The King Has Left the Building Lyrics

Where have you gone and run to, where have you been
Ive been doing some hard thinking and ive been growing thin
Well I've slept in stalls and alleyways and broken princess hearts
Assassinating kings on Christmas day, I watch the world fall apartWell I betrayed the world I save
The freedom to the ones I left behind
And I aint never going back
Empire, don't cry for me anymoreNow who have you gone and become, who are you now
Cause the home you left so easily is a memory now
I'm a stranger you have always known and never will forget
I'm the trigger on your trigger finger
I'm the only ride you gotI drank the wine, I parted seas and walked the mile
I betrayed you all with the promise I'd come back
Empire, dont talk to me anymore
When dust and ash will be all you are
Who will know that I was never really left for youYou hold me in your hearts
As you raise hell in my name
Dissect me, tear me apart
For all you know of me

All you know are names
All you know is pain
All you know is what you lostEmpire, dont cry for me anymore
When dust and ash will be all you are you can let goOne thousand armies, one grain of sand
One whispered prayer, wanna lend a hand
In black hawk fields of gold
When people shatter history
When people quiet the faith in meThe king that would never
Could never, ever
Show them all, be salvation
