Death Knell for a King

Too long you've ruled us with impunity Corrupt, sadistic, unfit to reign Now we the people have risen against you in unity To rid this kingdom of your stain The world is baying for your blood You're finished, alone and on the run Heed - a death knell for a king A death kneel for a king No refuge is safe for you Can you hear the death bells ring Many would like to see your head served on a plate A hollow banquet on which to feed Scant revenge by the state Sill many would gladly do the deed Former comrades will not cry They're lining up to see you die Heed - a death knell for a king A death kneel for a king Your downfall you caused it all Hear the death bell ring The hounds are closing in, no place to hide Even as we pull your palace down Infernal doom awaits you on the other side A knave turned king who sold his crown Your crimes of war can't be ignored And now we put you to the sword Heed the death knell Heed the death knell Heed the death knell Heed a death knell for a king No refuge is safe for you Can you hear the death bells ring
