A notion cold as the night air |
|
Starts within in my head |
|
Spreads like ink right through my veins |
|
All of our kings are dead |
|
I am not a scholar and |
|
I don't believe in fate |
|
Surely as |
|
I share your blood will |
|
I end up the same? |
|
If there's one thing |
|
I have learned |
|
In my short time on this earth |
|
Devotion should be owed not earned |
|
Only you determine what you're worth |
|
We are set free |
|
We are the sons of apathy |
|
Though it's not right |
|
It's all we know |
|
And there's no one left to follow |
|
We are the heirs to empty thrones |
|
And promises un-kept |
|
We sit and watch the empire burn with mild disinterest, |
|
But we are not forsaken, |
|
We have a gift worth more than gold |
|
We've been shown how not to live |
|
By gracious kings of old |
|
If there's one thing |
|
I have learned |
|
In my short time on this earth |
|
Devotion should be owed not earned |
|
Only you determine what you're worth |
|
We are set free |
|
We are the sons of apathy |
|
Though it's not right |
|
It's all we know |
|
And there's no one left to follow |
|
My father was an oak |
|
The earth moved when he spoke |
|
My father conquered seas |
|
But was not there for me. |

But was not there for, |

Was not there for me. |
