Mmmmm...so incredibly satisfied. Read it.
Kings and Queens
It hasnt
Rained in years,
And the castle walls
Will soon disappear,
While the land waits
To swallow it whole,
For the last remaining man
Has the last remaining soul.
-moderate instrumental-
The Phoenix
Flew straight down
Through the embarking spirits
That had left their humble ground
And it set aflame
All that we called home
But though we called it such a thing,
It felt like we were all alone-
And all the bitterness
Grew well up into pride,
For the candle light vigil
Of God would not subside-
We let the world
Crumble on it's own,
Beneath us
And all our names were on the stone.
He was the flood
He thought he was a savior-
For the good
Through his unsavory behavior-
With his weapons
There's fire all around
In the cancer
That spread mercilessly...over the ground.
Ivory towers
That we've built so tall
Deep inside
There's a little Babel in us all
And the hedonistic pleasures
Behind our sweet sadistic lives
Have left a cold sardonic attitude
In our catatonic hives.
The horsemen
Numbering four
Come knocking violently
At your deadbolted doors
And when they find you
The castle will fall
With it's sky devouring towers
And it's people that once stood tall.
He was the flood
He thought he was a savior-
For the good
Through his unsavory behavior-
With his fire
There's blood boiling all around
In the cancer
That spread mercilessly...over the ground.
-short instrumental-
And the grace
That will never be found...
-long instrumental-
There's fire all around... (x8)
To stand before God
We would shake out of our skin
Knowing all that we've done wrong
Is a testiment to our sin
And to those that do not recognize
The place we should call home
Though you felt so in control
That life was not your own
And you're childish disposition
Your excuse for all you've done
Cannot save you from the fire,
Cannot save you...
From the Sun.
...
Seven billion kings and queens
Died that year-
In the fire
Of it's unrelenting peers.
It hasnt
