"Sad King" lyrics
Your crown lies cold beside the door
The velvet throne remembers more
You count the names you couldn't save
And wear their silence like a grave
You tell the room that you don't break
But I can hear your hands still shake
Sad king, lay your armor down, no one needs you wearin' that crown
I'll stay beside you through the fall, you don't have to rule it all
Sad king, let the kingdom sleep, give the hurt you hide to me
When every banner hits the ground, I'll be here
When you come
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down)
When you come
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down)
The banquet hall is dark and still
Your glass untouched upon the sill
You kept a piece by losing you
Now, tell me what you wanna do
You tell the room that you don't break
But I can hear your hands still shake
Sad king, lay your armor down, no one needs you wearin' that crown
I'll stay beside you through the fall, you don't have to rule it all
Sad king, let the kingdom sleep, give the hurt you hide to me
When every banner hits the ground, I'll be here
When you come
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down)
When you come
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down)
No oath, no throne, no borrowed name
Can't make you less than who you are
Come out from underneath the weight
You were a person from the start
Sad king, lay your armor down, no one needs you wearin' that crown
I'll stay beside you through the fall, you don't have to rule it all
Sad king, let the kingdom sleep, give the hurt you hide to me
When every banner hits the ground, I'll be here
When you come
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down)
When you come down, I'll be here
The velvet throne remembers more
You count the names you couldn't save
And wear their silence like a grave
You tell the room that you don't break
But I can hear your hands still shake
Sad king, lay your armor down, no one needs you wearin' that crown
I'll stay beside you through the fall, you don't have to rule it all
Sad king, let the kingdom sleep, give the hurt you hide to me
When every banner hits the ground, I'll be here
When you come
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down)
When you come
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down)
The banquet hall is dark and still
Your glass untouched upon the sill
You kept a piece by losing you
Now, tell me what you wanna do
You tell the room that you don't break
But I can hear your hands still shake
Sad king, lay your armor down, no one needs you wearin' that crown
I'll stay beside you through the fall, you don't have to rule it all
Sad king, let the kingdom sleep, give the hurt you hide to me
When every banner hits the ground, I'll be here
When you come
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down)
When you come
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down)
No oath, no throne, no borrowed name
Can't make you less than who you are
Come out from underneath the weight
You were a person from the start
Sad king, lay your armor down, no one needs you wearin' that crown
I'll stay beside you through the fall, you don't have to rule it all
Sad king, let the kingdom sleep, give the hurt you hide to me
When every banner hits the ground, I'll be here
When you come
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down)
When you come down, I'll be here
