  • 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 sin

    It's a life long expedition
    Second guessing your decisions
    Trying to find out what's been missing
    Pages keep on filling

    Crying out
    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 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
    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
