Testo King of Loss - Pain of Salvation
Testo della canzone King of Loss (Pain of Salvation), tratta dall'album The Perfect Element, Pt. 1 (Anniversary Mix 2020)
Mother
At my first breath
Every paragraph was set
As I inhale the scent of debt
Mother
The first stolen air
Taken as I only could sign
On papers saying I'm not mine
We crown you the king of loss
Better get on your feet, best be one of us
Better get yourself on the list for success
Dress up as a state investment, charm the press
A breed from the seed of only one short breath
(Mother)
Mother (mama, mama, mama)
Hence we cry
We cry
Some of us are free to stand
Most of us are bound to lie
In those (in those, in those, in those)
Bloodstained beds
No one can afford to pay
The prices on their babies' heads
I am the king of loss
For every dear smile I feel I'm not one of us
An ivory coin for every plus on your stone
One more governmental blade
Now drawn from its private sheath
Quite a bargain I'd say since either way
You will live by the show of our teeth
Mother
I wish that we could talk
You see
I'm not fit to play this game
I'm bound by its rules just the same
Just, just the same
My talents
Are turned to talons
For every monetary pile
Will buy me a precious smile
A smile, a smile
So smile for the king of loss
Feed from the juices bleeding from this cross
Then tell me our lives mean more than this vain thirst
A governmental blade
Now drawn from its private sheath
Quite a bargain I'd say, since either way
You will live by the show of our
I hold up my head
This was my life
Now I'm with the dead
So I lay bare my neck
This is your call
Dub a king or call it a wreck
And is this all I am?
Is this all I'll be?
This is not enough
We're all crying (this is what I wanted)
For respect and attention (but for every drop of blood I lost myself)
We're all dying (I, too, lay bleeding)
For a painless redemption (on the sidewalk)
Mother
Long live the dying king
A governmental blade
Now drawn from its private sheath
Quite a bargain you'd say, since either way
I will live by the show of your teeth
