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.
Broken down, feeling naked
Leaving me unfulfilled
Promising compromise
Championing mediocrity
Time and time again
What you said ain't what you mean
Even if all my bones are broken
I will drag myself back from the edge to
Kill the king, the king is dead, long live the king
I am the king, God save the king!
Kill the king, the king is dead
I am the king, long live the king
I reveal a deceiver
In the highest seat in the land
His idle hands the devil's workshop
Generate more smoke than heat
Time and time again
What you said ain't what you mean
Even if all my bones are broken
I will drag myself back from the edge to
Kill the king, the king is dead, long live the king
I am the king, God save the king!
A new precedent in pain, a new precedent in pain
Mankind is blown to dust, mankind is blown to dust
An explosion of the brain, an explosion of the brain
Spontaneously combust, spontaneously combust
Kill the king, the king is dead, long live the king
I am the king
