All the old kings sold their crowns downtownLeft a child to guard their fortunesWhile the Young Lions were on the prowlHe said, "the watch is asleep in the tower!The back door's open wideThere's a fox making wine in the vineyardI'll be ready when it comes my time."A child stands in the throne roomEyes so wide but unafraidThe One King's never known you(and He knows how kings are made)The battle raged as the child so bravely struck down them devilsOne by oneThe old kings returned to find the doors were locked, the vineyard redAnd the battle wonHe said, "I cast down the watch from the towerThe door's locked from insideI make blood wine down in the vineyard'Cause I was ready when it came my time."The old kings ask me, "Norman! Are you a child or an old king?"-What do you think?"Haven't you ever sinned?"-Oh, I haven't sinned in years!SongtexteBut you're out there and I'm in here!And if I find you asleep in the towerIf the back door's open wideI'll be makin' blood wine in the vineyardI'll be ready - I got nothin' but time!
