Midnight,
At the school
‘Hind the bleachers
There’s gonna be a rumble
The lions and the kings
And my baby, she cries
In her bed and she worries
And my baby, she prays
God save the kings!
Promise me you won’t do anything crazy
I promise you I won’t do anyting, baby
Promise me
I promise you nothing!
We’re outcasts only cuz we choose to dream
We’re princes who’d rather dine with thieves
We’re honest only cuz the truth, it cannot hide
God save us, the foolish kings
Midnight,
At the school
Behind the bleachers [hey baby, lets go lets go]
There’s gonna be a rumble
But the cops won’t be notified [whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa]
So the lions bear their arms
But the kings gonna break the hearts of their babies tonight
We’re desprate only cuz we’ve none to lose
We’re lions missing half our teeth
We’re honest only cuz the truth, it cannot hide
God save us, the foolish kings
God save us, the foolish kings
And we fight cuz
We’d rather break our bones
Than brave this loneliness
We draw blood cuz
We’re just trying to draw out some significance
But I met God on the street tonight
And he said,
“Choose your battles wisely
Or you’ll never find Me”
Promise me you won’t do anything crazy
Promise me
I promise you
I promise you one thing!
We’re devils try’n to earn our angels wings
We stumble at every turn indeed
We’re desperate chasing down the love to just survive
God save us, the foolish kings [promise me you won't do anything crazy]
God save us, the foolish kings [promise me, promise me]
God save us,
God save us, the foolish kings!
‘O boy’ he said to me
‘I see your future’
‘Though you long for peace
The sword is your father
I’m thinking of you
I’m thinking of you when I kill a good man
To keep myself from being killed by him
I’m thinking of you
I’m thinking of you when I hold my girl
And wonder if she’ll ever love again
I’m thinking of you
Wash the blood off my hands
Bathed in the powder of a thousand guns
I am the king of sorrows
Watered by the tears of the innocent ones
The river grows
It moves
It swells
‘Son’ It calls to me
‘Your days are numbered
Sow the seeds you will
But I am the reaper’
‘I’m thinking of you
I’m thinking of you when you kill a good man
To keep yourself from being killed by him
I’m thinking of you
I’m thinking of you when you hold your girl
And wonder if she’ll ever love again
I’m thinking of you
Wash the blood off your hands’
I howled at the moon like a wolf in the night
You want to finish it
We’re gonna finish it right
And then I felt it with a chill up my spine
There are no words to use that truly describe
The glory of the angel or the terror in me
Tonight will be my ending or tonight my new beginning
All through the night
I wrestled the angel
To undo the curse
That’s burdened me all of my life
And for the first time I could see
That God was not my enemy
“I’m thinking of you”
Like pieces of the sun
Our light burns on and on and on
Like stars in the night sky we shine
I’m living to shine on
