Pulling together the biblical sound and isolation of the bygone days of revelation with an atmosphere filled with hope and salvation, King Dude has woven his own brand of American music. He brandishes many varied influences in his songwriting. Everything from British Folk, Americana, Country and Blues can be heard in his songs. Even the heavier sounds of Heavy Metal tend to sneak and slither it's way into the King Dude canon. The resulting songs are much more of a modern day hymn then average pop song.
Our Love Will Carry On
King Dude Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
near the land that I ...
she wore a red dress
Thought i couldn't care less
she's as beautiful now
as on the very first day that we met
I was dead and alone
and I held what I owned
that i've tried to disowned
since the day I was born
the devil has made me his home
She wasn't the same
when she called out my name
like a raven who is lost
or a child in pain
she's haunted and drained
and i am the reason to blame
While I poured my last glass
as I've done in the past
and I'd do it again
if you give me the chance
if you give me a light
I would give you my last breath
And she said
Oh the dead have come and gone
Our love will carry on
and tho I'm praying for this evening to end
Our love will carry on
I looked in her eyes
the most beautiful eyes
I was sick in my thoughts
and i wanted to die
and i've prayed for the end
oh lord, how I prayed for the end
She reached for my hand and she kissed all its scars
Now the roses are dead and she fell in my arms
as we kissed on our lips
I fell back in the abyss
and she said
oh, the dead have come and gone
our love will carry on
and tho I'm praying for this evening to end
oh, our love will carry on...
The song "Our Love Will Carry On" by King Dude is a haunting yet beautiful ode to a love that cannot die, even in the face of darkness and sin. The song describes a man who has been living a life of indulgence and despair, holding onto a bottle of sin that he feels defines him. However, when he is reunited with a woman he once knew, he begins to see the beauty in life once again.
The woman is described as standing on a hill, wearing a red dress, and being as beautiful now as she was the day they met. Despite the man's troubled past and the darkness that surrounds him, the woman sees something in him worth saving. As they come together, the man begins to see the world in a different light, with the woman's love serving as a beacon of hope in the darkness of his life.
The chorus repeats the line "Oh the dead have come and gone, our love will carry on" several times, emphasizing the idea that even though people come and go in life, true love will endure. The song ends with the man and woman in each other's arms, the roses a metaphor for their love, and the man feeling as though he has finally found his way out of the abyss.

[Verse 1]
She stood on the hill
Near the land that I tilled
And she wore a red dress
Though I couldn't care less
She's as beautiful now
As on the very first day that we met
I was dead and alone
And I held what I owned
Just a bottle of sin that I've tried to disown
Since the day I was born
The devil has made me his home
She wasn't the same
When she called out my name
Like a raven who's lost
Or a child in pain
She is haunted and lame
And I am the reason to blame
Well, I've poured my last glass
As I've done in the past
And I'll do it again
If you give me the chance
If you give me a light
I will give you my last breath
(And she said...)
[Chorus]
"Oh, the dead have come and gone
Our love will carry on
And though I am praying for this evening to end
Our love will carry on"
[Verse 2]
I looked in her eyes
The most beautiful eyes
I was sick in my thoughts
And I wanted to die
And I prayed for the end
Oh Lord, how I prayed for the end

And she kissed all its scars
Now the roses are dead
And she fell in my arms
As we kissed on the lips
I fell back in the abyss
(And she said...)
[Chorus]
"Oh, the dead have come and gone
Our love will carry on
And though I am praying for this evening to end
Our love will carry on"
