Lyrics
Long Live 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.
Locked in the tower of the castle wall, there's a stranger
Waiting for his day
And things that he'd say
To bring down the old one
High above the ranks of greed and confusion
Almost half asleep, in the belly of the beast
Awaits a Monster
The King is dead
And the world is set on fire
And we all scream, Long live the King
Long live the King
Long live the King
There's an army of a million men at the gate
Looking for a war to wage
Like an actor with no stage
Or someone to feed them
There is no beginning and there is no end
All just take the seat
Stuck there on repeat
And they'll do it again and again and again and again
I said
The King is dead
And the world is set on fire
And we all scream, Long live the King
