Heavy is the head that wears the crown Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Black dog drinks from the water Trying to cool his tongue 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 Trying 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 coming 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 altar The queen will have his head His ghosts 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 bares 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 coming 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
