A Farewell To Kings Lyrics

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 stong
Can't we learn
To feel what's right and 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
   Can't we raise our eyes
   And make a start
   Can't we find the minds
   To lead us closer to the Heart
