You died within me The boatmen came to sail me down the river Bind me up with visions of a blind man I operate this way Turn nothing into gold Death on such an ugly day You dine like a king on top of the world You show us all That forgiveness is the weakest call And now revenge Against that grudge inside your tiny head Remove the crown of absolution Let the retribution fly The king has all the king has all But words can kill and maim and take their toll And you massacre my dreams at night And eat away at every thought Until we take control The king has all totalitarian and carnivore Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground Until it’s safe to breathe and coexist again Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground Until it’s safe to live and coexist again They’re taking away the freedom to be just you They’re taking away the freedom to be just you They’re taking away the freedom to be just you They’re taking away the freedom to be just you But the sun always shines for you They’re taking away the freedom to be just you You’d kill to find me But the crown above my head is deadly They’re taking away the freedom to be just you They’re taking away the freedom to be just you
