False Kings Alexander Theatre Sessions by Poets of the Fall Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Getting lost singing their song
Caught up in all I've done
It's all I know, but not what I need

I need the love in your embrace
Open doors, brand new ways

So I want to run to your shelter tonight
Run to the shelter tonight
United in silent resistance
Of bowing to false kings
So let me run to your shelter tonight
Run from this meaningless pantomime
I'll swallow my pride, give up the pretence

[Outro]
