There's a king in the castle in the land of tomorrow,
He rules in silence from a lonely throne,
The color of power is on his hand,
Saving the heroes again and again.
Just a child, but from her mind, came the question, you've got to read it.
The creator laughed, a beautiful thought, a child's vision, you've got to read it.
He lives between the ticks of a second,
Never here but never there,
Stuck between the planes of existence,
Always here and always there.
It was long ago, the girl spoke, then it started, you've got to read it.
Why is he here? What if he left? Black American steel, you've got to read it.
Oh, mirror, mirror raise the wall because the sky is about to fall and
Her world was tested by the Kingdom Come
Though she was in too deep, the earth is ruled by the meek.
They'd all forgotten how the mighty defend their young
There was a sign that the chosen one had come
Her world kept her alive, the walls shattered just in time
She returned at the age of nine.
By the time it all hits, the world just forgets
How much we loved the adopted son
And when it happens again everybody still pretends
Hallowed be thy shame and thy Kingdom Come
Twist of fate, that I relate, creator's apprentice, you've got to read it
The Innocent Age, forever changed, revelation, you've got to read it
There's a woman at a table in the middle of Vegas,
She's scarlet red, Valentine
A fighter and a lover but she wants to remember
How it felt to be nine again.
The Golden Age, she knew no pain, retaliation, you've got to read it
Young and old, a silver word, another genesis, you've got to read it
