The King Has Left The Building

Where have you gone and run to, where have you been I've been doing some hard thinking and I've 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 apart Well I betrayed the world I save The freedom to the ones I left behind And I ain't never going back Empire, don't cry for me anymore Now 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 got I drank the wine, I parted seas and walked the mile I betrayed you all with the promise I'd come back Empire, don't talk to me anymore When dust and ash will be all you are Who will know that I was never really left for you You 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 lost Empire, don't cry for me anymore When dust and ash will be all you are you can let go One 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 me The king that would never Could never, ever Show them all, be salvation --- The King Has Left the Building - Strung Out
