The Ballad of the Crimson Kings |
| They’re this band called the Crimson Kings |
| Come from a-Carolina, Tennessee |
| Make our stand across wild strings |
| Old dreadnoughts and drop-down D’s |
| Our roots run deep, true and tough |
| As the tree of life mandolin |
| We don’t flinch, oh and we don’t bluff |
| For our hearts have been kissed by every wind |
| There are some who can arise above my fate |
| Others just can’t seem to pray |
| Then there are those that are condemned by the gods to write |
| They sparkle and they fade away |
| Now we’ll run, we’re the reckless kind |
| But we have not turned our backs on the savior choir |
| See each life, all center-twined |
| So we’ve come together for the wheels on fire |
| Now some don’t know that they are blessed |
| Perhaps this is what gives us our means |
| Well I might be wrong, oh, nevertheless |
| Sweet mother of pearl, say a prayer for a Crimson King |
| There are some who can arise above my fate |
| Others just can’t seem to pray |
| Then there are those that are condemned by the gods to write |
| They sparkle and they fade away |
| There are some who can arise above my fate |
| Others just can’t seem to pray |
| Then there are those that are condemned by the gods to write |
| They sparkle and they fade away |
| Sparkle and they fade away |
| Sparkle and they fade away |
