Lyrics
King Of You
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.
Wave after wave wishes unspoken
Talks like a blowtorch
Palms out and frozen
Who said it's easy language is losing
I swallow the steam and claim to be stupid
Nails on the threshold
Moon free don't make me the king of you
Past is a point behind the horizon
Bottom of the flame
Burning the garden
Smiling on the threshold
Moon free don't make me the king of you
Well I'm a soldier for you frightened climbing
Don't make me the king of you
Wave after wishes my boon companion
Talks to the frost but who will cheer the champion
