Well, you can fight it but you know that you won't get your way
In the end
Too many people
The king and all of his men

And if you're dealing a line of cards
Won't you take me to the queen of hearts
And if you're trying to tell the dawn what you see
Back off the stars before you come for me
And if you're dealing a line of ???
Who's gonna tell her the reason I left

You took her soul, so incomplete
Why don't you stop fighting me?
You're in control
So why should you be fighting me?

Fighting me
Fighting me

How to be sure that what you say is the truth
When I see flaws in every thing that you do
And if I'm passing a sentence of doom
I would give you the queen for a fool
And now you've lost, there's nothing left to defend
You came so close to the king and all of his men
And if you're dealing in a trick and a lie
I need to see her face for one last time

You took her soul, so incomplete
Why don't you stop fighting me?
You're in control
So why should you be fighting me?

The king and all of his men
The king and all of his men

You took her soul, so incomplete
Why don't you stop fighting me?
You're in control
So why should you be fighting me?
