Killers & Kings Lyrics
Dark lady read me the future
The ancient verse hidden away
I, turn from the evergrey and,
Tarot cards keep us enraptured
Open mind become a sage
Let this unlock the cage
Ancient power
Darkest hour
Open your third eye and you'll see
Killers and kings
Inheritors of earth
Killers and kings
From death there comes rebirth
And as an army we will sing
A diamond bears our ring
Killers and kings
Look to earth summon the master
Awake the human living inside
Ecclesiasticide
The Hangman gives in to temperance
The sun shines over the fool
High Priestess spreads her rule
Death and rebirth
Decay and mirth
Open your third eye and you'll see
Killers and kings
Inheritors of earth
Killers and kings
From death there comes rebirth
And as an army we will sing
A diamond bears our ring
Killers and kings
A diamond bears our ring
The King of Pentacles is here
Strength and fortitude help to push away the fear
We stand atop the mountain with The Hermit and the lamp
As the lovers in the Knight of Swords give in to the damned
What do the cards say?
The prophecy remains
The Devil and the Emperor could keep us locked in chains
And the death card doesn't mean you die
It means a change is coming that you simply can't deny
Reborn
Rebirth
From death comes rebirth
Killers and kings
Inheritors of earth
Killers and kings
From death there comes rebirth
And as an army we will sing
A diamond bears our ring
Killers and kings
Killers and kings
Inheritors of earth
Killers and kings
From death there comes rebirth
And as an army we will sing
A diamond bears our ring
Killers and kings
The ancient verse hidden away
I, turn from the evergrey and,
Tarot cards keep us enraptured
Open mind become a sage
Let this unlock the cage
Darkest hour
Open your third eye and you'll see
Inheritors of earth
Killers and kings
From death there comes rebirth
And as an army we will sing
A diamond bears our ring
Killers and kings
Awake the human living inside
Ecclesiasticide
The Hangman gives in to temperance
The sun shines over the fool
High Priestess spreads her rule
Decay and mirth
Open your third eye and you'll see
Inheritors of earth
Killers and kings
From death there comes rebirth
And as an army we will sing
A diamond bears our ring
Killers and kings
Strength and fortitude help to push away the fear
We stand atop the mountain with The Hermit and the lamp
As the lovers in the Knight of Swords give in to the damned
What do the cards say?
The prophecy remains
The Devil and the Emperor could keep us locked in chains
And the death card doesn't mean you die
It means a change is coming that you simply can't deny
Rebirth
From death comes rebirth
Inheritors of earth
Killers and kings
From death there comes rebirth
And as an army we will sing
A diamond bears our ring
Killers and kings
Inheritors of earth
Killers and kings
From death there comes rebirth
And as an army we will sing
A diamond bears our ring
Killers and kings

According to Robb Flynn in the audio commentary for this song, the lyrics are inspired by tarot cards and the double meanings they can have. The death card may look like you're going to die, but it can also symbolize an oncoming change for the better.
