lyrics

I bring another one home
Another one dead and another one stoned
I see another one fall
Another falls down and the others stands tall
Sitting in this mess I made
Rotting in this bold decay

I brace for another decline
My minds made up but my thoughts unwind
I get another one cut
I still sit straight but I can't stand up
How can I take this anymore
My life's been beaten to the core

Off the throne, lost my crown
Kingdoms burning to the ground
Take my rage to the sea
And drink to the creatures that have shaken me

I wait till I break down
No one here hold me now
I sing with broken words
Most of which are never heard

Everything that was mine
I lost in this decline
My sorrow paid in gold
I see why they stood so bold

Off the throne, lost my crown
Kingdoms burning to the ground
Take my cup to the sea
And drink to the people who set me free

Do you hear that sound?
The sound that says defeat
That's making the ending
Of what I'm defending complete
Do you hear that noise?
The noise calling out to you
To put down the gun
Leaving all I have done
To start anew
I do

Now I begin to see a way that I cannot explain
I begin to see the point of it all
Maybe justice struck me down
To take his rightful crown
Maybe it was my time to fall

Bring forth the knife and cut me free
Let me sink into the sand
Let me wait to be cleansed by the raging sea
Let me come out a new man
