Rulers, Ruling All Things Lyrics
by Midlake
TUNED DOWN HALF A STEP
G - 355433 / 320003 (Personally feel the first way sounds nicer)
I have been cruel and kind without knowing,
I fell into silence overwhelmed by these days,
For I had been shown empty rulers, ruling all things.
Thinking the world was mine to lay hold of,
I breathed in the promise of maiden and man,
But each had their own illusions to hold on to.
I only want to be left to my own ways,
The rulers have won leaving all things undone,
I've stood in awe of the whole creation,
Gathered among them was the morning ,
Giving all its rest.
Thinking the world was mine to be lost in,
I ran with a freedom and sang in between,
For I had the path of wonder, there before me.
I only want to be left to my own ways,
The rulers have won leaving all things undone,
I've stood in awe of the whole creation,
Gathered among them was the morning,
Giving all its rest.
(Instrumental) - Am F Dm E
I only want to be left to my own ways,
The rulers have won leaving all things undone,
I've stood in awe of the whole creation,
Gathered among them was the morning,
Giving all its rest.
I only want to be left to my own ways,
The rulers have won leaving all things undone,
I've stood in awe of the whole creation,
Gathered among them was the morning,
Giving all its rest.
