THE DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS LYRICS

"Dead Ends"

We sought life amidst the dead
And came out with empty hands
Though we offered up our still beating hearts
We were all too well mislead
We’ll remember the times we never had

As each warning sign was found
They collected in the rear view
We were suddenly hell bound
As my fears had slowly come true

Hanging sixty feet above broken glass - Cut me loose

I followed her track marks
Into the heart of the beast
Oh what a dead end road stood before me
The cancer was guarding the keep

While countless cracks defaced your skin
We counted breaths to live again

Breathe slowly the worst’s yet to come
As the preacher losses faith

And all my skeletons I buried some time ago
Came back to haunt me and take you below
And all this time I thought we’d both find our way home

‘Cause such beliefs can lead you further from yourself
As we traded lives between my heaven and your hell

Keeping you warm
I’ll be unstoppable now
Careless disaster and careful dismay
Cutting the chord to let you slip away

Under every flawless reign
There lies something to be questioned
Will we live to fight again
Or has fate taught us another lesson
These illusions grow and grow

We grew cold with every crossroads
We were headed nowhere fast
As we severed ties running opposite ways
I found traces of home - you were lead to a shallow grave

When we disconnect
When the traitors are found
Will I be as lifeless then
As you are now

As I watched the life within your veins
Slip through your track marks and drift away
There was nothing I could do
And even less that I could say
Can you hear me now?

And this slow demiseIt is one for the books
But I’d bring you back from the dead if I could

As our bones untangled you fell apart
As each vessel stopped it’s flow to your frail heart
We went out with torn skin and named each of our scares
Well some wounds aren’t meant to heal but mine fucking are
