lyrics

Little darling sleep tight
I hope you dream of everything that you wish for tonight
Because when I wake up and you're fast asleep
Under cover I will find a safe place to retreat
If you happen to arrive at the scene of the crime
You will find me with blood on these hands that isn't mine

I'm finally going somewhere, I put some meaning to my life
Since everything I've worked on this far was lost
Tonight we take it back, tonight we take back what was ours
And we'll never need anything again
Never bow down to kiss the crown you held so high, so high above us

Under the cover of darkness, we'll look for the weakest stone in the wall and let it fall
Down to our feet we'll let it fall
Break in to the yard like clock work, silently putting footsteps on the grass
We made it passed, not to be seen

Now we'll watch you fall, down to your knees we'll watch you fall
Helpless like the people you've stepped on
Victimized for the first time in your life, this feels so right and I've been waiting for so long
And now you are waiting and soon you'll be praying for death to come
And release you from this masked assassin
Your undertaker, reign of terror is over

Little darling sleep tight

Don't you dare make another move
Like figures etched in glass, I can see right through you
Bodies in bags and your heads all in baskets
I brought you the numbers, the fear, and the masses
Under my impenetrable, bequeathable, sovereignty, dynasty, baby

Little darling sleep tight
I hope you've dreamed of everything that you've wished for tonight
How should I feel?
When did I go blind?
A picture out of focus, conclusive before its time
And now that I've seen the truth behind the lies
Evacuate, evacuate under the moonlight

The king is dead and now his crown will be placed on another head
No one knows but me, they won't see what I have seen
Run away, run away, run away darling
Spread warning of this odious monarchy
I'm finally going somewhere, tonight we take it back little darling
