The General, The King
Two peaches, one is at war
The other is rotten to the core
I'll never see you
Stand eye to eye
The curtain's far too heavy
No goodbyes
The general, the king
Oh, how I love you
You made it out
And no "it's nice to meet you,"
No awkward handshake
No "see you next week,"
No being late
He said "I have seen the others, buried in space"
I declared "I love you"
Mask on his face
He's the general, the king
I declare I love you
But this empty house
Is getting full, through smoke and vines
And over it your standing, your heart on the line
Step through the door
You'll see the sun
My hand on your shoulder
The war was...
He's the general, the king
I say I love you
You flew away
Two wings
One is torn
The other still flaping
Acanthus in thorns
I'll never see you,
Bar from pictures they hung,
Up above their pillows
And below where they sung
About the general, the king
We declare we love you through song
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
The general, the king
I say I love you
You confess you are the poet
I turn to you in thought and you know it
From you I learned
But have you forgot?
I had so much to tell
To the poet, the king
You are the general of our bloodstreams
You ordered that they let down their weapons
They stared straight ahead, and didn't let up
I've tried to read your every thought
And I'll say it was hard
Cause you're the poet, oh, you're the king
Forever my general
Of my broken heart
There is no hole, for that I can be sure
For you on the other hand
I don't know
And I'll never know without asking them
Your three, your three loves
Of the poet, now the king
Forever my general
Of city doves
The places you went, and the places you've gone
Are they any different covered in snow?
A small layer that covers the ground
Buries all traces of where you've gone
The poet, the king
Leaves no trace
But its okay
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
The poet, the king
Oh, he's the general
I love you
The other is rotten to the core
I'll never see you
Stand eye to eye
The curtain's far too heavy
No goodbyes
The general, the king
Oh, how I love you
You made it out
And no "it's nice to meet you,"
No awkward handshake
No "see you next week,"
No being late
He said "I have seen the others, buried in space"
I declared "I love you"
Mask on his face
He's the general, the king
I declare I love you
But this empty house
Is getting full, through smoke and vines
And over it your standing, your heart on the line
Step through the door
You'll see the sun
My hand on your shoulder
The war was...
He's the general, the king
I say I love you
You flew away
Two wings

The other still flaping
Acanthus in thorns
I'll never see you,
Bar from pictures they hung,

And below where they sung

We declare we love you through song
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
The general, the king
I say I love you

You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
The poet, the king
Oh, he's the general
I love you
