Lyrics
Once We Were Kings
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fire...I hold the mythic flame within my palm
Fire...Wildly dancing in the still of night
This dream that fades before it soars
A frozen lake of blood and guilt
Abandon hope, who enter here
My love has died so long ago
Cowards...You preached from temples made of flesh and bone
Envy...She was the poison torturing your souls
Gorging...Devouring killer gnawing at our scars
Fury...A beast in bondage rotting in the ground
And my heart and my soul flee with the flames
Once we were kings
Before your throne
We tasted death
For promised stars in skies we longed
Yet stars don't shine, where darkness reigns
May fiery hope deliver us
And my heart and my soul flee with the flames
Once we were kings
And the wind gently sings
Of the lives we have lost
But once we were kings
And as the fire sears our weary flesh
The seven rays have lost their hold
The slaves of yore rise with the smoke
This reign shall fall and rise no more
Your wrath remains, your pleasure wretched
A wayward child lost in the storm
Forgotten feats return to haunt your doom
I will not be the last to go
And my heart and my soul flee with the flames
Once we were kings
And the wind gently sings
Of the lives we have lost
But once we were kings...
