Florence + The Machine - Queen Of Peace (Audio)

I DO NOT OWN ANY COPYRIGHT

Lyrics:

Oh, the king
Gone mad within his suffering
Called out for relief
Someone cure him of his grief

His only son
Cut down, but the battle won
Oh, what is it worth
When all that's left is hurt?

Like the stars chase the sun
Over the glowing hill, I will conquer
Blood is running deep
Some things never sleep

Suddenly I'm overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you're driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause you're driving me away

Oh, the queen of peace
Always does her best to please
Is it any use?
Somebody's gotta lose

Like a long scream
Out there, always echoing
Oh, what is it worth?
All that's left is hurt

Like the stars chase the sun
Over the glowing hill, I will conquer
Blood is running deep
Some things never sleep

Suddenly I'm overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you're driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause you're driving me away

And my love is no good
Against the fortress that it made of you
Blood is running deep
Sorrow that you keep

Suddenly I'm overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you're driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause you're driving me away

[UrielMoreno]

SUDDENLY I AM OVERCOME ! DISSOLVING LIKE THE SETTING SUN !

[Archonsx]

Am I the only one who feel like is the king in this song waiting for the queen to take the suffering away... I feel like I am going mad and tired of everyone and everything. This song hits me on a personal level and I love it!.

[RetroJay]

There are some bands and artists, like them or not! they somehow produce magic from nowhere! This is one of those songs that is just amazing. Music like this abosrbs me to the point I am listening at how it was put together, how each sound was recorded. The vocals, everything. Music like this is RARE these days! goodstuff is out there you just have to find it, its always there buried under the crap that seems to always be rammed down our throats these days.

[krystelmoncayo]

Oh, the king
Gone mad within his suffering
Called out for relief
Someone cure him of his grief

His only son
Cut down, but the battle won
Oh, what is it worth
When all that's left is hurt

Like the stars chase the sun
Over the glowing hill, I will conquer
Blood is running deep
Some things never sleep

Suddenly I'm overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you're driving me away

Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want
Cause you're driving me away

Oh, the queen of peace
Always does her best to please
Is it any use
Somebody's gotta lose

Like a long stream
I'll bear all this echoing
Oh, what is it worth
All that's left is hurt

Like the stars chase the sun
Over the glowing hill, I will conquer
Blood is running deep
Some things never sleep

Suddenly I'm overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you're driving me away

Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want
Cause you're driving me away

And my love is no good
Against the fortress that it made of you
Blood is running deep
Sorrow that you keep

Suddenly I'm overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you're driving me away

Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want
Cause you're driving me away

[canelaaa]

Like the stars chase the sun
Over the glowing hill, I will conquer
Blood is running deep

Some things never sleep


Best part of the song

[AerithGreatGospel]

Hands-down my favorite F+TM song and I've listened since the beginning (2009).

[geoforamorio]

Από το καλύτερα τραγούδια τους... one of their best songs, with amazing vocals! <3

[crushthyflowerss]

The story in "Queen of Peace" reminds me a lot of Shakespeare's "King Lear".

[luigilombardi]

stupenda voce, fa sognare è incredibile

[sabrinamccoff]

I've never had goosebumps on my head but this song made me have them :/

[OneEsk]

It took a while, but thise one is definitely the same quality as her ''old songs''. Love it!

[Metallic_Ashes]

BRUH this song is actually amazing I'm actually really surprised it hasn't reached a higher level of popularity :/

[throughthelens]

Favorite song from this album! Closer to her other anthemic album Ceremonials :]

[daveriva]

I love you Florence...i love The perfect music!!! Amazing!!!

[.]

Can't stop listening to this. This should be playing on the radio 24/7 instead of those stupid songs !

[luizs]

this is the radio edit. the album version lasts 5:07.

[thecc]

how come that we did not realize this was brilliant?

[dexie]

this feels empowering me, or made me go on combat mode

[ianlambert]

something almost medieval about this song but exiting too !

[lacygorman]

Hey there, Sisters of Wyrd. Hope everyone is having a better time of it, now that warble of Ending the Definition of Insanity is settling down a bit.
Love, Lacy
