The Crown

You break every promise

And think you're the king

I see it through

And wait in the wings

Try to deceive me

Deprive me of light

I don't have blue blood

But I am not blind

You may win this game

But at last you will fail

Take my pride, take my life

And the scepter from my hand

But you can't checkmate me

Tie me down, lock me up

But you'll never take my crown

You can't take the crown from me

An eye for an eye

Protected by pawns

Stack up your lies

Like bricks in the wall

Your castle's a dungeon

It's built on betrayal

Duty or choice

You'll never prevail

'Cause I have no fear

So long live the queen

Take my pride, take my life

And the scepter from my hand

But you can't checkmate me

Tie me down, lock me up

But you'll never take my crown

You can't take the crown from me

And I won't bow down on my knees for a deceiver

I won't shut up, I won't step back

They stand beside you and watch history repeating

We're on the edge, a double bind,

I won't resign, I won't resign.

An eye for an eye

A lie for a lie

An eye for an eye

Take my pride, take my life

And the scepter from my hand

But you can't checkmate me

Tie me down, lock me up

But you'll never take my crown

You can't take the crown from me

Can't take my crown away

You won't take the crown from me
