Kings and Queens Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Into the night
Desperate and broken
The sound of a fight
Father has spoken
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser God
Between heaven and hell
Heaven and hell
[Verse 2]
Into your eyes
Hopeless and taken
We stole our new lives
Through blood and name
In defense of our dreams
In defense of our dreams (Dreams, dreams)
[Chorus]
We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser God
Between heaven and hell
Heaven and hell (Heaven and hell)
[Bridge]
The age of man is over
A darkness comes at dawn
These lessons that we've learned here
Have only just begun
[Chorus]
We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser God
Between heaven and hell
[Breakdown]
We are the kings
We are the queens
We are the kings
We are the queens
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
