Kill the King
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Satanic, born on the dark side (the dark side)
My mother screaming my name (my mother screaming my name)
Mine is a heartless story, banished like the embers by the rain
This manic dawn is my birthright (my birthright)
Insanity fuels my veins (insanity fuels my veins)
My passion fused with fury, raveged, and my wounds incite the pain
I wanna kill the King of Britain dead
I wanna thrust a knife deep in his chest
I wanna feel and see his blood run red
I cannot rest till I am King
For no man's fool, am I?
I'll kill the King, I wanna see him dead
I wanna seize his Kingdom, gonna take his head
I wanna kill the King and rule myself instead
My demons testify, (supreme) I will not be denied again
Grey shadows caught in the half-light (the half-light)
Is what I've seen pre-ordained? (Is what I've seen pre-ordained?)
Destiny, hope and glory, balanced by the gloom inside the grave
I've rallied thieves, thugs and low lives
My band of mercenary strays (my band of mercenary strays)
And when I'm King they'll deal my justice with the swiftness of a blade
I wanna kill the King of Britain dead
I wanna thrust a knife deep in his chest
I wanna feel and see his blood run red
I cannot rest till I am King
For no man's fool, am I?
I'll kill the King, I wanna see him dead
I wanna seize his Kingdom, gonna take his head
I wanna kill the King and rule myself instead
My demons testify, (supreme) I will not be denied again
I'll kill the King, I wanna see him dead
I wanna seize his Kingdom, gonna take his head
I wanna kill the King and rule myself instead
My demons testify, (supreme) I will not be denied again
I wanna kill the King of Britain dead
I wanna thrust a knife deep in his chest
I wanna feel and see his blood run red
I cannot rest till I am King
For no man's fool, am I?
I'll kill the King, I wanna see him dead
I wanna seize his Kingdom, gonna take his head
I wanna kill the King and rule myself instead
My demons testify, (supreme) I will not be denied again
I'll kill the King, I wanna see him dead
I wanna seize his Kingdom, gonna take his head
I wanna kill the King and rule myself instead
My demons testify, (supreme) I will not be denied again
