forever
Souls drifting into the never
They´ll last on forever
Oh, kings who die
Where mighty names remain
Born to immortality
And overcome the sea of oblivion
With a crown on the head
They will lift the mourning veil
With a crown on the head
They will walk the gloomy dale
Admired and lifted to the sky
Their flame of live will die
Chosen to be kings
When they spread their wings
Kings who die
Although they live on forever
Souls drifting into the never
They´ll last on forever
The kings who die
Songs of wisdom and brave hearts
Of great legends sang by the bards
We´ll never forget when they are gone
Immortal for the work they have done
Kings who die
Although they live on forever
Souls drifting into the never
They´ll last on forever
Oh, kings who die
Kings who die
Although they live on forever
Souls drifting into the never
They´ll last on forever
Oh, kings who die

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
