Royal Blood 03:28
In the half-light of dawn you came down from the mountain clothed in suns and you bore the disease of some kind of crooked priest. And those heavy winds shook the bones of the dead and their children and now i know only in light can you see what you've darkened. Unthread your woven arms now and lift the blindfolds from your eyes ya, i know, i guess thats fine. So just spill your royal blood out and put your wedding rings back on. I had a dream that 2 severed hands were rising up to pluck out the stars and i will admit i'm not too sure what to think of it. Maybe when i die i'll forget about it. Ya, maybe when i die thats when i'll sleep the safest. Oh! I don't really wanna stay here. I don't really wanna climb these hills alone. I don't really wanna sharpen all your swords and i don't really wanna carry your anchors home. I don't really wanna stay here. I don't really wanna climb these hills alone. I don't really wanna sharpen all your swords and i don't really wanna live where no trees have grown. Unthread your woven arms now and lift the blindfolds from your eyes Ya, I know, i guess that’s fine. So just spill your royal blood out and put your wedding rings back on.

In the light of the sun I can see where you are. I can see all the drums that you beat in the dark. And I can see all the smoke that you have in your lungs Coming out of the mouth where your song is sung. It’s the best time of year to be here I am told. And I can hear every word that you say better than anyone. I built you a house on a mountain peak And I will out your nails, I’ll make your structure weak. I’m coming home, to the only place that I know. So put down your bow, and all your arrows.
