The 44th King Lyrics


The ramparts are standing so frail tonight

Surrounding the pleasure of our play

This view feels so exposed and haunted

Now, hold me near to your heart

Oh listen, something's rustling at the door

Extended shadows looming tall

This night a cold breeze is greeting me

Now, hold me near to your heart

I'll drop my pants on King's New Square

To the Queen, the colours or any passing bore

Well, I am the king of sun and air

Yeah, I am the king but what-do-we-care?

I fell into your arms, and now I feel so weak

I fell into your arms, and now I'm repeating it

So please hold me near, my friend

Because I'm not feeling that very well

Or am I?

Oh, down into these peculiar heights I'm sinking again

Your soft and blurred voice

Your friendly face fades aside

I can endure the blow of any canonball

While keeping the blind eye shut

Pissing my signature in the snow

God bless the Realm of Decay

The night of thousands of suns ablaze

Scenes of dripping ink and the heavy blade

Hanging over our heads ready to give in

Can't you feel it's coming down, it's coming down for sure

Now the curtain falls!
