Strung Out - The King Has Left The Building lyrics

Where have you gone and run to, where have you been

Ive been doing some hard thinking and I've been growing thin

Well I've slept in stalls and alleyways and broken princess hearts

Assassinating kings on Christmas day, I watch the world fall apart

Well I betrayed the world I save

The freedom to the ones I left behind

And I ain't never going back

Empire, don't cry for me anymore

Now who have you gone and become, who are you now

Cause the home you left so easily is a memory now

I'm a stranger you have always known and never will forget

I'm the trigger on your trigger finger

I'm the only ride you got

I drank the wine, I parted seas and walked the mile

I betrayed you all with the promise I'd come back

Empire, don't talk to me anymore

When dust and ash will be all you are

Who will know that I was never really left for you

You hold me in your hearts

As you raise hell in my name

Forsake me, tear me apart

For all you know of me

All you know is pain

All you know is what you lost

Empire, don't cry for me anymore

When dust and ash will be all you are you can let go

One thousand honors, one grain of sand

One whispered grail, wanna lend a hand

In black hawk fields of gold

When people shatter history

When people quiet the faith in me

The king that would never

Could never, ever

Show them all, be salvation
