Age of Kings The Mountain Goats

[Verse 1]
Halls of the stone tower in the foothills
Why should we hide from anyone?
Held you in my arms for the first time that day
Felt like God's anointed when you didn't push me away

[Chorus]
Gold light shining on so many things
In the age of kings
Gold light shining on so many things
In the age of kings

[Verse 2]
Lean on the concrete walls in shadow
Why should we wait to throw the switch?
Felt your name burn in, like a tattoo into my skin
Rain on the clay tiles all night, your head nestled beneath my chin

[Chorus]
Gold light shining on so many things
In the age of kings
Gold light shining on so many things
In the age of kings

[Bridge]
In the lost age
Where the jewels hide
And the sword sticks
In the waiting stone
Still warm
