Vermillion Skye - King Of Humble lyrics

Listen children, gather near You're about to hear Of the folly of Man Though we bravely try Tears well up in our eyes For the telling is sad Oh, the King of Humble never wore a crown Good and kind to all his people Still he is renowned The other kings with all their might Couldn't stand up to his light So they plotted and planned Sent in their evil spies, spread fear, demoralize And the panic began Oh, the King of Humble addressed the crowd: "Keep your faith in times of trouble, I won't let you down" "No, I won't abandon you...keep your faith" A traitor opened up the gates while most were fast asleep The Castle-guard, caught unaware, were taken easily Flaming arrows filled the sky, set fire to everything The few of us still left alive, we went to find the King He said: "Lay down those make-shift swords" "You can't hope to face these hordes" "Escape while you can" When we were safely out We made a final count But we were missing a man Oh, the King of Humble, he stood his ground All alone and outnumbered It was us who let him down We let him down We let him down And we will never see his likeness again Let him down....
