Right Way

Verse 1

Wessex

Cold clay

Mud on the boots of a king

I built the wall

I bought the peace

Burning cakes while the fire gets higher

Hard wood

Danish blood

I trade the silver for a minute of silence

Maybe I build

Maybe I learn

Maybe I pray while the winter turns

Iron won't fix what the mind can't reach

Chorus

I do it the right way

I do it the right way

Writing the laws in the light of the day

Teaching the sons how to lead

Teaching the sons how to lead

Heavy the head but I'm planting the seed

Yeah

Right way

The right way

Verse 2

Stutter

Sharp tongue

Ink on the parchment is heavy

I read the books

I translated the truth

Lifting the people up out of the dirt

Latin

English

God in the middle of a war

Look

I am the scholar

I am the shield

I am the shepherd in a barren field

Foundations

First stones

Setting the tone for the future throne

One man

One vision

Making the difficult decision

Gold on the shelf

Peace in the self

I don't need help

Chorus

I do it the right way

I do it the right way

Writing the laws in the light of the day

Teaching the sons how to lead

Teaching the sons how to lead

Heavy the head but I'm planting the seed

Yeah

Right way

The right way

Bridge

They want the chaos

I want the culture

They want the carcass

I am no vulture

History remembers the man who could think

History remembers the ink

Chorus

I do it the right way

I do it the right way

Writing the laws in the light of the day

Teaching the sons how to lead

Teaching the sons how to lead

Heavy the head but I'm planting the seed

Yeah

Right way

The right way

Outro

Alfred

Check the record

It's clean

The right way

Always the right way
