Kill the King Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Danger, danger the queen's about to kill
There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill
Oh no, move away from harm
I need a spell and a charm
[Chorus]
Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king
Tear him down
Kill the king
Strike him down
[Verse 2]
Power, power it happens every day
Power, devour all along the way
Oh no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
[Chorus]
And fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Treason, treason, the specter looms again
Treason, reason, the realm is safe and then
Oh no, move away from harm
I need a spell and a charm
[Chorus]
Fly like the rainbow
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king
Tear him down
Kill the king, yeah
Got to take his crown down
[Outro]
Kill the king
He'll rule no more
Strike him dead
The people roar
Kill the king
Take his head
Down, down, down, down
Oh, kill
Oh, kill
Oh, oh
