Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Broken down, feeling naked

Leaving me unfulfilled

Promising compromise

Championing mediocrity

[Verse 2]

Time and time again

What you said ain't what you mean

Even if all my bones are broken

I will drag myself back from the edge to

[Verse 3]

Kill the King, the King is dead, long live the King

Kill the King, the King is dead, long live the King

I am the King

God save the King

[Verse 4]

Kill the King, the King is dead

I am the King, long live the King

Kill the King, the King is dead

I am the King, long live the King

[Verse 5]

I reveal a deceiver

In the highest seat in the land

His idle hands the Devil's workshop

Generate more smoke than heat

[Verse 6]

Time and time again

What you said ain't what you mean

Even if all my bones are broken

I will drag myself back from the edge to

[Verse 7]

Kill the King, the King is dead, long live the King

Kill the King, the King is dead, long live the King

I am the King

God save the King

[Verse 8]

A new precedent in pain

Mankind is blown to dust

An explosion of the brain

Spontaneously combust

[Verse 9]

Kill the King, the King is dead, long live the King

(I am the King)

Kill the King, the King is dead, long live the King

(I am the King)

Kill the King, the King is dead, long live the King

(I am the King)

Kill the King, the King is dead, long live the King

I am the King
