"Whatever happens Know you can love me Whatever happens next Know you can trust me No battle lost" Growls the old King "No war un-won" He spits and he sings "I wish I'd had the balls To sell the army off Pay all my enemies And just swallow the loss Whatever happens Know you can love me" I listened all night The drinks were free But soon his bitter heart Got wearing on me "Go all, go one The night is young My throat is dry But I ain't done No I ain't done The loves of your life: The glass and the wife One guts you hollow One twists the knife" Morning had come I left him inside And I ran away With the paling sky Yeah I ran away With the paling sky "I wish I'd only had the balls To bury the hatchet and forgive 'em all! Cuz now the hours are days And the days go like months Whatever happens You know I love you"
