Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Black dog drinks from the water
Tryin' to cool his tounge
Like the king finds no peace
His work is never done
Night falls, smoke on the water
Darkness closes in
Cold white hand in the deep
Will drown you for your sins
It's a lifelong expedition
Second-guessing your decisions
Tryin' to find out what's been missing
Pages keep on filling
Crying out, ooh, go and wake the king
Call to arms!
For those who kiss the ring
Stand your ground, the walls are comin' down
It's do or die
Do or die
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Mad man, blood on the alter
The Queen will have his head
His ghost will shake those rattling chains
Long after he's dead
No soul knows his trouble
High upon his throne
Loved by few, and judged by many
He bears that weight alone
It's a lifelong expedition
Second-guessing your decisions
Trying to find out what's been missing
And the pages keep on filling
Crying out, ooh go and wake the king
Call to arms!
For those who kiss the ring
Stand your ground, yeah, the walls are comin' down
It's do or die
Do or die
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
