Heirs Absent

[Verse 1] Heed the words of the wretched son The king is mad Lackin’ wisdom Throne drenched with blood Dark treachery The fall of angels [Semi-chorus] In the arms of a mad king Heirs absent from throne Injustice reigns at home [Verse 2] At night he howled Into the dark His people wept Part modern art He said “Rejoice! We’ll wander soon” As our daughters swoon Our children cry [Chorus] In the arms of a mad king Heirs absent from throne Injustice reigns On grown knees under The slain blue sky Mad idols scream their faithless cried “His children grow as we Know they’ll die” The earth they graze is now a brief reprieve [Chorus extention] In the arms of a mad king Heirs absent from throne Injustice reigns at home Kill the king! (Solo) [Verse 3] The saints took heed, the prophets spoke, "Rise now, for justice—His yoke is broke!" Through fields of ash, the banners soared, With steel in hand, the faithful roared. [Pre-Chorus] He calls himself divine, yet his throne will break, For the wrath of the righteous is heaven’s quake. [Chorus] In the arms of a mad king, Heirs absent from throne. Injustice reigns, On grown knees under The slain blue sky. Mad idols scream their faithless cries, "His children grow as we Know they’ll die." The earth they graze is now a brief reprieve. The earth they grave is now-- hunt him down! [Outro] The war is won, the crown cast down, The Mad King’s reign turned dust on ground. And through the haze, a hymn resounds, "His kingdom falls, his head on the ground".
