Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Black dog
Drinks from the water
Trying to cool his tongue
Like the king
Finds no peace
His work is never done
Night falls
Smoke on the water
Darkness closes in
Cold white hand, in the deep
Will drown you for your sin
It's a life long expedition
Second guessing your decisions
Trying to find out what's been missing
They just keep on fitting
Crying out
Go and wake the king
Call to arms
For those who kiss the ring
Stand your ground
The walls are coming down
It's do or die
Do or die
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Mad man
Blood on the alter
The Queen will have his head
His ghost will shake those rattling chains
Long after he's dead
No soul, knows he is trouble
High upon his throne
Loved by few and judged by many
He bares that weight alone
It's a life long expedition
Second guessing your decisions
Trying to find out what's been missing
They just keep on fitting
Crying out
Go and wake the king
Call to arms
For those who kiss the ring
Stand your ground
The walls are coming down
It's do or die
Do or die
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
