lyrics

9) Royalty

Lynch mob going after the sun
Hunt of love, but it's just begun
Warm blood of the wounded sun
Oh yes, she's the one

Cold killer in the afternoon
Her blood's shining on the moon
The Lion's eyes are gripped with fear
As the lady sings that spring is near

Will you let her under your skin
Will you let the murders begin?

Royalty, divided nation
Unguided exploration
Liberty, uncertainty
Cultured hypocrisy
Televised autonomy
Electrified supremacy
Queen destruction, close your eyes
Green instruction, hypnotize

All forgotten will return
In the future from the past, we will burn

Wasteland evolution
Imperial delusion
Opinionated constitution

The circus guide will entertain
Their racial war - an endless chain
The system's whore is greeted with green
She wears the crown, but has never been seen
Slip inside the American Queen
Run away with the American Dream

We'll wonder through the dessert
Into our dreams
We'll fly through the night
And its uncertainty
We'll see the snakes alongside of us
Won't win this love without trust
We'll fight the sun from coming down on us
We'll beg the moon to dance through us

Love holds the strangest fear
Without hate we'd have never have made it here
Adore the moon
Adore our moon

Wasteland evolution
Imperial delusion
The stage is set for revolution
