lyrics

KING OF SWORDS

Speaking in tongues, he says “the throne is mine”. He froths at the mouth. Time lurches on, the questions just linger there. Submission hangs. Scalds. Burns. Beneath thick plastic sheets, fluorescent lights strobe, pulse. He wanders off to the deepest sleep. Eight sets of eyes, they wonder why. Wonder why. I fall, I fall farther and farther from you. Reach out in every direction but mine. Time lurches on and you stand still. I lost you. The shroud covers us all. The king is dead. Long live the king, king of swords.
