King (P O R T A L S)

You died within me

The boatmen came to sail me down the river

Bind me up with visions of a blind man

I operate this way

You turn nothing into gold

Death on such an ugly day

Oh, oh, you dine like a king on top of the world

You show us all

That forgiveness is the weakest call

And now revenge

Against that grudge inside your tiny head

Remove the crown of absolution

Let the retribution fly

The king has all

The king has all

But words can kill and maim and take their toll

And you massacre my dreams at night

And eat away at every thought

Until we take control

The king has all, totalitarian and carnivore

Bow down, submit to me and kiss the ground

Until it's safe to breathe and coexist again

Bow down, submit to me and kiss the ground

Until it's safe to live and coexist again

They're taking away the freedom to be just you, you

They're taking away the freedom to be just you, you

They're taking away the freedom to be just you, you

They're taking away the freedom to be just you

But the sun always shines for you

They're taking away the freedom to be just you

I operate this way

You'd kill to find me

But the crown above my head is deadly

I operate this way
