All the old kings sold their crowns downtown Left a child to guard their fortunes While the Young Lions were on the prowl He said, "the watch is asleep in the tower! The back door's open wide There's a fox making wine in the vineyard I'll be ready when it comes my time." A child stands in the throne room Eyes so wide but unafraid The One King's never known you (And He knows how kings are made) The battle raged as the child so bravely struck down them devils One by one The old kings returned to find the doors were locked, the vineyard red And the battle won He said, "I cast down the watch from the tower The door's locked from inside I make blood wine down in the vineyard 'Cause I was ready when it came my time." The old kings ask me, "Norman! Haven't you ever sinned?" -Oh, I haven't sinned in years! But you're out there and I'm in here! And if I find you asleep in the tower If the back door's open wide I'll be makin' blood wine in the vineyard I'll be ready – I got nothin' but time!
