This is about duty, but it’s also a tribute to John Kalodner, who signed us to Geffen [Records]. John is a very sincere, real person. He was an integral part of this record. Our nickname for him is King; there’s no denying his kingly qualities. He’s a man of honor, of principle and belief. And he’s...
Now is the time to reach for the sky
Gather the wind, hear the voice to fly
To know why they sing
About heroes and kings
Who were brave and not afraid to die
Look and you'll see
That a new day will bring
The will to go on and fight
Through endless suffering
For all who believe wait a crown, a ring
The power of the man
Who would be king
The power of the man
Who would be king
Into the fight of hopes and dreams
The master of the wind
Knows nothing's what it seems
The melting of the soul
The wish of those who scheme
The taking of the will
By destroyers of the dream
They live to spread the fear
Of the wrong of right of self
They want us all to live
Like books upon a shelf
But we know we have the power
To fight and make a stand
Strike when we are challenged
All across the land
To be king
Fight for the crown, fight for the ring
We're fighting the world
We fight for the king
Time to face the world
Let brothers never fight
Forever forge ahead and
Keep the dream in sight
For those who never try
They are sure to fail
The heart's a righteous wind
That comes to fill the sail
For the glory of the king
We fight to stay alive
By the power of the will
The spirit to survive
To be king
Fight for the crown, fight for the ring
We're fighting the world
We fight for the king
All of the dreams held deep inside
Have a meaning to the soul
Freedom to bring a thought to the wing
Is waiting to unfold
For the crown and the ring
The power of the man
Who would be king
Fight for the crown, fight for the ring
We're fighting the world
We fight for the king
For the glory of the king
We fight to stay alive, fight
By the power of the will
The spirit to survive, fight
Across the gates of Heaven
Beyond the gates of Hell, fight
We fought to stay together
We have won and lived to tell
Would be king
Fight for the crown, fight for the ring
We're fighting the world
We fight for the king
To be king
Fight for the crown, fight for the ring
We're fighting the world
We fight for the king
Would be king
Fight for the crown, fight for the ring
We're fighting the world
We fight for the king
Would be king
Fight for the crown, fight for the ring
We're fighting the world
We fight for the king
