A Farewell to the Kings
When they turn the pages of historyWhen these days have passed long agoWill they read of us with sadnessFor the seeds that we let grow?We turned our gazeFrom the castles in the distanceEyes cast downOn the path of least resistance
Cities full of hatredFear and liesWithered heartsAnd cruel, tormented eyesScheming demonsDressed in kingly guiseBeating down the multitudeAnd scoffing at the wise
The hypocrites are slanderingThe sacred halls of truthAncient nobles showeringTheir bitterness on youthCan't we findThe minds that made us strong?Can't we learnTo feel what's right and wrong?
Cities full of hatredFear and liesWithered heartsAnd cruel, tormented eyesScheming demonsDressed in kingly guiseBeating down the multitudeAnd scoffing at the wiseCan't we raise our eyesAnd make a start?Can't we find the mindsTo lead us closer to the heart?
