King

I PROWL THE EARTH FOR 
ALL ITS WORTH
I BIDE MY TIME WAITING 
TO COMMITE THAT AWFUL CRIME 
ATRACTING FOLLOWERS AM 
SURE HE WOULD
LOKING FOR VICTIM 
TO SHED HIS BLOOD
INFLICTING PAIN FOR 
FINANCIAL GAIN
LOOKING FOR SCAPEGOAT 
TO TAKE THE BLAME
FOOL YOU NOT 
ILE TAKE THE LOT
TAX THE LAND 
HES CLOSE AT HAND
ENFORCE THE LAW 
CORRUPT AM SURE
PAY THE PRICE 
OR FACE THE DICE
CHAINS ON ME 
AM TOLD AM FREE
IS THIS THE WAY
ITS MEANT TO BE
LONG LIVE THE KING 
AM TOLD TO SING
VALLEY OF DEATH 
TAKE A DEEP BREATH
