Pain Of Salvation - King Of Loss - табы GTP и PTB

Mother, at my first breath 
Every paragraph was set 
As I inhaled the scent of debt 
Mother, that first stolen air 
On papers saying I'm not mine 

"We crown you, the King of Loss... 
Better get on your feet 
Best be one of us 
Better get yourself on the list 
For success 
Dress up as a State investment 
Charm the press 
A breed from the seed of only 
One short breath" 

Mother, hence we cry: 
Some of us are free to stand 
Most of us are bound to lie 
In those bloodstained beds 
No one can afford to pay 
The prices on their babies' heads 

I am the King of Loss! 
For every dear smile I feel I'm not one of us 
"An ivory coin for every plus on your stone" 

"One more governmental blade 
Now drawn from its sheath 
Quite a bargain I'd say since either way 
You will live by the show of our teeth!" 

Mother, I wish that we could talk 
You see 
I'm not fit to play this game 
Bound by its rules just the same 
My talents turned to talons 
Every monetary pile 
Will buy me a precious smile...
smile... 

So smile for the King of Loss 
Feed from the juices 
Bleeding from this cross 
Then tell me our lives mean more 
Than this vain thirst! 

"A governmental blade 
Drawn from its private sheath 
Quite a bargain I'd say, since either way 
You'll be living by the show of our..." 

I hold up my head 
This was my life 
Now I'm with the dead 
So I lay my bare neck 
This is your call 
Dub a king or a wreck 

(Mother, listen to me mother) 

This was my life 
This is your call 

Is this all I am? Is this all I'll be? 
This is not enough! 

We're all crying for respect and attention 
We're all dying for a painless redemption! 
This is not what I wanted 
But for every drop of blood I lost myself 
I, too, lay bleeding on the sidewalk... 

Mother 
Long live the dying king 

"A governmental blade 
Now drawn from its private sheath 
Quite a bargain I'd say, since either way 
I will live by the show of your teeth..."
