The Stag King Parade Lyrics

Stand off in an open field just outside of town

Only trying to find a spot to stop and settle down

But it's time to get back moving, no sanctuary found

It seems I know the feeling but at least I'm homeward bound

Standing in the stag king parade

Looking over all that the maker has made

And everything is still on the stones men laid

As he walks between the sun and the shade

Looking back a million years to the shadow far below

The dark before the dawn, the primordial eastern glow

I see Apollo's solitaire and watch it as it grows

Our tears are taken by the sky, we let the four winds blow

Standing in the stag king parade

Looking over all that the maker has made

And everything is still on the stones men laid

As he walks between the sun and the shade

When the king stands in the road, the crowd just stops and stares

Singing like a choir in a song of silent prayer

From bedrock up to red rock, the hole the whole world shares

When the sun hits that horizon, it strips your spirit bare

Standing in the stag king parade

Looking over all that the maker has made

And everything is still on the stones men laid

As he walks between the sun and the shade
