The Confidence Of Kings --words and music by Michael Stanley Mattie was our oracle a conjurer of dreams His tallboy like a sceptre in the air And he'd say the past is prologue and all's not as it seems And time is short and second acts are rare... And he'd say come on boys let's make some noise See what all this brings Shine your light around tonight With the confidence of kings... And the chorus of the sirens Yeah he'd hear 'em on the breeze And every sigh was taken all to heart And with eyes that burned like embers Yeah he'd freeze us with his gaze And say it's time to take this night apart... And the future rose before us like a road beneath our feet And towards the sun we made our run with no thoughts of retreat... And a ship that's going nowhere needs wind behind its sails And for awhile Mattie was our wind But sailors tend to scatter Yeah and what I wouldn't give To be back there and hear those words again...
