King Of Humble Lyrics - Singles - Vermillion Skye

Listen children, gather near 

You're about to hear 

Of the folly of Man 

Though we bravely try 

Tears well up in our eyes 

For the telling is sad 

Oh, the King of Humble never wore a crown 

Good and kind to all his people 

Still he is renowned 

The other kings with all their might 

Couldn't stand up to his light 

So they plotted and planned 

Sent in their evil spies, spread fear, demoralize 

And the panic began 

Oh, the King of Humble addressed the crowd: 

"Keep your faith in times of trouble, I won't let you down" 

"No, I won't abandon you...keep your faith" 

A traitor opened up the gates while most were fast asleep 

The Castle-guard, caught unaware, were taken easily 

Flaming arrows filled the sky, set fire to everything 

The few of us still left alive, we went to find the King 

He said: "Lay down those make-shift swords" 

"You can't hope to face these hordes" 

"Escape while you can" 

When we were safely out 

We made a final count 

But we were missing a man 

Oh, the King of Humble, he stood his ground 

All alone and outnumbered 

It was us who let him down 

We let him down 

We let him down 

And we will never see his likeness again 

Let him down....
