The Flower Kings - For Those About To Drown lyrics

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 Each and every day gets colder No remorse for drowning souls He is just a King who lost his marbles & 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 Each and every day gets colder No remorse for drowning souls He is just a King who lost his marbles & his mind
