lyrics

No Longer the King


Same as it always was
Shield upon shield
Swords held high
The smile lies

Will we be able to brave
Valleys of fear
Fields of hurt
Dry demons tears

But I will stay
Longer than I need
Go down on my knees
If it pleases the places I’ve run from
Be free

I do my best to find
Glasses half full
Float with sun rise
Hold on in the night

We’d be better off to find
No shelter from the storm
Be swept to a distant shore
With nothing familiar
And nothing left to control

My horses run
When high tide blocks the sun
And the moon bathes light
Into places I can no longer hide

This won’t be
Something of my past
I can try
I can make it last
No longer the king crowned
For setting all love free
