We Were The Kings​.​.​.

from Bronze by Red Ankh

lyrics

The cogs came, and they made, their selves known to us in such a way
That stunned and struck us with great awe
The Imp King has made clear that he wishes to destroy it all
And that he surely can do it

What a shame, what a scam, the cogs grew up from right behind us
We could have just turned turned on our heels
Universe has betrayed her self in so harmful of a way
Like we once did so long ago

And there will be blood to pay
For the betrayal on this day
We were the kings
We were the kings

Blood to pay
For the betrayal on this day
We were the kings
We were the kings

They destroy every thing every moment that they come to touch
Slowly they eat away our past
Most hope lost, then again, we have not had a reason to hope
Since time that has been erased now

We fight through the damn Frame, since the Imp King is not bound by time
My friends, we fight for Universe
In the end it will be not a thing save for perfect glory
My friends, we fight for existence


And there will be blood to pay
For the betrayal on this day
We were the kings
We were the kings

Blood to pay
For the betrayal on this day
We were the kings
We were the kings

If we lose out to these machines
We will die smiling
Though there is a chance for us still
We can erase his memories too

And though he has destroyed us in the past
We grow stronger by the moment

This is just what we need
To stimulate our dull minds
This is just what we need to bring our selves to life

This is just what we need
One last great adventure
This is just what we need to bring universe back to life

And there will be blood to pay
For the betrayal on this day
We were the kings
We were the kings

Blood to pay
For the betrayal on this day
We were the kings
We were the kings

And there will be blood to pay
For the betrayal on this day
We were the kings
We were the kings

The Imp King will know
That this is our home
We were the kings
We were the kings
