For Those About to Drown

The Queen behind the veil is mindless
Depraved and without love and kindness
The song she sings has lost its soul

The King is busy with his plot
Promises of love forgotten
The words are bold but without soul

So a stranger comes to town
With a promise of salvation
For those about to drown

Smile while you carry on
You know that the thrill is gone
You smile until the light goes down
It's the nature of the game
Rising banners on navy skylines

Each and every day gets colder
No remorse for drowning souls
He is just a King who lost his marbles and his mind

The Queen is silent and alone
He built her a prison that he calls home
Dreams at night are crude and cold, as love grows old

The King is gathering all his men
Reverted back to sword from pen
A genius lie but it drowned in cries

So a stranger comes to town
With a promise of salvation
For those about to drown

Smile while you carry on
You know that the thrill is gone
You smile until the light goes down
It's the nature of the game
Rising banners on navy skylines
You're cold but you carry on

Each and every day gets colder
No remorse for drowning souls
He is just a King who lost his marbles and his mind
