  • (Finders keepers, losers weepers)

    Welcome to the end of eras
    Ice has melted back to life
    Done my time and served my sentence
    Dress me up and watch me die
    If it feels good, tastes good
    It must be mine
    Dynasty decapitated
    You just might see a ghost tonight

    And if you don't know now you know

    I'm taking back the crown
    I'm all dressed up and naked
    I see what's mine and take it (finders keepers, losers weepers)
    Oh yeah
    The crown
    So close I can taste it
    I see what's mine and take it (finders keepers, losers weepers)
    Oh yeah

    Sycophants on velvet sofas
    Lavish mansions, vintage wine
    I am so much more than royal
    Snatch your chain and mace your eyes
    If it feels good, tastes good
    It must be mine
    Heroes always get remembered
    But you know legends never die

    And if you don't know now you know

    I'm taking back the crown
    I'm all dressed up and naked
    I see what's mine and take it (finders keepers, losers weepers)
    Oh yeah
    The crown
    So close I can taste it
    I see what's mine and take it (finders keepers, losers weepers)
    Oh yeah

    Mortal kings are ruling castles
    Welcome to my world of fun
    Liars settle into sockets
    Flip the switch and watch them run

    Oh yeah
    (Finders keepers, losers weepers)
    I'm taking back, back, taking back, back the crown
    I'm all dressed up and naked
    I see what's mine and take it (finders keepers, losers weepers)
    Oh yeah
    The crown
    So close I can taste it
    I see what's mine and take it (finders keepers, losers weepers)
    Oh yeah
