letra de laid in blood - the mechanisms

[verse 1]
twenty-three warriors and a king, laid in blood when the battle has done
the price of a long due reckoning, laid in blood when the battle has done
old king cole has paid the toll of the crimes levied upon his soul
the rebel blades have achieved their goal, laid in blood when the battle has done
his mouth hangs open, his eyes are wild, with a gaping wound is his chest defiled
while round his split throne the dead lie piled, laid in blood when the battle has done

[verse 2]
twenty-three warriors and snow white, laid in blood when the battle has done
fought like the devil in the dead of night, laid in blood when the battle has done
believed in peace, yet marched to war, shot through the heart, dead upon the floor
covered in her own and her sister’s gore, laid in blood when the battle has done
with an army to lead and a war to win, put the bullet to dozens of her own kin
atoning for some vast and secret sin, laid in blood when the battle has done

[verse 3]
twenty-three warriors and rose red, laid in blood when the battle has done
while outside the door many more lay dead, laid in blood when the battle has done
her body lies in her wife’s caress, her face is free of her life’s distress
wearing the rags of her wedding dress, laid in blood when the battle has done
released from her cell, like the wrath of h-ll, the three little pigs to her anger fell
but king cole sounded her funeral knell, laid in blood when the battle has done

[verse 4]
twenty-three warriors gone to rest, laid in blood when the battle has done
fought with the worst and died with the best, laid in blood when the battle has done
cinders saw her betrothed at last, her beauty untouched by the decades past
then king cole fired, and it went too fast, laid in blood when the battle has done
with the girl to whom through the years she’d sing, dead at the hand of the thrice-d-mned king
she pierced his chest with her blood-red ring, laid in blood when the battle has done

[instrumental]

[outro]
their bodies are still and their blood is cold, the book is closed and the story told
no ‘happy ever after’ for a tale so old, laid in blood when the battle has done
