Flower Kings Numbers


Tripping the world imperial (Look inside her) Leaving the world material (Can't hide her) Tripping the world imperial (Look inside her) Leaving the world material (Can't hide her)

Look At the riverbanks She's looking Behind you The black clouds They fall hard and heavy As Eden Astounds you

So hail to those who give their lives Who don't stand back when evil rises It's not a matter of king or country

So you think it is over Do you think it is really over?

Look up that skyline There's a bad moon rising You may not like it But that's the lizard you're riding

The smiles and suits on TV news, they feed us all But she's the greatest of liars The stupid bird who dares to speak the naked truth Soon lies flat on the wire

So hail to those who give their lives Who don't stand back when evil rises It's not a matter of king or country

So you think it is over Do you think it is really over?

Look up that skyline There's a bad moon rising You may not like it But that's the lizard you're riding The lizard you're riding

We're all just the same old sinner Fighting for a piece of nothing Same mistakes go round again (same stupid men) Covering up his bloody trail Cain he came back emptyhanded With no father blessing and no holy grail

Look around you Take it in before your day is done When I found you I was cold and all my loving gone Life inside you Like a spiral sending lifelines from the ground Whe I found her She was cold, still in her wedding gown Look inside her And now she's gone so bring the darkness down She brought the darkness down Down down down Down down down Down down down Down down down

Tripping the world imperial Leaving the world material Tripping the world imperial Leaving the world material

Trees surround you They say your body is the garden of your soul Lights will blind you And all these roads they say they lead to Rome Eyes have found her But you say you're better off alone Plead forgiveness for a soul that's bad beyond the bone

There's truth in numbers There's truth in scales There's truth in science And truth in sales

And when the sweetness Comes to an end You try to bargain To live again

There's truth in progress There's truth in fame There's truth in healing And the truth remains

And when the sweetness Comes to an end You try to bargain To live again

You look around for the brightest minds Or just a few simple words of kindness A world gone shallow, cold, and mean It's like a wasteland void of dreams Hoping and praying that we'll find our way back home

There's truth in progress There's truth in fame There's truth in healing And the truth remains

And when the sweetness Comes to an end You try to bargain To live again

You look around for the brightest minds Or just a few simple words of kindness Hoping and praying that we'll find our way back home That we'll find our way back home We'll find our way back home

And then the numbers may not come up right And the artifacts are more than frightening Between the Bible and eternal question There's an ocean of fear and we're sinking faster

And then the numbers may not come up right And the artifacts are more than frightening Between the Bible and eternal question There's an ocean of fear and we're sinking faster

And then the numbers may not come up right And the artifacts are more than frightening Between the Bible and eternal question There's an ocean of fear and we're sinking faster

Look up that skyline There's a bad moon rising You may not like it But that's the lizard you're riding

Look up that skyline There's a bad moon rising You may not like it But that's the lizard you're riding
