Theí‚ treesí‚ gaveí‚ upí‚ theirí‚ upí‚ theirí‚ roots
Andí‚ theí‚ lepersí‚ leftí‚ theirí‚ caves
Allí‚ theí‚ rattlesnakesí‚ cameí‚ downí‚ fromí‚ theí‚ mountain
Andí‚ theí‚ kingsí‚ allí‚ becameí‚ slaves
Oní‚ theí‚ day
Thatí‚ myí‚ lordí‚ came
Theí‚ fireí‚ splití‚ theí‚ beams
Theí‚ wall'sí‚ comingí‚ down
Theí‚ dayí‚ myí‚ lordí‚ came
Theí‚ tearsí‚ filledí‚ upí‚ myí‚ eyes
Theí‚ curtainí‚ hasí‚ beení‚ drawn
Toí‚ layí‚ toí‚ wasteí‚ thisí‚ land,í‚ toí‚ me
It'sí‚ likeí‚ theí‚ beautyí‚ ofí‚ theí‚ breakingí‚ ofí‚ theí‚ dawn
Andí‚ así‚ aí‚ blackí‚ handí‚ sweptí‚ acrossí‚ theí‚ earth
Ií‚ knew
Thatí‚ thatí‚ dayí‚ came
Whení‚ theí‚ fishí‚ floatí‚ oní‚ theí‚ water
Withí‚ theirí‚ belliesí‚ up
I'llí‚ know,í‚ I'llí‚ know
Thatí‚ thatí‚ dayí‚ came
Allí‚ theí‚ rattlesnakesí‚ cameí‚ downí‚ fromí‚ theí‚ mountain
Andí‚ theí‚ kingsí‚ allí‚ becameí‚ slaves
Theí‚ treesí‚ gaveí‚ upí‚ theirí‚ upí‚ theirí‚ rootsí‚ fromí‚ theí‚ earth
Andí‚ theí‚ lepersí‚ leftí‚ theirí‚ caves
Oní‚ theí‚ day
Thatí‚ myí‚ lordí‚ came
Theí‚ coyotesí‚ leftí‚ theirí‚ dens
Theí‚ horsesí‚ leftí‚ toí‚ theirí‚ stables
Andí‚ theyí‚ bowedí‚ downí‚ toí‚ theí‚ ground
Everyí‚ creatureí‚ thatí‚ wasí‚ able
Aí‚ blanketí‚ ofí‚ mossí‚ willí‚ coverí‚ theí‚ earth
Andí‚ I'llí‚ know
Thatí‚ theí‚ dayí‚ came
It'sí‚ theí‚ shiftingí‚ ofí‚ theí‚ guard
Timeí‚ toí‚ startí‚ anew
Theí‚ oldí‚ godsí‚ haveí‚ allí‚ failed
Andí‚ theirí‚ successorsí‚ too
Myí‚ king,í‚ myí‚ king
Willí‚ wipeí‚ theí‚ slateí‚ clean
Housesí‚ becomeí‚ tombs
Myí‚ king,í‚ myí‚ king
Willí‚ takeí‚ theí‚ fruití‚ ofí‚ everyí‚ singleí‚ womb
Andí‚ makeí‚ ití‚ hisí‚ own
Myí‚ king,í‚ heí‚ isí‚ displeased
Toí‚ beí‚ forgottení‚ andí‚ alone
Andí‚ theí‚ onesí‚ whoí‚ cameí‚ before
Well,í‚ theí‚ valleyí‚ isí‚ filled
Withí‚ theirí‚ bones
Ií‚ amí‚ theí‚ stormí‚ brewingí‚ upí‚ fromí‚ theí‚ east
Fromí‚ theí‚ west
Fromí‚ everyí‚ directioní‚ atí‚ once
