Age Of Kings Lyrics - All Eternal's Deck - Mountain Goats

Pause at the stone tower in the foothills 

Why should we hide from anyone? 

Held you in my arms for the first time that day 

Felt like God's anointed when you didn't push me away 

Gold light shining on so many things in the age of kings 

Gold light shining on so many things in the age of kings 

Lean on the concrete walls in shadow 

Why should we wait to throw the switch? 

Felt your name burn in like a tattoo into my skin 

Rain on the clay tiles all night your head nestled beneath my chin 

Gold light shining on so many things in the age of kings 

Gold light shining on so many things in the age of kings 

In the lost age where the jewels hide 

And the salt sticks in the waiting stone still warm 

Small chambers shrinking till they vanish 

Wolves in the hallway gaining ground 

Reach down to the moment when I should have said something true 

Shadows and their sources now stealing away with you 

Gold light shining on so many things in the age of kings 

Gold light shining on so many things in the age of kings
