| | Album: | Mom, We Like It Here On Earth | | Track: | What It Takes To Be A King | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 193 | | | | Lyrics: | As my subjects wait for me
I proudly hold me stance
To declare a court
Where we will
meet and serve
The darkness of night gathered
My brother Thomas fell
Into my chamber
with a sword
Hiding there
He hoped to claim the reign
Two children
wrapped
In black and gold
Their father lay them down
Maidens came from far
away
To offer them their mothers' milk
They dreamed of glory
Dreamed of
triumph
Blaring with the trumpets' sound
The twins would hide their fear in
fervor
For only one would ever know the crown
CHORUS:
What it takes to be a
king
If you're my brother
You would know what's happening
For the
reign
Behind the crucifix he stalked
Such inventive rites of passion
But I was
bred for lust and power
I had such romantic visions
One step ahead
I swung
quickly
As my sword struck his chest he cried
And everything he ever loved
All his
pain
Became mine as he died
CHORUS
The master beckons
I will
follow
It's all been told through
Cards and runes and guillotines
Thinking I
Remember kissing you
Deliver me unto the Father
Deliver me unto the Lord
Wash
me of all my sins so cruel
One of my precious children will one day rule
