House of Kings Songtext
von Magnum

Well I mean it when I tell ya
You′ll be broken by the world you carry

Watch the vultures pick your bones and
Burn your house down in forgotten valley

There's a hillside, you won′t climb it
When you're left out - what you doin' here?

Take the long road before midnight
It′s a long way to the next frontier


You stole the moon from the sky
A shadow prince in the house of kings
Now you′ve got nowhere to go
Caught in a wild wind

Stand on a high mountain top
The city lights are a diamond ring
Maybe they'll all turn to glass
Leaving us wondering

There′s no angel on your doorstep
That will save you from the road you travel

Keep it rollin' for a long time
Watch confusion on their face unravel

There′s a poster on a white wall
And you're dressed up like a showroom dummy


But you sit there like a blind man
Pockets empty, you ain′t got no money
