Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
For gone is the green and their hallowed ground
For we're the kings of it all, the day we were born
Their ship once sailed no longer anchors
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye
We were the Kings of the Kilburn High
To fly where no others have soared
To fly where no others have soared
Listen to the sound of dead men dying
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye
We were the Kings of the Kilburn High
For we're the kings of it all, the day we were born
This ageless clock chime stalls
We were the Kings of the Kilburn High
Were to kiss the lips of that love forgotten
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
Cry what's left to sleep
Now we're the Kings of the Kilburn High
Breathing the air that silenced some
Now we're the Kings of the Kilburn High
For we're the kings of it all, the day we were born
Toast to tears of times past glories
Now we're the Kings of the Kilburn High
We were the Kings of the Kilburn High
This ageless clock chime stalls
Many is the day I took for granted
Were to kiss the lips of that love forgotten
Toast to tears of times past glories
Pity no more nor grieve
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
March as they flee but exiled, bound
Where you dream of the love you left forever
Beating its breast with a war drenched song
We were the Kings of the Kilburn High
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye
Bathe awhile, awash in slumber
Now we're the Kings of the Kilburn High
For we're the kings of it all, the day we were born
As the North Wind blew with its head of thunder
