4. Hail to the King (5:47)
"...Dhatusena (455-473) was the first king by the Moriyan dynasty of Sri Lanka, in 473
His own son Kasyapa overthrew and murdered him by entombing him inside a wall
Some say Dhatusena always knew, this will happen as god's will and so he excused for his son's atrocity..."
Wading through the halls of misery
Crawling through your dreams
Hail and praise the king!
It wasn't the time for us, my inner voices say
I lift up my holy hands, shine brighter every day
As the dawn reveals now the end of time, my father will not remain
Far beyond the other side you'll guide my way
Like a star in the night, it's my legacy
Hail to the king
I'm giving myself up and now there's fire in my brain
I'm locked in a memory garden, burns me down insane
Now that I pretend to close my eyes, you will now cross the line
Far beyond the other side you'll guide my way
Like a star in the night, my legacy
Will you ever betray my trust in you
Leave a sign and the light will guide me through
Hail to the king
God in between
Far beyond the other side you'll guide my way
Like the dark in the night... My enemy
His own son Kasyapa overthrew and murdered him by entombing him inside a wall
Some say Dhatusena always knew, this will happen as god's will and so he excused for his son's atrocity..."
Wading through the halls of misery
Crawling through your dreams
Hail and praise the king!
It wasn't the time for us, my inner voices say
I lift up my holy hands, shine brighter every day
As the dawn reveals now the end of time, my father will not remain
Far beyond the other side you'll guide my way
Like a star in the night, it's my legacy
Hail to the king
I'm giving myself up and now there's fire in my brain
I'm locked in a memory garden, burns me down insane
Now that I pretend to close my eyes, you will now cross the line
Far beyond the other side you'll guide my way
Like a star in the night, my legacy
Will you ever betray my trust in you
Leave a sign and the light will guide me through
Hail to the king
God in between
Far beyond the other side you'll guide my way
Like the dark in the night... My enemy
