the king is dead
the king is dead, his guard is down.
at my feet, his shattered crown.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
without the king they must be gone.
thy kingdom come, what can’t be done.
on Earth as it is in hell
some see blue, others are blind
and vice versa
restless souls waiting east
for a prayer that won’t ever come.
Heaven is fallen, as have I
the all seeing one is late tonight
bless me, father. thank your men
for what cannot be done again.
Heavenly king, prince of pax
grant us peace in your last.
nothing else not Heaven nor Earth can save me now.
the king is (not) dead, the king is dead..
the king is dead
the king is dead
