lyrics

Verse
If I were king, sat on that throne.
Royal blood, royal bones.
I’d be home, staff in hand,
Regal gowns of valiance.
All the land; my own.
Its souls: mine to hold.
Oh my praise, you would sing.
If I were king.

If I were king, I’d rein supreme.
Only the sun’s power succeeds.
The bards and the bastards, the peasants,
the pastors would sing my name. Sing my name!
I’m a man of magnificence, truly benevolent.
A man worthy of Godly imply.
Oh the scribes would write this.
If I were king.

Chorus
Oh let the war rage on.
As we storm; fathers and sons.
Into the waves, trample our graves,
We’re martyrs, they say.
For country and King,
The men, they all sing.
proclaiming aloud, the death they will bring.
Blissfully blinded, how sad, how final their fate.

Verse 2
If I were king, I’d be God.
I’d be death, destroyer of all.
An illustrious image of kingly renown.
My presence alone could silence a town.
The dukes and the jesters, the thane, and the lancers
would fear my name, fear my name!
My wrath is distinguished, I’m fucking majestic.
Oh, Lord.
If I were king.

Part 2
Oh the clouds blacken with death,
The air, thicker than blood, we stand our ground.
You can feel it, in your bones, chaos rings deep in our souls.
Rage on!
Pray for victory, or give us death.

Chorus

Verse 3
If I were king, I’d be home
Not alone dying and cold.
I’d be more than a pawn.
Left to rot, trampled and strewn.
I’d have love, I’d be free.
I would live endlessly.
(I’d) have no fear for anything.
If I were king.
