The Old King

("Whatever happens") "No battle lost"

("Know you can love me") Growls the old King

("Whatever happens next") "No war un-won"

("Know you can trust me") He spits and he sings

"I wish I'd had the balls

To sell the army off

Pay all my enemies

And just swallow the loss

Whatever happens

Know you can love me"

I listened all night

The drinks were free

But soon his bitter heart

Got wearing on me

"Go all, go one

The night is young

My throat is dry

But I ain't done

No, I ain't done

"The loves of your life

The glass and the wife

One guts you hollow

One twists the knife"

Morning had come

I left him inside

And I ran away with the paling sky

Yeah, I ran away with the paling sky

"I wish I'd only had the balls

To bury the hatchet and forgive em all"

"'Cause now the hours are days

And the days go like months

Whatever happens

You know I love you"
