Lyrics The King - Therion

The King

He was a leader of a small gang
Committing crimes each day
But time has changed as he was proud
It’s a far away
He took living easy, his bad reputation
Oh it was known all around
But he didn’t care no, he made the demandings
Now he’s down and out
Thought he knew the tricks of life
Prowling in the dark
Now he’s left by all his friends
'Cause he lived apart, of them
He was a leader, a vicious survivor
His fame is covered with blood
Now he’s just a number, he lost all his power
The king has lost his face
Down down down, though the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down down down, though the king lost his crown
It’s too late — far too high
Late far too high
He was a leader of a small gang
Committing crimes each day
But time has changed as he was proud
It’s a far away
He took living easy, his bad reputation
Oh it was known all around
But he didn’t care no, he made the demandings
Now he’s down and out
Down down down, though the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down down down, though the king lost his crown
It’s too late — far too high
Down down down, though the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down down down, though the king lost his crown
It’s too late — far too high
Late far too high
