Queen Of Fortune Lyrics - Monks Of Doom

I said to the fortune teller 

Won't you please read me my cards 

She laid out the deck and asked me 

How I'd ever gotten this far? 

I was born by the sea of misfortune 

I was dragged by thte scruff of my neck 

Through the drought ravaged fields my house was built in 

Irrigated lawns in an orange sunset 

When I was grown I crawled out this city 

Covered by a blanket of smoke 

And I pulled myself up to higher ground 

To look around before I choked 

And now I'll fight both tooth and nail 

Until I get when I'm going to get 

I'll hang on with the jaws of a pit bull 

I won't let go of what my vision is 

I am the king of war 

I am a rotten dove 

I am the face of innocence lost 

I can't find a thing to love 

If you hear kicking or your hear screaming 

From the coast of the valley high 

And you hear of shootings or of beatings 

Do you try and shield your eye? 

Do you just chalk it up to a sign of the times? 

Do you talk about the fighting? 

Never stand up so much as feel uneasy 

Never speak up so much as think we're dreaming 

And I am the dream of a child 

I am the doors of the tor store open wide 

With my shelves picked clean and empty 

I am the dream of a child 

I was told what to be but not how to do it 

Told to believe but not ever why 

I go through days where it's always raining 

My common sense says the sun's in the sky 

Well is this faith to keep on trying 

Or am I a dog who knows when to die? 

I won't know a thing as my flesh turns to soil 

These days they just rush by 

I am the king of war 

I am a rotten dove 

I am the queen of your fortune 

And I am your blind, blind love 

I am the weight of your memory 

I am the shadow of fear 

I am the question of the future 

When your vision turns unclear
