His palace is of skulls His crown is the last splinter Of the last vessel...alive His place is amongst the skulls His throne is scaffold of bones Some hang things [?] by his stretcher Carry on, carry on... His palace is of skulls His mode is a river of fangs... And antlers, and tusks, and needles, and knives, and guns Carry on, carry on, carry on
You're the king of carrion Carry on, carry on, carry on You're the king His kingdom is empty now The emptiness of the last cry... That [wept?] hugely and hopelessly away Away, away, away Can't you hear the desert singing? Carry on, carry on, carry on Hills, and [?], and mountains ringin' Carry on, carry on, carry on Carry on!
