Feb 2016
dancing in the light of the sun
for their worries are wearing thin
they have all the time on their hands
as locked doors become unhinged

wandering carelessly
wandering blind
questioning words of stone
their pride fell with their fortunes
their kingdom fell
they torment the tides that rise
'cause they're alone

they sit upon their thrones of fire
their heats beating for desire
heightened up
they're looking down
uneasy lies the head that wears a crown

their quivering bones
they tremble and shake
like a boat on a wave
those hard-faced kings
they begin to decay
as their statues begin to break

they can't escape their demons
'cause they are from within
they can't escape their sorrows
for their have sank too deep

they sit upon their thrones of fire
their heats beating for desire
heightened up
they're looking down
uneasy lies the head that wears a crown
