  • Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
    Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid
    Children roam the streets now orphans of war
    Bodies hangin' in the streets to adore
    Royal flames will carve a path in chaos
    Bringing daylight to the night (night)
    Death is riding into town with armor
    They've come to take all your rights

    Hail to the King
    Hail to the one
    Kneel to the crown
    Stand in the sun
    Hail to the King
    (Hail, hail, hail)
    (The King)

    Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne
    Born again but it's too late to atone
    No mercy from the edge of the blade
    Dare escape and learn the price to be paid
    Let the water flow with shades of red now
    Arrows black out all the light (light)
    Death is riding into town with armor
    They've come to grant you your rights

    Hail to the King
    Hail to the one
    Kneel to the crown
    Stand in the sun
    Hail to the King
    (Hail, hail, hail)
    (The King)

    There's a taste of fear (hail, hail, hail)
    When the henchmen call (hail, hail, hail)
    Iron fist to tame them (hail, hail, hail)
    Iron fist to claim it all

    Hail to the King
    Hail to the one
    Kneel to the crown
    Stand in the sun
    Hail to the King
    Hail to the one
    Kneel to the crown
    Stand in the sun
    Hail to the King
    (Hail, hail, hail) Writer/s: Brian Haner, Jonathan Seward, Matthew Sanders, Zachary Baker
