Lyrics King and Cross - Ásgeir

King and Cross

Glistening nighttime dew, and she is walking with me
From the house of red, I hear a child crying
Foxes heading home, their prey hangs from their jaws
And the forest knows, but it won’t share the secret
When the king takes sides
Leaving moral minds;
soldiers take their share
Nighthawks seem to sense that now is the time
Deep inside them burns the raging fire of life
He’ll take back what he owns
Death cannot take hold, if I can keep momentum
Fortresses of stone, turn into crystal tears
Soothed by southern winds;
I’ve found my strength now
And nobody knows, and we must keep their secret
When the king takes sides
Leaving moral minds;
soldiers take their share
Nighthawks seem to sense that now is the time
Deep inside them burns the raging fire of life
He’ll take back what he owns
When the king takes sides
Leaving moral minds;
soldiers take their share
Nighthawks seem to sense that now is the time
Deep inside them burns the raging fire of life
He’ll take back what he owns
