Biography:
King Charles is a singer-songwriter whose sound has been described as everything from psychedelic rock to folk-pop. Born and raised in London, Charles fell in love with country music, took up the guitar, and was writing his own music by the age of 17.
Following a year at Durham University, Charles returned to London in 2007 without a degree but with the new moniker 'King Charles'. He formed a band, Adventure Playground, who along with other like-minded souls, made West London's Bosun’s Locker their base.

C#m A
You say your love for me has waned from the storm
C#m A
Your passions have fallen from the flames of old
E A
If ever you loved me if ever at all
B A C#m
And our souls are tied forever more
C#m
Well I got stopped at terminal four the other day
E
They said I looked like a terrorist at play
A
I told them to believe it
I'm here to cause seizures
B E
Staring at the demons in the darkest and the deepest
C#m
Well I'm a lion in the haze and a lamb in the lightening
E
All the spears and chains and flames around my neck are tightening
A
So line up your armies burn down my home please
B E
Take the breath that's in my lungs and the song I'm singing
C#m A
You say your love for me has waned from the storm
C#m A
Your passions have fallen from the flames of old
E A
If ever you loved me if ever at all

Our souls are tied forever more

Of course there is another place where my heart will learn again to beat
E
Another land another king where I will need to sing
A
But my soul can't be yours can't be bought by gold
B E
All the lovers in the land know the wise man from the fool
C#m
Cause there ain't no soul in this empty sea
E
Competition for the darkness to be the kings and queens

Cause darkness is found as an absence of light
