Seven Spires – independent metal from Germany.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Knees scuffed up
Summer on our shins
You showed up barefoot
Freckles full of sins
Backpack full of apples
Mismatched
Braided hair
Said
“Pick a side of the tracks
If you don’t
I don’t care”

[Chorus]
We were kings of the dead-end road
Plastic crowns and a rusted throne
Swore we’d never walk alone
(never walk, never walk)
If the grown-ups took our names
We’d draw new ones in the rain
You and me against their plans
With dirt on our hands

[Verse 2]
You stole dad’s compass
Said
“It points to brave”
We followed it crooked
Past the junkyard grave
Past the tied-up boat
Past the barking yards
Every “keep out” sign
Became a greeting card

[Chorus]
We were kings of the dead-end road
Plastic crowns and a rusted throne
Swore we’d never walk alone
(hey, hey)
If the grown-ups took our names
We’d draw new ones in the rain
You and me against their plans
With dirt on our hands

[Bridge]
One day they moved you
Boxes down the hall
Your window went empty
Like they’d bricked the wall
But I still know the shortcut
Through the leaning pines
Where your laugh is hanging
From the power lines

[Chorus]
We were kings of the dead-end road
Plastic crowns and a rusted throne
Swore we’d never walk alone
(never walk, never walk)
If the world forgets our names
I’ll write yours in every lane
You and me
Wherever we land
With dirt on our hands
