American Crucifixion Resurrection The Four Seasons

[Intro]
The king is dead
Long live the king
The king is dead
Long live the king

[Verse 1]
Unbound slaves stand outside the gate
With lengths of broken chain they wait
Empty stomachs filled with hate

[Pre-Chorus]
No one told the heads of state
The prince of peace is sleeping late

[Chorus]
Who will wait on the lords and ladies
Who will cry when they lose their crowns?
Sleeping through the years of error
Waking in a reign of terror

[Verse 2]
Sleep, white baby sleep
Will you ever understand?
Once had a boy just like you
Once had my own to sing my troubles to
Once had a boy, I watched him grow
Once had my own, Lord I loved him so
