Red ink stains the velvet floor
I don't want to fight no more
Heavy bells begin to chime
I am running out of time
Kneel before the velvet throne
Build a kingdom on my own
Heavy is the golden ring
Listen to the shepherd sing
Iron gates and salted earth
Tell me what a soul is worth
Silver coins in every hand
Ruling over hollow land
White fur stained with berry juice
Tighten up the braided noose
Holy water in a bowl
Pay the price to keep control
Kneel before the velvet throne
Build a kingdom on my own
Heavy is the golden ring
Listen to the shepherd sing
Low lights glow in purple haze
Lost inside a floral maze
Bowing low to hide the fear
Only death is standing near
Saffron robes and incense smoke
Heavy as a winter cloak
Counting all the sheep I keep
While the tired gods all sleep
Kneel before the velvet throne
Build a kingdom on my own
Heavy is the golden ring
Listen to the shepherd sing
Crown of wool, crown of gold.
The story is finally told.
