Lyrics
God, save the king
The king of kings
Bow down to the, bow down to the king
Bow down, bow down to the king
The king had to laugh as he walked from the grave
At the ignorant fools and the lives that they gave
He forced out a tear, the words of faint praise
As the priest with its prayer sent their souls on their way
The king wants you dead
The king wants your head
Bow down to the, bow down to the king
Bow down to, bow down to the king
Bow down to, bow down to the king
The king's never questioned, the king's never wrong
Peasants soon learned that their lives won't last long
As they lay defeated, and the breath slips away
The kingdoms will fall and you peasants will pay
The king wants you dead
The king wants your head
Bow down to the, bow down to the king
Bow down to, bow down to the king
Bow down to the, bow down to the king
Ha!
God, save the king
The king of kings
God, save the king
The king of kings
Bow down, bow down to the—
Bow down, bow down to the—
Bow down, bow down to the—
Bow down (Get down on your knees), bow down to the—
(The king of kings) Bow down, bow down to the—
(I do what I please) Bow down (The king of kings), bow down to the king
God, save the king
The king of kings
Bow down to, bow down to the king
Bow down to the, bow down to the king
God, save the king
The king of kings
