King

Death beats equally at the gates
Of the poor man's and the great's
Duped so many and sealed your fate
From good we trusted to gold-encrusted

They say kings can destroy
Mountains and seas
With simple decrees
You are no king to me
When you stole my wings
You wrote Sleeping Beauty

Oh, Mighty King
What'll you do when they come for your head?
Oh, Mighty King
Locked in your castle
Curled up in your bed

The throne is just a bench
Covered in velvet, crammed full of dead crest
And when you feel aggressed
You ruffle your feathers and puff out your chest
We are so impressed

Is it lonely at the top?
Is the paranoia setting in?
Did you get everything you stole for?
Mirror mirror, who's the bigly man?

When you burn it all down
And there's no one around
To witness or clean up your mess
Do your rails make a sound
When there's no one left?

Oh, Mighty King
What'll you do when they come for your head?
Oh, Mighty King
Locked in your castle
Curled up in your bed

The only place for kings
Is safe in a deck or lost in a checkmate
You sold your soul for strings
Gave you my love but you needed a kingdom
How the mighty rise

When you burn it all down
And there's no one around
To witness or clean up your mess
Do your rails make a sound
When there's no one left?

Oh, Mighty King
What'll you do when they come for your head?
Oh, Mighty King
Locked in your castle
Curled up in your bed

Oh, Mighty King
What'll you do when I come for your head?
Oh, Mighty King
Locked in your castle
Curled up in your bed
