Kings and Castles

So back to the street's I descend from the ashes To a victorious parade and marble mansions I ascend upon my throne Of Gothic Cathedral's where head's stand impaled And all one smell's is death and stale So back to the street's Back to black Back to all out siege and attack Back behind the wall's Back to the Castle Back to the King Back under the influence of the west wing Back to the matter's of wealth and land Back to political stealthy slight of hand Back to bribe Back to feeling alive Back to weapon's And the dog's of war So back to God Back to religion One step forward One giant step back Welcome inside the power trap Welcome to the Pleasure-dome
