The Death of the King

from The Death of the King EP by Josh Belville

/

about

written and recorded in 2008

lyrics

down by the water
under a crimson sky
self-deprecating
alone and covered in lye

i thrash, silhouetted
moaning a curse so vile
flesh separating
my ghost will be here a while

o how the world
looks so pretty here
fortress ablaze
cowered in fear

they sing to the moonlight
make love till the dawn
rebels be praised
and i, unwitting pawn

ohhhhh

my armor is melting
my eyes see no light
stumbling forward
i cannot give up the fight

a tyrant they called me
who ruled with an iron fist
but i gave my word
still they insist

oohhhhh

and here i die
alone in the meadow
these curses i cry
will fall to your feet
and grow

so beware
beware!

short inst

revolution!

we raise our spades
to his end of days
the lake shall be his grave

rebuilt in peace
we gather the pieces
and send him off to the waves

repeat ad nauseum
