Kill The King

I've never think that the end could be near
So bring me back
Running around in a
Bump in the road
That we all be pride
General I don't cause great big fame
It's the game
It ain't all that real
I've taken by cup
Of the time of being
And we all reign by
You save the world
Every time you walk in the room
What you do
You alone could save my soul
With just your smile makes me think
That I could kill the king, kill the king
Just your laugh makes me know that
I'd kill the king, kill him
Besides you've got to give out
Believe in all your dreaming
Raze it down
They all may see you reign
I'm praying
And I'll get in line
And all the king's horses and
All the king's men
They will all stand down
'cause they'll see what I see
And I know that what is certain
You all get in lines, yeah
You save the world
Every time you walk in the room
What you do
You alone can save my soul
With just your smile makes me
Think that I
Could kill the king, kill the king
Just your laugh makes me know
I can raise the robe
Oh I take his throne, make it my own
Oh I can take his throne
Reign it, love
Take the rights over
Come on, come on
Yeah, yeah
Come on, come on
Yeah, yeah
You burn it down
Come on, come on
Yeah, yeah
Come on, come on
Yeah, yeah
Down to the ground
If God put in our hands
All this our
I believe that we are one
Save the world
Every time you walk in the room
What you do
You alone could save my soul
With just your smile makes me
Think that I
Could kill the king, kill the king
Just your laugh makes me know that I can
Kill the king, kill him
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Down to the ground
Yeah, yeah
Down to the ground
Come on, come on
Yeah, yeah
Come on, come on
Yeah, yeah
Burn it down
Come on, come on
Yeah, yeah
Come on, come on
Yeah, yeah
Down to the ground
