Lyrics
Did it hurt when they dragged you from hell
A quick scoff then remarks of the smell
Rotting flesh as it burned from stiff limbs
Or the ashen air that once composed your skin
Wretched men rule the earth from afar
You’re high amongst their ranks, a wolf who sleeps upon the hearth
And they feed you with the bones of all the peasants worked too hard
Yes it’s the culling of the few to scare the many who would march
I wanna believe you might soon come down
from the castle on the hill you built of stone
Without all these walls you would soon end up
just another bloated carcass on these shores
Has our death
Quenched your thirst?
Are you full?
Now our lands are stripped of life
Will you just take your pack and go?
You’ve surly overstayed your welcome
If you’ve the gall to answer, “No”
We’ve fashioned axes of our own
And we’ll be aiming for the throat
I wanna believe you might soon come down
from the castle on the hill you built of stone
Without all these walls you would soon end up
just another bloated carcass on these shores
A people filled with disdain
So ends a violent reign
Your halls echo with your pain
Impaled and put on display
Your crimson draining for days
An end that’s fit for a king
I’d like believe you might soon come down
from the castle on the hill you built of stone
Without all the walls you would soon end up
just another bloated carcass on these shores
I wanna believe you might soon come down
from the castle on the hill you built of stone
Without all these walls you would soon end up
just another bloated carcass on these shores
I’d like to believe
Hell, I could believe
