The Decemberists - The Kingdom Of Spain lyrics

rate me

In the Kingdom of Spain

There are such colours

They defy any name

Like drab and dolor

But oh the King and the Queen of Spain

With their long unpronounceable names

Grace the table at the long lost Kingdom of Spain

In the Kingdom of Light

A lithe young lawyer

Tries a case for her unjustly arrested brother

But oh the King and the Queen of Light

Rule with unbendable might

So it's to the gallows with the long lost Kingdom of Light

In the Kingdom of Love

Oh, we're all just fodder

As the cannonades drub

Our sons and daughters

But oh the King and the Queen of Love

In their long white fingerless gloves

Bang the gavel for the long lost Kingdom of Love

Of love

Of love
