Nazareth Lyrics

"The King Is Dead" lyrics


(copyright Nazareth, Tiflis Tunes, inc.-ascap)

I have not come to worship you
Or lay flowers at your throne

I have not come to plead or beg
Or to claim what is my own

Oh, I know you are the King
And you say your word is Law

I have come to cut you down
And to leave your body dead

You do not mean so much to me
Nor that crown upon your head

You are just the same as me
You are only flesh and blood
And the time has come
For you to die.

And now you plead, please spare my life
You know, I'm the Chosen One

I don't believe what you've decreed
And I must do what must be done

You say you're the only king
But your words just fall like rain
And the time has come
For you to die.
