Heavy is the Crown - The Teeth

Help is what you seek

Your king makes promises he never meant to keep

Tonight we end what shouldn’t have started

We feed the hungry eyes who are starving

Freedom is at stake

And make no mistake

Tonight we ride

Tonight we dine

Silver plate, His head

We come to take the crown

Crumble the gates to the ground

I’ll have their blood on my hands

Castle to sand, will leave them feeling buried alive

This land, was run by the damned

They’ll dig their graves

We’ll leave them hang or buried alive

Tonight we march my soldiers

Onward!

Onward!

Help!

Cries of the weak

It wouldn’t take a real man to kill you in your sleep

Hear that sound?

It’s the hundreds that surround

They came all this way, and they want to see the king

You don’t have to explain

They only came for one thing;

we only came for one thing

Bring out the dead

Tonight we tread

Bring out the dead

His majesty has fled

He won’t get far

Hunt him down

Like a dog

Release the hounds

Onward!

To victory

His head,

They come to watch you fall,

Brick by brick and wall by wall

Your kingdom turned to sand

It’s slipping through your hands

They have been waiting

How they’ve been waiting

Yes, the king is finally dead

You only wanted change

You’ve been waiting for forever

And It never came

He bore the mark of shame

They’re chanting my name

You’ve been waiting for forever

Now I am your king

Vicious pain

To live with these decisions

In a land fit for a king

Heavy is the crown

Hear the sounds

They’ve been waiting for forever

Now I am their King.
