Of Once And Future Kings |
All the ladies of court gather round |
And join in in heavenly fair |
You’re gathering promises of future heroes |
Showing faith in a song as we go |
Red light and green light and men in their armor |
And fight for the queen if you dare |
It’s a long way to go to test out your mettle |
Well, a long way to go to go down |
We go round and round |
We go down |
Go down |
Courier says we lost our battle |
There’s 21 left, that’s all |
We were given no quarter because of thy archers |
Leaving us nothing at all |
Tell me what will we do, what will we say |
They’ll be killing us all in a while |
Taking our homes, killing wives and children |
Leaving us nothing at all |
And I’ll write them a letter |
I’ll say, forgive all we’ve done |
But please, first grant this favor, sirs |
Forgive us quick all the wrong |
All the wrong, all the wrong, all the wrong |
Oh, we’re wrong |
All the ladies of court gather round me |
And you’re joining in heavenly fair |
You’re gathering promises of future heroes |
Showing faith in a song as we go |
Oh, red light and green light and men in their armor |
And fight for the queen if you dare |
It’s a long way to go to test out your mettle |
A long way to go to go down, go down |
You better go down, down, down |
You better go down again, my friend |
Oh, you better go down, down, down |
Better go down again, my friend |
(repeat to end) |
