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

You're cold

(Each and every day gets colder, no remorse for drowning souls)

But you carry on

(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

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

Cold

(Each and every day gets colder, no remorse for drowning souls)

Carry on

(He is just a king who lost his marbles and his mind)
