[Chorus]
I used to be the king
But they took everything
They even stole my crown
I'm gonna track you down, rah
[Post-Chorus]
Rah
I'm gonna track you down, rah
[Verse 1]
Watch your back, my friend
I'm about to kick start a cycle
Of never ending revenge
And this time it's primal, it's tribal
All our drawbridges are up, is this a wind up?
I used to be a charmer, but now there's holes in my armor, fuck
[Chorus]
I used to be the king
But they took everything
They even stole my crown
I'm gonna track you down, rah
I used to be the king
But they took everything
They even stole my crown
I'm gonna track you down, rah
[Verse 2]
I can't walk away, I can't walk away
I've got all this pride, all this shame, all this anger to obey

One for my enemy and fucking one for you, preferably
I just want to be adored, and I'll die by my own sword
Thanks, I trust no one as I prowl under the amber street lamps
All our drawbridges are up, is this a windup?
I grab my sword and swing, but I go and pull my hamstring, fuck
[Chorus]
I used to be the king
But they took everything
They even sold my crown
I'm gonna track you down, rah
I used to be the king
But they took everything
They even stole my crown
I'm gonna track you down, rah
[Bridge]
I used to be the king
But they took everything
They even stole my crown
I'm gonna track you down
[Chorus]
(I used to be the king) I used to be the king
(But they took everything) But they took everything
(They even stole my crown) They even stole my crown
(I'm gonna track you down) I'm gonna track, I'm gonna track you down
[Outro]
Rah
Rah
I'm gonna track—

It’s very upbeat and has tongue-in-cheek moments, looking at the ridiculous nature of revenge. It’s got silly lyrics, like ‘I used to be a charmer/But now there’s holes in my armour’ and ‘I grab my sword and swing/But I go and pull my hamstring,’ which is meant to show we’re all trying to be tough,...
