As the blood flows from between your teeth,
Your eyes recoil from the thing they've seen,
Your feet take root and your body goes stiff,
Now you fall into a pile on the broken cement.
And your mirror image brother can't stop screaming your name,
He knows you saw something and he's slapping your face.
We two got down the street to do what we could,
Tried to hold up your head, "Just wake up!"
But you were hissing and moaning, Oh God you looked lonely.
Take all your fury and throw it into the wind.
Your fire's burning but it's waning,
You were barely just born and you'll soon be dead.
Quick! Tear your kingdom down, you've built it on another's field.
He is a ruthless man, he'll let you build before he steals.
You will never know you weren't a king
Until your limbs are firmly fastened in their chains.
What did you see? I think I know.
You can't keep living in shadows
And not belong to the darkness.
Take all your fury and give it all to the King.
Our time is ending, war is coming,
And we're all choosing sides.
We're gonna bow either way.
