Stone Castles

from We Were Always Loyal To Lost Causes by The Dandelion War

lyrics

Throne made of gold,
Diamonds, and pearls
No king lives forever

Weaponry, armor,
Mighty stone castle
No king lives forever

Royal rivals threaten
With tongues of rancor
No king lives forever

They’re hungry for power
Thirsty for war
No king lives forever

Your kingdom, their target
Missiles soon will soar
No king lives forever

Forced into battle
You reach for your sword
No king lives forever

You lead your men
Into the battlefront
(The front)
Through ground that will soon be covered in blood
(Your blood)

You lead your men
Into the battlefront
(The front)
Through ground that will soon be covered in blood
(Your blood)

They fire first
Bullet through your heart
Their hearts
You lay helpless on enemy ground,
Unsound

They fire first
Bullet through your heart
Their hearts
You lay lifeless on enemy ground,
Uncrowned

Sleep soundly now, wretched king
They tricked you into battle
No king, no king lives forever
