lyrics

One summer night
In fields lush
The King in white
Comes in a rush from the battle
Waving his banner
Thinking of all that it's cost

You've moved your piece
You've won the bout
The cameras flash
The court comes out of the shadows
Dreaming of gold
Heartbreak so flippantly tossed

No one thinking of all that you've lost

But I'll
Protect you when you stand alone
I'll hold the line when you're hiding from your broken throne
I'll be your brother and stand by your side
Won't let you bow to the will of the atavistic tide

I will be there

The hungry horde
She must be fed
Would sign your checks
And have your head on a platter
It doesn't matter as long as you're wearing her crown

A hundred smiles
3000 teeth
She'll lift you up
Or drag you beneath the water
Holding you under to see if you swim or you drown

They won't notice they're tearing you down

But I'll protect you when you stand alone
I'll hold the line when you're hiding from your broken throne
I'll be your brother and stand by your side
Won't let you bow to the will of the atavistic tide

I'll try to convince them that it's not a game
I'll blow out each candle before there's a flame
I'll hide in the darkness and forsake my name
But nothing is ever the same

But I'll protect you when you stand alone
I don't know what comes next but you're not on your own
I'll be your brother and stand by your side
Won't let you bow to the will of the atavistic tide

I will protect you when you stand alone
I'll hold the line when you're hiding from your broken throne
I'll be your brother and stand by your side
Won't let you bow to the will of the atavistic tide

I will be there
I will be there
I will be there...
