The King Will Come [From Argus] Lyrics
In the fire, the king will come
Thunder rolls, piper and drum
Evil sons, overrun
Count their sins judgment comes
The checkerboard of Knights and Knaves
Man will die, man be saved
The sky will fall, the earth will pray
When judgment comes to claim its day
See the word of the prophet
On a stone of his hand
Poison pen revelation
Or just a sign in the sand?
The checkerboard of Knights and Knaves
Man will die, man be saved
The sky will fall, the earth will pray
When judgment comes to claim its day
See the word of the prophet
On a stone of his hand
Poison pen revelation
Or just a sign in the sand?
Thunder rolls, piper and drum
Evil sons, overrun
Count their sins judgment comes
Man will die, man be saved
The sky will fall, the earth will pray
When judgment comes to claim its day
On a stone of his hand
Poison pen revelation
Or just a sign in the sand?
Man will die, man be saved
The sky will fall, the earth will pray
When judgment comes to claim its day
On a stone of his hand
Poison pen revelation
Or just a sign in the sand?

An awesome song when i saw them do it live and a fine example of the "twin lead" guitar sound they were famous for. This song is about the Prince of Peace, the Lord God--Jesus Christ!
The lyrics are loaded with images from Revelation and other Biblical passages. A majestic guitar tribute to the Almighty..I'm proud of them for recording this and playing it live so many hundreds of times. Laurie Wisefield and Andy Powell could crank up those Marshalls and wail out killer solos and lead lines ALL NIGHT!! What a truly underrated ensemble.
