Fistful of Swoon |
The stench of sulfur |
Climbing up the drain |
Open up your chest |
Your heart would smell the same |
You got a lot of nerve |
To find your old man’s word |
Mud on your boots |
You got lust in your veins |
The shriek of sirens |
Singing out of tune |
A dozen black roses |
In a hideous room |
You got a swagger |
You got a fistful of swoon |
Blood on your hands |
Steady that silver spoon |
Though your towers were tall |
And your powers were grand |
You could not understand |
How you fell from great heights |
And you burrowed with speed |
A kingdom you did lead |
From heaven to hell |
Cast from the garden |
With conning the rage |
Biding your time |
Through dark and empty days |
Trade in your cannons |
Your tenants and rules |
For pandemonium |
High capital ruse |
Ashes to ashes |
Dust to dust |
All for not |
If not for all of us |
Mighty king |
You held the reins |
You drove your chariot |
Right down the drain |
Though your towers were tall |
And your powers were grand |
You could not understand |
How you fell from great heights |
And you burrowed with speed |
A kingdom you did lead |
From heaven to hell |
Though your towers were tall |
And your powers were grand |
You could not understand |
How you fell from great heights |
And you burrowed with speed |
A kingdom you did lead |
From heaven to hell |
