The Civil Wars - King Of The Sun lyrics

He rocked, he rolled, he was the idol To be true, the deal was kinda shirty But he became a guiding light Shot down in flames By Spanish soldiers But we will never, never ever Forget his wicked paradise Some people live forever Some people always seem to lose No man is bullet proof He's the king of the sun, the Devil in disguise Who could have seen that his kingdom soon would fall A funeral pyre of dark desire He was the king of the sun Explore the world, life is a gold mine And we will never, never ever Forget the legendary ones Inside the golden city Behold the unholy rite A human sacrifice Heaven is for heroes and hell is full of fools Searching for a brighter world where life is pure and true Marching to oblivion or to eternal fame Ride into infinity and testify in pain He's the king of the sun; he's the king of the stars He's the king of the sun and the moon and the stars
