The Mountain Goats — Clemency for the Wizard King

[Verse 1] We who train in the way of the blade We who sleep in the accursed glade We come before you now We come before you now [Verse 2] We who in his favor would stand Who lovingly await his most fearsome command We come before you now We come before you now [Refrain] Cut loose the handcuffs Let him go free [Verse 3] We who travel by starlight We who slipped past your guards in the night We come before you now We come before you now [Bridge] We who boldly lay claim to our own We who've seen the chamber of the one true throne [Verse 4] We who've 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 [Refrain] Cut loose the handcuffs Let him go free Let him go free Let him go free Let him go free
