lyrics

THE MYTH REIGNS FREE WHEN PEASANTS HAVE SWORDS WHEN BEGGARS HAVE CHANGE IS THIS THE END OF THE WORLD WHEN YOU AND i SPOKE OF THE COMING OF AN AGE WHERE THEY STEAL WHAT WE HOARD IS THIS THE EMPIRE’S DREAM ADORED AND i WILL NOT LIE i FEAR THE COMING OF THE LAMB FOR YOU AND i BOTH LOVE THE EMPIRE’S SWEET DEMANDS BUT WE STILL SIT PRETENDING WE’RE KINGS AND WE SING PRAISE LONG LIVE THE KINGS OUR HANDS UNCLEAN WHEN LEPERS HAVE LORDS WHEN PAUPERS HAVE CHAINS CALLED TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD ASKED TO TAKE A YOKE AS WE WATCH THE WARS THEY RAGE DEATH IS OUR REWARD IN THIS DREAM WE CANNOT AFFORD AND i PRAY WHEN WE DIE THAT WE WILL NOT BE DAMNED FOR YOU AND i BOTH WORSHIP OUR IDOLS WHERE WE STAND BUT WE STILL SIT PRETENDING WE’RE KINGS AND WE SING PRAISE LONG LIVE THE KINGS
