Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Son of Henry, I'm the first in line
To the throne, I smell of mustard gas
I slash sword through your wooden spine
Well, it touched my heart and it blows my head
We made love at the side of the road
Reflex, you better know this flow fast
This river is particularly sinister
Close your eyes and take my hand
[Verse 2]
I want to scream
One last death medley
I am lookin' for
A reason to secure a forward motion
Love that golden rule
That golden rule
Need that golden rule
That golden rule
Secrets are the truth
They are the truth
We need that silver rule
That silver rule
[Verse 3]
I'm face to face with the ball and chain
I'll poke my head up until it's red
I tell my secrets and you took my pain
About a broken heart and I will do it again
Son of Henry, I'm the first in line
To the throne, I smell of mustard gas
I slash sword through your wooden spine
Well, it touched my heart and it blows my head
[Verse 4]
I want to scream
One last death medley
I, I'm lookin' for
A reason to secure a forward motion
Love that golden rule
That golden rule
Need that golden rule
That golden rule
Secrets are the truth
They are the truth
We need that silver rule
That silver rule
