patriot heart(Arnold Melleby, 03.23.2025)

there were tremors

there were bonds broken

leaves on the ground found

that never fell 

from any of the trees around

can you smell the change in the air

can you taste the change in the ground below

your patriot heart 

has taken a beating

a hell of a wind

has blown away 

values built up

over decades of decensy

all vanished

before the inc was dry

your patriot heart 

is far from beating

at it`s regular pace

your patriot heart

is fucked up

I hear cries

out in the night

fearing the same neighbourhood

used to be safe and sound

now they`re living in fear

`cause, half the people have changed

the freedom you based it all on

as it seems, is all but gone

and the creatures that once were fought

by all means possible

all of a sudden

are your friends

your patriot heart 

has taken a beating

a hell of a wind

has blown away 

values built up

over decades of decensy

all vanished

before the inc was dry

your patriot heart 

is far from beating

at it`s regular pace

your patriot heart

is fucked up

your patriot heart 

has taken a beating

a hell of a wind

has blown away 

values built up

over decades of decensy

all vanished

before the inc was dry

your patriot heart 

is far from beating

at it`s regular pace

your patriot heart

is fucked up

for ever

long live the king(Arnold Melleby, 03.25.2025)

so you saw and read a sign

that I did not read

or did not send

the message sent

and probably received

I don`t know

and probably never will

you had it all

and gave it all away

just to see an angel 

fly away

was it worth it

she don`t know her way

back home any time soon

and time moves on

there were signs along the highway

littered streets and roads 

from Tupelo Mississippi

to Memphis Tennessee

I saw it all

the king is still alive

long live the king

so, there we were

and that`s where we`re at

can`t be making no excuses no more

I`m here and you`re not

let`s take it to another level

and take the stairs

the elevator is jammed

long live the king

he was there

to greet you at the gate

once in

no way out

he had it all

and gave it all

to you

long live the king

long live the king

he was there

to greet you at the gate

once in

no way out

he had it all

and gave it all

to you

long live the king
