Lay Down Your Kingdom |
The truest heart will not be tempted |
With bright silver or shining gold |
For all your wealth she’d not speak falsely |
And all your power cannot hold |
Lay down your kingdom lay down |
Lay down your kingdom lay down |
Her face is fair to those who know her |
The rest are blind, they cannot see |
And in her eyes you see forever |
Endless joy and misery |
Lay down your kingdom lay down |
Lay down your kingdom lay down |
Some men gamble for their pleasure |
Some men gamble for their greed |
I will gamble for her favor |
I will gamble out of need |
Lay down your kingdom lay down |
Lay down your kingdom lay down |
Here’s to our Lady of Good Fortune |
Deliver me from an evil hand |
Here’s to the one who plays against me |
Be he spirit or be he man |
Lay down your kingdom lay down |
Lay down your kingdom lay down |
Lay down your kingdom lay down |
Lay down your kingdom lay down |
