lyrics

Heavy Is The Crown

Help is what you seek
Your king makes promises he never meant to keep
Tonight we end what shouldn't have started
We feed the hungry eyes who are starving
Freedom is at stake
And make no mistake
Tonight we ride
Tonight we dine
Silver plate, His head
We come to take the crown
Crumble the gates to the ground
I'll have their blood on my hands
Castle to sand, will leave them feeling buried alive
This land, was run by the damned
They'll dig their graves
We'll leave them hang or buried alive
Tonight we march my soldiers
Onward! Onward!
Help! Cries of the weak
It wouldn't take a real man to kill you in your sleep
Hear that sound?
It's the hundreds that surround
They came all this way, and they want to see the king
You don't have to explain
They only came for one thing; we only came for one thing
Bring out the dead
Tonight we tread
Bring out the dead
His majesty has fled
He won't get far
Hunt him down
Like a dog
Release the hounds
Onward! To victory
His head,
They come to watch you fall,
Brick by brick and wall by wall
Your kingdom turned to sand
It's slipping through your hands
They have been waiting
How they've been waiting
Yes, the king is finally dead
You only wanted change
You've been waiting for forever
And It never came
He bore the mark of shame
They're chanting my name
You've been waiting for forever
Now I am your king
Vicious pain
To live with these decisions
In a land fit for a king
Heavy is the crown
Hear the sounds
They've been waiting for forever
Now I am their King.
