lyrics
The King Is Dead
Ash and rock, smoke and mud
The last grain fell on bloodstained ground
The king is dead, no heir is left
Marauding hordes burnt our house and stole our brute
without sentence
Justice is what falls first in war
We cannot stay here: Flee now!
And make your way to our assembly point
Life told me a tale about a land of strength,
A king of right, a time of peace
But it all collapses in these days of war
A painful truth: Too few survived!
And winters rage will let us starve to death
The anger grows; who's the guilty one?
Once again it's the bravest man who suffers greatest loss
Justice left this dying land
We cannot stay here: Flee now!
The best defense is still a flight to the front
Life told me a tale about a land of strength,
A king of right, a time of peace,
But it all collapses in these days of war
(May the day come, when in the councils of kings and sovereigns
eventual wisdom defeats their greed and cupidity
And may the day come, when the swordsmen conquer their fear
and let a spark of charity for the weak ones fill their hearts)
But we can't wait
Our need's too great
Taken by the courage
Born form our despair
We will now face
Our task
Life told me a tale about a land of strength,
A king of right, a time of peace,
But it all collapses in these days of war – of war!
