King Under the Mountain Lyrics

One night I woke up thinking we had never met
Odds are that everything is right where it was left
Remember memories and foggy silhouettes
After all I must forget
What it takes to sway these demons far away
What it means to be okay
The wind is shy beneath the clouds
Far from the highest heaven's brow
And now it whistles between anger and a breeze
It must be grimacing at me
For all the things I've done to try to fly away
What is it here that makes you stay?
And when the trumpets fade away
The hand of God is slow to ease the pain
We only live to die some other day
I meant not what I said, my promises were vain

You say I'm trying to die
We're little more than dust attaching meaning to our lives
And everybody's just the shape they choose to make
Being the moon was your mistake
But now an ocean reaches up onto the shore
As it always has before
And when the trumpets fade away
The hand of God is slow to ease the pain
We only live to die some other day
I meant not what I said, my promises were vain
The saddest day the strength of men gave way
You toil in your greed, you bring your people shame
We only live to lie some other way
I meant not what I said, my promises were vain
