lyrics

Bone dry, the Earth has died
Your soul is lost , you've lost your mind
And you've lost the love for life you had
In those long lost days that flowed like sand
Oh, so fast through the hourglass
Ah, how the time has passed
But you, you're forgotten and entombed
Like a king under a car park

You played the game, you rolled the dice
Moved the pieces, sacrificed
The lives of pawns and questing knights
Across the board you felt your eyes locked
Hard fast to your nemesis
Felt deep cathartic bliss
As you pit your eager wit
Against a mirror and a monster

Now daggers drawn and axes high
The shrieks of soldiers split the sky
And your arrogance forces your hand
As you realize your reckless plan has caught
You in the grasp of your enemies
Who cut you down and rewrite histories to read
"He's a killer, he's a king he's a cripple he's a hunchback"
