lyrics

RULE OF 19

VERSE
With my handkerchief raised
To the invisible plague
Having me a parade with the shut-ins
Eyes glued to the news
Some called it a ruse
But some have been fast tracked to the heavens
In my self quarantine
It’s the Rule of 19
Just watch what you bring
If you come over for tea
And stay six feet away
If we walk into the day
The Crown in its wrath is multiplying

CHORUS
Unseen to the eye
They say it's wartime
But I couldn't find
Fighter jets in the sky
Warships in the sea
The Rule of 19

VERSE
Corona Corona
Where’d you begin?
You brought my spinning wheels into submission
Slowed down my pace
And made me look in
Putting my stars where they always should have been
In my surgical mask
Contagion your path
We’ll call you the most wanted villain
Name unknown to none
You’ve come for our lungs
The cards have been stacked but our humanity won

CHORUS
The Crown has arrived
They say it's wartime
But I couldn't see
Fighter jets in the sky
Warships in the sea
Is it coming for me?

You've slowed down our time
Kept us inside
With quarantine lives
Separated unseen
But together we'll beat
The Rule of 19

BRIDGE
Under skies of blue
We'll soon be rid of you
Crown of Spikes

OUTRO
With Your Crown of Spikes
They say its wartime
But I couldn’t see
Fighter jets in the sky
Together we’ll be
One Tribe in the fight
