The Wizard's Son

Lyrics: Stillson, Nelson
Music: Stillson, Nelson

One of the David Nelson Band songs played with Phil & Friends.

Here come the wizard's son
Doing like his daddy done
You never known anyone like the one
They call the wizard's son

Bound to roam, catacomb
[Or stand alone], the host of doom
And knows where the danger looms
Inside the one
They call the wizard's son

He keeps the demons under lock and key
They rattle their shackles relentlessly
Weary wicked, no rest for thee
That's the wizard legacy
Keeper of the key

Here comes the wizard's son
A walkin', talkin', smokin' gun
He's the d in the damage done decidely
'Cause he's the wizard's son

The adder's tongue, a soundless tune
The unborn past has come too soon
For deeds undone, what's lost is won
By only one
They call the wizard's son

The shadows of forgotten ancestry
Are cast upon what nobody can foresee
Hieretic literology
That's the wizard legacy
Keeper of the key

Here come the wizard's son
Doing like his daddy done
You never anyone like the one
They call the wizard's son
They call the wizard's son
They call the wizard's son
Call the wizard's son
