lyrics

We gon' break those pearly gates if we see them after all
First comes pride before the ruin before the fall
And he knows I'm the only one
Keep the questions from my lips they've sealed the gates
We'll never break the chains

Dreams of green grass
Dreams that drowned in the rain
Breathless, dead air
The last gasp burns the hope away

Mark the place where I am sprawled
Feel the dirt where glory choked and smashed upon the wall
We were wrong, we got the screams
The screams without the song

Darling, I'll write you when I can

You know it calls to me, the ecstasy
The perjury of heavenly embrace
'Cause what we've done out here
God don't make no caveats for this

It won't take, won't take Him long to judge
It ain't like, we ain't already cast to hell

You know it calls to me, the ecstasy
The perjury of heavenly embrace
'Cause what we've done out here
God don't make no caveats for this

Dead Kings of Norway recommends:

Central
by thermal features

Thermal Features has some of the most soothing (and jarring) music I've ever heard on a solo bass. Each piece is like a little portrait, deep in sound, but satisfying in its brevity. Dead Kings of Norway

Crystals in the Deep
by Crystals in the Deep

Crystals in the Deep is the other band that I make music with. It's darker and more laid back than Dead Kings of Norway. So far it's just the one album but we'll be writing another soon. Dead Kings of Norway
