THE DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS LYRICS

"The Dreyfus Affair"

Someday futile minds will be sorrowed
As our bodies wash out to sea
Our endeavors will lead us nowhere fast
And weigh down on our beliefs

We exhale like smoke stacks
As our blackened lungs give way
So I’ll beg forgiveness for the true meaning
Of every line I meant to say

Now I’m hanging up my guns
As we severe ties with the world
We’ll forget where we came from

Eyes wide fallen asleep at the wheel
Will my story be revealed
‘Cause they’ve shred the pages to every life I’ve ever led

Why dispute the things you cannot understand
There’s a poison in my body, there is blood on both these hands
The expulsion of my ribcage has condemned me to the grave
And as the hour glass grew slighter there was nothing left to save

It’s been so long since heaven cut me loose
While my angels turned their backs I used their halo’s as a noose
‘Cause my second chance came seconds too late
As if irony is bleeding through each of my worst mistakes

And the vultures will roam
Tearing the flesh from my bones
There’s pity at the bottom of this drink
Another round deeper
I’ll continue to sink to my grave
And after I’m gone will my tale live on?

As each word is twisted I’ll fall from hero to miscreant
With each turning page I’ll advance to hellbound from heaven sent
I’m well versed in karma as my courage lacks in grit
At the end of the day I’ve no pride
Oh what a pale horse I ride

Once my account’s been played For mislead eyes to see
Will they cut the scene with the cliché ride into the sunset
