Lyrics House of Kings - Magnum

House of Kings

Well I mean it when I tell ya
You’ll be broken by the world you carry
Watch the vultures pick your bones and
Burn your house down in forgotten valley
There’s a hillside, you won’t climb it
When you’re left out — what you doin' here?
Take the long road before midnight
It’s a long way to the next frontier
You stole the moon from the sky
A shadow prince in the house of kings
Now you’ve got nowhere to go
Caught in a wild wind
Stand on a high mountain top
The city lights are a diamond ring
Maybe they’ll all turn to glass
Leaving us wondering
There’s no angel on your doorstep
That will save you from the road you travel
Keep it rollin' for a long time
Watch confusion on their face unravel
There’s a poster on a white wall
And you’re dressed up like a showroom dummy
But you sit there like a blind man
Pockets empty, you ain’t got no money
You stole the moon from the sky
A shadow prince in the house of kings
Now you’ve got nowhere to go
Caught in a wild wind
Stand on a high mountain top
The city lights are a diamond ring
Maybe they’ll all turn to glass
Leaving us wondering
You stole the moon from the sky
A shadow prince in the house of kings
Now you’ve got nowhere to go
Caught in a wild wind
Stand on a high mountain top
The city lights are a diamond ring
Maybe they’ll all turn to glass
Leaving us wondering
You stole the moon from the sky
A shadow prince in the house of kings
Now you’ve got nowhere to go
Caught in a wild wind
Stand on a high mountain top
The city lights are a diamond ring
Maybe they’ll all turn to glass
Leaving us wondering
