Louis XIV

[Verse 1] Louis holds their hands as he’s walking down the street Eyes down to see them at his feet Puffs his pipe and asks them “Don’t you know it’s me?” They say they don’t know what he means And then he laughs Another heart attack [Chorus] And the sky opens up Down comes the ash It comes in a flash The more we try To see through the lies Out from Versailles En dies Irae And they say "Drop me into the sea 'cause I don’t see the Irony" Open the door And then I see My messiah took it all from me [Verse 2] Louis licks his lips As he’s counting his cash Another head falls into his 'stache He roars a roar and Looks into the fire The burning papers Of a liar And then he laughs Another heart attack But we want To see, to touch, to feel All those things you learn to steal Shook his fists up at the sun Until they started to burn Took his tie off of his collar As he started to learn Saw his arrogance and took it As the weight of the world Feels heavy but he’s certain It’s the size of a pearl [Chorus] And the sky opens up Down comes the ash It comes in a flash The more we try To see through the lies Out from versailles En Dies Irae And they say "Drop me into the sea 'cause I don’t see the irony" Cause the moment you fall He’ll start to look tall Take a minute off the hour And he’ll still try to stall As the seasons go by He’ll stand by your side Take a bite out of your ear And tell you what’s fine
