Kings and Queens lyrics

Long ago in days untold

Were ruled by lords of greed

Maidens fared with gold they dared

To bare their wombs that bleed

Kings and queens and guillotines

Taking lives denied

Starch and parchment laid the laws

When bishops took the ride

Only to deceive

Oh I know I

Lived this life afore

Somehow I know now

Truths I must be sure

Tossin', turnin', nightmares burnin'

Dreams of swords in hand

Sailing ships, the Viking spits

The blood of father's land

Only to deceive

Living times of knights and mares

Raising swords for maidens' fair

Sneer at death, fear only loss of pride

Living other centuries

Déja vu or what you please

Follows true to all who do or die

Screams of no reply

They died

Screams of no reply

And died

Died

Lordy, Lordy, they died

Live and do or die

Oh they died

Live and no reply

Oh they died
