Hail to the King Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid
Children roam the streets, now orphans of war
Bodies hangin' in the streets to adore

[Pre-Chorus]
Royal flames will carve a path in chaos
Bringing daylight to the night
Death is riding into town with armor
They've come to take all your rights

[Chorus]
Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the king
(Hail! Hail! Hail)
The king

[Verse 2]
Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne
Born again, but it’s too late to atone
No mercy from the edge of the blade
Dare escape, and learn the price to be paid

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the water flow with shades of red now
Arrows black out all the light
Death is riding into town with armor
They've come to grant you your rights

[Chorus]
Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the king
(Hail! Hail! Hail!)
The king

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
There's a taste of fear
(Hail! Hail! Hail!)
When the henchmen call
(Hail! Hail! Hail!)
Iron fist to tame the land
(Hail! Hail! Hail!)
Iron fist to claim it all

[Chorus]
Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the king
(Hail! Hail! Hail!)
