King and Cross - Ásgeir

Glistening nighttime dew, and she is walking with me

From the house of red, I hear a child crying

Foxes heading home, their prey hangs from their jaws

And the forest knows, but it won’t share the secret

When the king takes sides

Leaving moral minds;

soldiers take their share

Nighthawks seem to sense that now is the time

Deep inside them burns the raging fire of life

He’ll take back what he owns

Death cannot take hold, if I can keep momentum

Fortresses of stone, turn into crystal tears

Soothed by southern winds;

I’ve found my strength now

And nobody knows, and we must keep their secret

When the king takes sides

Leaving moral minds;

soldiers take their share

Nighthawks seem to sense that now is the time

Deep inside them burns the raging fire of life

He’ll take back what he owns

When the king takes sides

Leaving moral minds;

soldiers take their share

Nighthawks seem to sense that now is the time

Deep inside them burns the raging fire of life

He’ll take back what he owns
