A Farewell to Kings

When they turn the pages of history When these days have passed long ago Will they read of us with sadness For the seeds that we let grow We turned our gaze from the castles in the distance Eyes cast down on the path of least resistance Cities full of hatred, fear and lies Withered hearts and cruel tormented eyes Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise Beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise The hypocrites are slandering the sacred halls of truth Ancient nobles showering their bitterness on youth Can't we find the minds that made us strong Ohh, can't we learn to feel what's right and what's wrong What's wrong? Cities full of hatred, fear and lies Withered hearts and cruel tormented eyes Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise Beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise Ohh, can't we raise our eyes and make a start Can't we find the minds to lead us closer to the heart
