“Lonely King” is a tribute to popular Minecraft player Quackity. This song is based off his character on the Minecraft roleplay server, the Dream SMP.
CG5 made this song after promising to make a Quackity song if he did a “Try Not To Laugh” challenge and lost, which he did. It is the third song CG5...
[Intro]
He-he-he-he-heh
Yeah, hey! (Hmm, glory, glory)
[Chorus]
The role of the king is a lonely one to play
But cards in the ring have been dealt in the wrong way!
The role of the king is a lonely one to play
No matter the lives of the people before me
All that I seek is the path to glory, glory (Hmm, glory, glory)
[Verse 1]
Chips in my pocket and blood stains on my hands
I'm building my legacy right here in the sand!
I'll stay until the end and watch it go down in flames!
Yeah, maybe the path is gory
Whatever it takes to get my glory, glory (Hmm, glory, glory)
[Bridge]
I was told I had to walk away
Leave my enemies to rot in their own grave
But scars don't heal, I've given blood a taste
I'll fake the smile they've seen before
They'll see I am so much more
[Drop]
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ooh, yeah! So!
[Verse 2]
The rule of the land, it's so crucial to obey
Believe in yourself, or you won't be appreciated!
Don't you overthink it, just do what I say!
Lay the politics out before me
Whatever it takes to get my glory (Hmm, glory, glory)
[Bridge]
You! You need all the power and the fame!
'Cause that's the game
You've been kicked into the sand
I've built something better than
What you could ever dream of on your own
[Orchestral Interlude]
[Chorus]
The role of the king is a lonely one to play
But cards in the ring have been dealt in the wrong way!
The role of the king is a lonely one to play
No matter the lives of the people before me
All that I seek is the path to glory!
[Outro]
(Hmm, glory, glory) My legacy (Glory, glory)
My glory, ah! (Hmm, glory, glory)
