The New Imperialism - Kingdumb Lyrics

Have you seen the ghost my friend
The locals say he lives in sin
Maybe we can make our home on the range
He lurks in fields when no one's around
Sneaks in your house and burns it down
I don't wanna roam in these fields alone
I just fell in love today and have given all my things away
I don't want to live in this life alone
Give me love or give me death
I'll take it to my one last wary breath
I don't wanna rule on this lonesome throne
Try not to drop this candle until the lilies are gone
Only lovers are jilted band-boys start lynch mobs
Here on my pebble beach everyone's ascared of me
So arrogantly I plea for more than peace
So pack it up and stack it up this little one's had enough
War raging for the ones in the parking lot
And all the ways the dynasty will be remembered
He who kept them well tempered
These pilgrims won't sing with me
All they do is stare at my horns and plea
Why did I bother to burn it all down
No one will look to my eyes in this town
Me and my brothers burned it all down
We took to the streets and fought for the crown
Me and my brothers burned it all down
The dynasty will be remembered
Death to the kingdom and it's insolent charades
Sing all the people in a riotous way
Death to the kingdom and it's insolent charades
Sing all the people in a riotous way
Death to the kingdom and it's insolent charades
Sing all the people in a riotous way
As the sunlight it fades, the blood will not dry
As the sunlight it fades, the blood will not dry
As the sunlight it fades, the blood will not dry
