This is a song called the history of Tenacious D
And its not just a list of bullshit that we've done in the past
It's a chronicling of our rise, to power!

We ride with kings on mighty steeds
C
Across the devils plain
D
We've walked with Jesus and his cross
C             G
He did not die in vain, NO!
