Pharoah's Daughter Lyrics
Hold on!
The recent exchange
Is just another face arranged
By the knife edge of time
And just another waste of mine
I wonder
Was that the Pharoah's Daughter
Or the wealth I still remember?
We were dressed in uniforms left over from the war
A tourniquet, an iron vest, our emblem was a star
The younger ones looked frightened
Left unguarded by the clouds
While sons of fire with trembling hands
Burned heroes to the ground
I wonder
Was that the famous daughter
of the well-heeled revolving oh-so-fine?
While we were building caskets
For boys with leather jackets
The girl's quite familiar
The recent exchange
Is just another face arranged
By the knife edge of time
And just another waste of mine
Was that the Pharoah's Daughter
Or the wealth I still remember?
A tourniquet, an iron vest, our emblem was a star
The younger ones looked frightened
Left unguarded by the clouds
While sons of fire with trembling hands
Burned heroes to the ground
Was that the famous daughter
of the well-heeled revolving oh-so-fine?
While we were building caskets
For boys with leather jackets

Talking bout the world today and how most kidz dont appreciate what's been given to them after all the hard work many put into it....Im one of those kidz lol aw well
I think it's about an aristocrat who is forced suddenly into war and the ugliness of the world. He sees life how it really is and faintly remembers the life he used to live and longs for it.
Maybe I've just over analyzed it. I've been thinking about it a lot.
"Our emblem was a star"? The star of David?
