My King Lyrics by Tim Cameron

Songs of the Vanished

2017

It's at least seven miles since the godless defile
Where the raiders had left me for dead
On the kind of a night where the kids shake in fright
And make fortresses under their beds

Still, a song keeps me warm as I crawl through the storm
Though it steals every line that I sing
I love you, I hear you, my king

As in Hansel and Gretel, a trail of rose petals
Is snaking back into the wood
And there's no hint of fear in the eyes of the deer
Drawn to me by the salt in my blood

As I choke out the tune that my grandfather crooned;
When I fell, it would soothe every sting
I love you, I hear you, my king
I love you, I hear you, my king

If every rhyme has a reason
Something divine to believe in
Then those who die are still living
Carried on the waves

There's no light from the town, only night so profound
It could bury the brow of the hill
But the music that blows from the houses below
Tells me whole hearts are beating there still

Lovers weaving their symphonies, keener than winter
To keep them alive till the spring
I love you, I hear you, my king
I love you, I hear you, my king
I love you, I hear you, my king

If every rhyme has a reason
Something divine to believe in
Then those who die are still living
Carried on the waves

In a world beyond hope, we float with the ocean;
We fall and then rise and then fall
But the songs of the vanished still echo unblemished
Though all else is long past recall

I can count every breath between me and my death
But I still have enough for one thing:
I love you, I hear you, my king
I love you, I hear you, my king
I'll always be near you, my king
