Spent Grain - The King Lyrics




They're sipping poison
As they watch the world burn
Go for the gold now
And forget what we've learned

About our humanity
And the evils of vanity
Tell me can we be snow blind to insanity
Brother?

The king is dead
Long live the king
The king is dead
Long live the king

They're lighting torches
To put to the palace
They're marching ever harder
Into the abyss

The king has been captured
The eve of the rapture
And everything's backwards
Here in the hereafter
Brother
The king is dead
Long live the king
The king is dead
Long live the king

But with the whole world laughing at him
Like the jester in the court
He got up on the throne
And he put us in a world of hurt

He's wiping blood now
From the soles of his boots
He says "kill all the scholars
I will write my own truth"
But that crown is heavy
Can he keep it steady
He said he's ready
To turn our world on its head
Let's see

The king is dead
Long live the king
The king is dead
Long live the king

The king is dead
Long live the king
The king is dead
Long live the king

The king is dead
Long live
Long live
The king
