Lyrics
Kings and Councilors
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.
There's a card up my sleeve.
It's a quicker solution and it's easier than honesty.
There's a look on your face,
Like you've just seen a murder and you're terrified beyond belief.
You think you figured this out?
With the lights all down low, and a stare that could chill the bone.
Like a half way house,
Empty your pockets, unload all your failures.
Walk away like nothing happened,
Whispering it's gonna make sense in the end.
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
Cover up those fair intentions,
After this we will never be the same again.
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
Take me back to the start,
We had every intention of building an empire of gold.
It's a common mistake,
We wander through side streets when all of the lights turn to waves.
Let the nightmare begin,
Send the dogs from grave, let that orchestra creep through your feet.
It's a little too late,
My thoughts turn to feelings like angels to demons.
Walk away like nothing happened,
Whispering it's gonna make sense in the end.
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
Cover up those fair intentions,
After this we will never be the same again.
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
Like an avalanche,
I will bring you to your knees.
And the pressure will crush your bones,
Silencing your screams.
Like an avalanche,
I will bring you to your knees.
And the pressure will crush your bones,
Silencing your screams.
Walk away like nothing happened,
Whispering it's gonna make sense in the end.
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
What can wash away your sins?
Nothing (nothing), Nothing (nothing),
Nothing but the blood.
What can wash away your sins?
Nothing (nothing), Nothing (nothing),
Nothing but the blood.
Blood for blood, blood for blood.
