The Dark Age by Kitty (UK) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We’re staring at the ceremony of our own defeat
The people they are tearing down your statues in the street
I only ever pray to you, God knows that I do
He tells me to keep praying because no one else seems to
You've got the power of the universe
In your fingertips
It’s electric
You collect it
Like a hoarder
Give me an order
You shout obey me
I say first you tamе me, baby
[Chorus]
Tumbling buildings
Now we’re part of thе ruin
All of the glamour and luxury
Turns to dust, rust, specks of gold
Fresh Prince getting old
We must do as we’re told
Or we’ll be done for
Give me something
Or someone to run for
I can’t see clearly
But I need you near me
From my point of vantage
You’re my advantage
[Post-Chorus]
People bow down to
The king of the dark age
[Verse 2]
The forests and the fountains they are lit up like the sun
In the morning they’ll sing war chants for the end will have begun
I wish that you’d listen to me, you say I’m just a girl
But I know you’d give Rome to me
'Cause I know I’m your world
I have heard the whispers in the courtrooms and the halls
I’m glad they think I’m stupid when in fact I know it all
[Chorus]
Tumbling buildings
Now we’re part of the ruin
All of the glamour and luxury
Turns to dust, rust, specks of gold
Fresh Prince getting old
We must do as we’re told
Or we’ll be done for
Give me something
Or someone to run for
I can’t see clearly
But I need you near me
From my point of vantage
You’re my advantage
People bow down to
The king of the dark age
[Bridge]
Baby, I know you want it all
All the power of the world
Do you think that you deserve the right to rule?
Baby, I've tried to tell you over
And over and over
You tell me I don’t have a clue
Mmh
I’ve taken three shots of poison
I’m hanging off the balcony
And I can see the city outline
As far as the eye can see
Your empire is falling down
The emperor can’t stop me now
[Chorus]
Tumbling buildings
Now we’re part of the ruin
All of the glamour and luxury
Turns to dust, rust, specks of gold
Fresh Prince getting old
We must do as we’re told
Or we’ll be done for
Give me something
Or someone to run for
I can’t see clearly
But I need you near me
From my point of vantage
You’re my advantage
People bow down to
The king of the dark age
We’re staring at the ceremony of our own defeat
The people they are tearing down your statues in the street
I only ever pray to you, God knows that I do
