Lyrics

[Verse 1]
After he climbed the mountain high
He came down
He came down
[Verse 2]
After he walked into the sky
He came down
He came down
[Verse 3]
When he was given another name
When he happened onto a tree aflame
Nothing would ever be the same
He came down
He came down
[Verse 4]
After he met a shadow man
He came down
He came down
[Verse 5]
He left with lightning in his hand
He came down
He came down
[Verse 6]
He was a phantom without a doubt
Same with the poison that took him out
There was nothing to talk about
He came down
He came down
[Verse 7]
When his lover was lost in hell
He came down
He came down
[Verse 8]
He liberated the mademoiselle
He came down
He came down
[Verse 9]
He would abandon a life of crime
He adjusted the paradigm
He was a legend in his time
He came down
He came down
[Verse 10]
When there was trouble in the land
He came down
He came down
When things were getting out of hand
He came down
He came down
[Verse 11]
After he set the prisoners free
After they hung him from a tree
Nothing was it was as it used to be
He came down
He came down
[Verse 12]
Then after all was said and done
He came down
He came down
He found his one and only one
He came down
He came down
[Verse 13]
Out on the highway traveling south
Leaving a life he could live without
Nothing was bitter in his mouth
He came down
He came down
