Long Live The King

(专辑： Upright Animals - 2022)

Long live the king
Long live the king

The king's got his new clothes
Throw to the wolves
Those who would dare to oppose
Blood it will spill
Heads they will roll
Down the steps of Capitol Hill

Trade safety, for silence
New master, same violence
Obey thee, almighty

Long live the king
Bless me with authority
Rule over me
Or from the gallows I will swing
Long live the king

Fit for the same crown
As his father before him
Where they walk you worship the ground
Blood it will spill
And the earth will shake
As the hangman savors the kill

Trade safety, for silence
New master, same violence
Live freely, on your knees

Long live the king
Bless me with authority
Rule over me
Or from the gallows I will swing

The people have spoken, your new god is here
Let them all hate him, so long as they fear
So say it with me now
Louder we sing
Holy art thou
Long live the king
Long live the king

Now it's the season for treason
With a raised fist
The disloyal to the royal
Make the watch list
Justice lifts her fold to tip the scales
A poison drips from the mouth that sips the holy grail

Long live the king
Bless me with authority
Rule over me
Or from the gallows I will swing

Long live the king
Bless me with authority
Rule over me
Or from the gallows I will swing
Long live

The people have spoken, your new god is here
Let them all hate him, so long as they fear
So say it with me now
Louder we sing

Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
