Lyrics

[00:03.10] The truest heart will not be tempted
[00:09.77] With bright silver or shining gold
[00:15.61] For all your wealth she'd not speak falsely
[00:22.89] And all your power cannot hold
[00:28.88] Lay down your kingdom lay down
[00:35.11] Lay down your kingdom lay down
[00:50.35] Her face is fair to those who know her
[00:55.52] The rest are blind, they cannot see
[01:00.32] And in her eyes you see forever
[01:05.49] Endless joy and misery
[01:11.56] Lay down your kingdom lay down
[01:16.29] Lay down your kingdom lay down
[01:29.93] Some men gamble for their pleasure
[01:34.81] Some men gamble for their greed
[01:40.04] I will gamble for her favor
[01:45.10] I will gamble out of need
[01:50.77] Lay down your kingdom lay down
[01:55.57] Lay down your kingdom lay down
[02:27.65] Here's to our Lady of Good Fortune
[02:32.62] Deliver me from an evil hand
[02:37.39] Here's to the one who plays against me
[02:42.69] Be he spirit or be he man
[02:49.17] Lay down your kingdom lay down
[02:52.96] Lay down your kingdom lay down
[02:57.65] Lay down your kingdom lay down
[03:02.33] Lay down your kingdom lay down
