lyrics

Radio's on television talking with a hat
Branches are walking towards castle walls
Feeling small
Leaves inside the fortress feel the presence of them all
But the King forbids the brothers from reuniting
he makes the call

Stop the killing makes no sense
Falling all over each other
Robbing the lives of our brothers
But you do what you can

fifteen days into the future as far as I could see
Things were going to be very much different for me

Stop the killing makes no sense
Falling all over each other
Robbing the lives of our brothers
but you do what you can

I think my mind is made I’m free as what I say
I will never win Im playing games that I will never play
