Blood-Diamond - Project Pitchfork

He never was a child

He always was wise

He was angry as he was wild

To rule the world would be so nice

He loved to explore the castle

His sister was playing on a rug

He felt like a clown

And so he reached out for the crown

He was the king of the world

For all he knew —

He could destroy all he wanted

And the whole world too

See him running in the dark

He flees from the yearning in his heart

He runs from the feeling in the flood

Everything he touches turns into blood

See him running in the dark

A magical melody spears his heart

From his eyes are falling tears

What was he doing all those years?

Feel him running in your heart

He likes to keep two worlds apart

He runs from the feeling in the flood

Everything he touches turns into blood

He grew up to grow old

Just like he was foretold

He was the leader in all the states

So he walled her castle gates

His sight became blurred

And his ideas were absurd

His hand became a claw

As his word turned into law

He is the beginning of the pain

But nothing ever stays the same

His colorless empire ends right here

As her melody is in his ear

See him running in the dark

He flees from the yearning in his heart

He runs from the feeling in the flood

Everything he touches turns into blood

See him running in the dark

A magical melody spears his heart

From his eyes are falling tears

What was he doing all these years?

Feel him running in your heart

He likes to keep two worlds apart

He runs from the feeling in the flood

Everything he touches turns into blood
