lyrics

In the heart of a would be king
Is a hole that's as big as he thinks he is
Where the hate and the greed and the anger live
In the heart of a would be king

In the soul of a would be king
It's as dark as the night and as cold as ice
Where the rays of Love never shine their light
In the soul of a would be king

In the life of a would be king
There's a past full of shame but he takes no blame
There's a truth that's concealed that won't be revealed
In the life of a would be king

The demands of a would be king
Leave your thoughts and ideas for him to fill
Leave your hopes and your dreams for him to kill
The demands of a would be king

In the eyes of a would be king
He sees himself always right. Do not question him
The chosen one , above us all, you must bow to him
In the eyes of a would be king

In the mind of a would be king
There's a door that is locked but there is no key
To the room of common sense that he's never seen
In the mind of a would be king

The desires of a would be king
What he wants, what he needs more than anything
To be loved and adored as a living Saint
Apotheosized, sanctified, idolized and praised
To be king of the world over everything
The desires of a would be king
