The King is Dead

The dawn of a new day
A new horizon
The king that has reigned
Lies still and silent
Darkened skies above
A city fallen
Lost in a time of dread
Over and over and over and over (again)

The sky was black and the rivers bled
The wall came falling down
The king is dead
The king is dead
The king is dead

The tyrant takes the crown
Evil doings
Sands of time that pass
Nightmare ensuing
Heir to the throne has fled
Chaos ruling
Sign of the Beast became their undoing

The sky was black and the rivers bled
The wall came falling down
The king is dead

Under the southern cross
Townsmen brooding
A time of unrest beset on nights enduring
Darkest eyes that bled
Mass destruction
Over the hills they came
To do it all over and over and over (again)

The sky was black and the rivers bled
The wall came falling down
The king is dead
The king is dead
The king is dead

The time is now
No matter how
Find the strength
Turn it all around
Take hold and believe of what might seem
Insanity
Lost inside a dream
