A Farewell to Kings (5.1 mix video) Songtext
von Rush

When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow?
We turned our gaze from the castles in the distance
Eyes cast down on the path of least resistance

Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise


The hypocrites are slandering the sacred halls of truth
Ancient nobles showering their bitterness on youth
Can′t we find the minds that made us strong?
Oh, can't we learn to feel what′s right and what's wrong?
What's wrong?

Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise

Oh, can′t we raise our eyes and make a start?
Can′t we find the minds to lead us closer to the heart?
