That's right folks, Equestrian Lord is back with a brand new track, but......WHAT'S THIS??? A song that's NOT mlp-related??? BLASPHEMY!!!
Well as it turns out, the mood may strike us every so often to write a song based on a favourite movie or book of ours.
This track, "The Thief And The Cobbler," is based on the unfinished film of the same name directed by Canadian master animator Richard Williams (lead animator on "Who Framed Roger Rabbit").

LYRICS:
"Happy is the kingdom,
In this milk-and-honey'd land...
Happy are the subjects
Who live beneath your hand...
We rejoice at all around us
As this beauteous evening falls,
Safe beneath the sure protection
Of the ancient golden balls......"*

Once upon a time on the ancient eastern sands
There stands a golden city, untouched by foreign hands
And high atop the skyline, on the tallest minaret
The three golden spheres protect from every threat

(solo: Steel Strings)

And down on the shimmering city streets
Two strangers will enact their fate
A poor, young cobbler's apprentice
And a simple urchin-thief who bears no name

(chorus 1)
By a simple chance they meet
And disturb the hands of fate
Destiny shall intertwine their fates as one
As their odyssey begins
The grand vizier shall grin
The thief and the cobbler
Have enacted their destiny as one

(solo: Steel Strings)

Far across the desert plain, a threat is growing real
The one-eyed king's great army, they blaze a bloody trail
"The golden balls have disappeared," the grand vizier exclaims
"We must act quickly if the city's to be saved."

The cobbler shall now begin his journey
He treks under the blazing desert sun
To reach the mountain of the mad old holy witch
And bring the light back home

(chorus 2)
The golden city shall be saved
By the simplest of things
Destiny has intertwined their fates as one
As the evil closes in,
The grand vizier shall grin
The thief and the cobbler
Have enacted their destiny as  one

(solo: Steel Strings)

When to the wall you find your back
Attack, attack, and never look back
Faith in yourself is what you lack
Attack, attack, and never look back
(repeat)

(solo: Steel Strings)

"It is written among the limitless constellations
Of the celestial heavens,
And in the depths of the emerald seas,
And upon every grain of sand in the vast deserts...
That the world which we see
Is an outward and visible dream
Of an inward and invisible reality......"**

"I've had a dream...a nightmare......
My kingdom will come to destruction and death!"***

As the war machine draws nearer
The city's subjects watch in fear
The cobbler and the princess,
They fight the evil force
And the thief blindly steals back the spheres

The war machine bursts into flames
King One-Eye's fallen from high atop his throne
The golden balls have been restored atop the minaret
And peace is reborn

(chorus 3)
The golden city has been saved
By the simplest of things
Destiny has intertwined their fates as one
As the evil closes in,
The grand vizier shall grin
The thief and the cobbler
Have enacted their destiny as one
