lyrics

My hands are bound I’m tied again
Honoured by the fall of men
There are the brave that live to die
There are the kings who live to lie

A heart of tin and one of gold
One man bought, another sold
I plead the ship to sail on by
And leave me with my ropes and I

These ropes that hold me straight and true
They could hold you

One hawk one wren, trustworthy men,
Two brothers hold the reigns of them,

The best of me will up and leave
Step from their chests and let them breathe
The hawk and wren will share the throne
These ships will take my good men home

The soured and the sweetened thoughts
Will honour why all good men fought
I plead the ships to sail on by
And leave me with my ropes and I

CHORUS

My wheels will drag this Prince around
And they’ll all hear that deathly sound
I’ve killed a million men you see
One hawk, one wren, these ants and me

I’m bound by love and fate and fear
And history shall find me here
I pray those ships to sail on by
And leave me with my ropes and I
