Lyrics: Midlake. Rulers, Ruling All Things.

I've been cruel and kind without knowing
I fell into silence overwhelmed by these days
For I'd 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 it's 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
