Oh Lei, Oh Lie, Oh Lord

Verse 1

Come gather 'round, ye weary souls,

And hear this tale I bring,

Of knights who bore the weight of crowns,

And sorrowed kings and queens.

For underneath the bravest mail,

A heart may ache and weep,

And even those who guard the realm

Have tears they cannot keep.

Pre-Chorus

So hush, my friend, and lay thy sword

Beside the fire's glow,

For even hands that battle storms

May tire of pulling bows.

Chorus

People cry not because they're weak,

Or since they cannot speak.

Oh lei, oh lie, oh Lord

It's cause they've been way too strong,

For way too long...

Oh lei, oh lie, oh Lord.

So let us dance in the daisy field,

And drop the masks that we wield,

Oh lei, oh lie, oh Lord.

Verse 2

A maiden in her tower high

May hide her grief from view,

A dragon guards its burning flame,

Yet bears a sorrow too.

The knight who rides through darkest woods

With banners raised above,

May trade his shining sword someday

For one small hand of love.

Pre-Chorus

So lay thy armor on the ground,

Let weary shoulders rest,

No crown nor blade can make a soul

Be stronger than its best.

Chorus

People cry not because they're weak,

Or since they cannot speak.

Oh lei, oh lie, oh Lord

It's cause they've been way too strong,

For way too long...

Oh lei, oh lie, oh Lord.

So let us dance in the daisy field,

And drop the masks that we wield,

Oh lei, oh lie, oh Lord.

Bridge

And when the moon has crossed the sky,

And all the wars are done,

We'll tell the tales of those who cried,

And call them not undone.

For tears are rivers, clear and deep,

That carry grief away,

And every heart that once was strong

Deserves a gentler day.

Final Chorus

People cry not because they're weak,

Or since they cannot speak.

Oh lei, oh lie, oh Lord

It's cause they've been way too strong,

For way too long...

Oh lei, oh lie, oh Lord.

So let us dance in the daisy field,

And drop the masks that we wield,

Oh lei, oh lie, oh Lord.
