Kings and Queens It hasnt Rained in years, And the castle walls Will soon disappear, While the land waits To swallow it whole, For the last remaining man Has the last remaining soul. -moderate instrumental- The Phoenix Flew straight down Through the embarking spirits That had left their humble ground And it set aflame All that we called home But though we called it such a thing, It felt like we were all alone- And all the bitterness Grew well up into pride, For the candle light vigil Of God would not subside- We let the world Crumble on it's own, Beneath us And all our names were on the stone. He was the flood He thought he was a savior- For the good Through his unsavory behavior- With his weapons There's fire all around In the cancer That spread mercilessly...over the ground. Ivory towers That we've built so tall Deep inside There's a little Babel in us all And the hedonistic pleasures Behind our sweet sadistic lives Have left a cold sardonic attitude In our catatonic hives. The horsemen Numbering four Come knocking violently At your deadbolted doors And when they find you The castle will fall With it's sky devouring towers And it's people that once stood tall. He was the flood He thought he was a savior- For the good Through his unsavory behavior- With his fire There's blood boiling all around In the cancer That spread mercilessly...over the ground. -short instrumental- And the grace That will never be found... -long instrumental- There's fire all around... (x8) To stand before God We would shake out of our skin Knowing all that we've done wrong Is a testiment to our sin And to those that do not recognize The place we should call home Though you felt so in control That life was not your own And you're childish disposition Your excuse for all you've done Cannot save you from the fire, Cannot save you... From the Sun. ... Seven billion kings and queens Died that year- In the fire Of it's unrelenting peers.
