Lyrics

The throne of time
Is a kingly, a kingly thing
From whence, you know
We all do begin
And dressed as you are, girl
In your fashions
Of fate baby, it's too late
Shallow are the actions
Of the children of the men
Fogged was their vision
Since the ages began
And lost like a lion
In the canyons of smoke
But it's no joke, oh, no
It's no joke, oh, no
Shallow of the actions
Of the children
Of the men
But it's no joke, oh, no, oh, no
The throne of time
Is a kingly, a kingly thing
From whence, you know
We all do begin
And dressed as you are, girl
In your fashions of fate
But it's too late
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
But it's too late
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
