The king who built the city saw its shining walls destroyed 
The prince who would be king is now just ruler of the void

The land is black where the battle raged
The towns are dead where the war was waged
The people cry for the dimming sun
For the glory lost which once was won

And that’s
The oldest tale in the fucking world
The oldest tale that was ever told
The graves unmarked in the barren earth
The children choke and the planet turns
And that’s
The oldest fire in the fucking world
The ash in the sky as the temples burn
No livers pecked out, no lessons learned
The oldest fire in the fucking world still burns

Prometheus brought us fire now our fingertips are burned
Prometheus brought us fire now the Gods want it returned

No pity and no lessons learned
The next in line was sorely hurt
His time had come but he was burnt
The tide of fate already turned 

And that’s
The oldest tale in the fucking world
The oldest tale that was ever told
The graves unmarked in the barren earth
The children choke and the planet turns
And that’s
The oldest fire in the fucking world
The ash in the sky as the temples burn
No livers pecked out, no lessons learned
The oldest fire in the fucking world still burns
The oldest fire in the fucking world still burns
 

The prince couldn’t wait for the king to die
The king did things which were not wise
The king was loved
The king was dumb
The king went to war when he shouldn’t’a done
The prince couldn’t wait for the king to die
The king did things which were not wise
The king was old
The king was dumb
The king went to war when he shouldn’t’a done
The prince couldn’t wait for the king to die
So he took out a poisoned knife
He couldn’t wait for the crown so he took it
Ah he put the crown on but it would not fit

And that’s
The oldest song in the fucking world
The oldest song you’ll ever sing
The king is dead
The king lives on
The king is dead long live the king

The king who built the city saw its shining walls destroyed

Livelong

Acoustic guitar version of a track called 'Dopamine'. Lyrics below.

The little hand passes out the big hand on its way
What do I do if today is not a good day?

The woman on the news whose daughter died
says that grief is the price of love
And I'm sure that's true, but it's not enough.

And now your beautiful face is on my shiny screen
and I'm begging my phone for another hit of dopamine

Your beautiful face is on my tiny screen
And I'm begging, I'm just begging
I'm just begging, I'm just begging you for dopamine.

Dopamine.
Dopamine.

The coffee that you gave me growing stale in the cupboard 
because I could never throw it away
What do I do if today is not a good day?

The jokes you used to leave me on my facebook page
Well they keep on coming up
And you know they're pretty funny
but they're not enough.

Now your beautiful face is on my tiny screen
and I'm begging my phone 
for just another hit of dopamine

Your beautiful face is on a shining screen
And I'm begging, I'm just begging
I'm just begging, I'm just begging you for dopamine.

Dopamine.
Dopamine.

Well it's a long way home
We'll only make it back there by 
the light of stars I've never known

I never could comprehend the infinite
Oh but what a privilege
to lead a life with a light like yours in it

Now your beautiful face is on my tiny screen
And I'm begging my phone 
for just another hit of dopamine

Your beautiful face is on my shining screen 
And I'm begging my phone 
for just another hit of dopamine

Your beautiful face it comes up on my feed
and I'm begging for dopamine

Your beautiful face is stuck inside my screen
and I'm begging
I'm just begging I'm just begging you for dopamine.

Dopamine.
Dopamine.

The last words I ever spoke to you
well they're all I have to say

Now what do I do if today is not a good day?
