Girl of My Dream - Album Title Contest

TIME  WAS peaceful farmers were  happy to reap their corn.
I am a farmers son, it's not my idea of living, not since the time I was born.
I had a girl, my heart was broken when  I awoke to find
my girl was in my imagination, BLOWIN FREE In the wind.

So it's a WARRIOR. I must become
no more farming for me, I need to find my soul
with other men and a sword to set myself free.
Free is that what I call it, brain full of emptiness I find.
Like a LEAF AND STREAM
That rushes by, wishing to run, not get left behind..
Shadows through the branches glow like a SOMETIME WORLD
Bringing thoughts of the young girl which  in my memory I hold

THE KING WILL COME,this is what they say
King of where I ask feeling a little despair,
Is it the devil king, full of fire just for me.
Or can I hear the screams of the people as they flee
from judgement day, it's so silly 
it's cast in stone when you will leave.

I will THROW  DOWN THE SWORD,
the fight Is over we have lost the cause.
Boy how I wanted to win such a prize, 
yes my time is my own, to rethink my fate.
No longer to dream but go out and find
That girl who in my heart I left behind.
