For Those About To Drown
The queen behind the veil is mindless
Depraved and without love and kindness
The song she sings
Has lost its soul
The king is busy with his plot
Promises of love forgotten
The words are bold
But without soul
So
A stranger comes to town
With a promise of salvation
For those about to drown
Smile while you carry on
You know that the thrill is gone
You smile until the light goes down
It's the nature of the game
Rising banners on navy skylines
You're cold
(Each and every day gets colder, no remorse for drowning souls)
But you carry on
(He is just a king who lost his marbles and his mind)
The queen is silent and alone
He built her a prison that he calls home
Dreams at night are crude and cold as love grows old
The king is gathering all his men
Reverted back to sword from pen
A genius lie
But it drowned in cries
So
A stranger comes to town
With a promise of salvation
For those about to drown
Smile while you carry on
You know that the thrill is gone
You smile until the light goes down
It's the nature of the game
Rising banners on navy skylines
You're cold
But you carry on
So
A stranger comes to town
With a promise of salvation
For those about to drown
Smile while you carry on
You know that the thrill is gone
You smile until the light goes down
It's the nature of the game
Rising banners on navy skylines
Cold
(Each and every day gets colder, no remorse for drowning souls)
Carry on
(He is just a king who lost his marbles and his mind)
Rising banners on navy skylines
Depraved and without love and kindness
The song she sings
Has lost its soul
The king is busy with his plot
Promises of love forgotten
The words are bold
But without soul
So
A stranger comes to town
With a promise of salvation
For those about to drown
Smile while you carry on
You know that the thrill is gone
You smile until the light goes down
It's the nature of the game
Rising banners on navy skylines
You're cold
(Each and every day gets colder, no remorse for drowning souls)
But you carry on
(He is just a king who lost his marbles and his mind)
The queen is silent and alone
He built her a prison that he calls home
Dreams at night are crude and cold as love grows old
The king is gathering all his men
Reverted back to sword from pen
A genius lie
But it drowned in cries
So
A stranger comes to town
With a promise of salvation
For those about to drown
Smile while you carry on
You know that the thrill is gone
You smile until the light goes down
It's the nature of the game
Rising banners on navy skylines
You're cold
But you carry on
So
A stranger comes to town
With a promise of salvation
For those about to drown
Smile while you carry on
You know that the thrill is gone
You smile until the light goes down
It's the nature of the game
Rising banners on navy skylines
Cold
(Each and every day gets colder, no remorse for drowning souls)
Carry on
(He is just a king who lost his marbles and his mind)
Rising banners on navy skylines
