Wilderness | Martin Van Ruin
http://martinvanruin.bandcamp.com/track/wilderness
From Every Man a King. By Martin Van Ruin. Buy the Full Digital Album. We broke all our promises. The charter was annulled. We cast sights on some strange place. Where no one walks alone. I got my bag, my woman, my vices. Saw somebodys daughter got her hands on a rifle. Were all holding on to what we know. Not sure where this will go. I stood on these tired legs. And held you by the hand. Said, i built this house, ill burn it down. Ill prove myself a man. Factory is ahead all teeming with people. Every M...

Storm Coming | Martin Van Ruin
http://martinvanruin.bandcamp.com/track/storm-coming
From Every Man a King. By Martin Van Ruin. Buy the Full Digital Album. At the birthplace of an ocean. I will drown in the commotion. Let me crawl inside your head and play my dreams. I am drifting off to nowhere. I will leave you now to go there. Where the desert is alive and the sun does sing. Theres a storm coming to a town near you. I heard the heavens fill with shouting. Heard the drums all getting louder. As the waters rise, and so our fingers do. Ive been asking for forgiveness. The sky washed away.

Put it Away | Martin Van Ruin
http://martinvanruin.bandcamp.com/track/put-it-away
From Every Man a King. By Martin Van Ruin. Buy the Full Digital Album. Mary got drunk, she blamed new orleans. She left her kids at the cigarette machines. She drew a line to kansas city. Said, this life is mine now while im still pretty. Well, george got a job at the age of 14. And a decade later, he was Man Mountain Dean. In a little town in oregon, they crowed him champion. Said his golden robes are what kept him standing. Are we standing, or singing? Hey, put it away. The streets are calling,.

American Moon | Martin Van Ruin
http://martinvanruin.bandcamp.com/track/american-moon
From Every Man a King. By Martin Van Ruin. Buy the Full Digital Album. Our kids will disappear down the flight of stairs. For all that happened here, we were unprepared. Waters rising, revolution came. And we dont know now, what heres left to save. Cause something rose and something fell. Like all good plans, it went to hell. We took our fathers names, we cut our hair. And when our papers came, we said our prayers. But were still sleeping neath the american moon. And all are coming days are coming soon.

This Time Around | Martin Van Ruin
http://martinvanruin.bandcamp.com/track/this-time-around
From Every Man a King. By Martin Van Ruin. Buy the Full Digital Album. The street where you woke up. The town you were born. The lights in the warehouse. All broken or gone. Well, your face looks older. Mine still looks young. Lets lay where we laid then. But let go of what was. When broken hands were held up like they won. And our dying breath was still here in our lungs. This time around, youll come around. The promise, the pavement. At the warehouse youre waiting. For a reason to stay. Every Man a King.

Easy Answer | Martin Van Ruin
http://martinvanruin.bandcamp.com/track/easy-answer
From Every Man a King. By Martin Van Ruin. Buy the Full Digital Album. Everybodys looking but we aint found one. Everybodys looking but we aint found one. You call, you call from the disaster. Were still looking for the easy answer. I dont know what here belongs to me. We found the keys to the penitentiary. If we free them all, theyll ask us who to thank. And at the prison wall, theyll see that things have changed. Everybodys looking but we aint found one. Policemen are looking, but they aint found one.

Someone Tried to Warn Me | Martin Van Ruin
http://martinvanruin.bandcamp.com/track/someone-tried-to-warn-me-2
Someone Tried to Warn Me. From Every Man a King. By Martin Van Ruin. Buy the Full Digital Album. Someone tried to warn me the citys not for dreams. The people in the buildings are never what they seem. Saw them writing on the walls of some long, forgotten hall. Where you lay sleeping. It said the cemetery is filled with invincible men. The peasants and the poets told us how the world will end. And when you told me what you need. I just wondered what its like to need me. Oh, youve seen such awful things.
