Monarch of Misfortune (Evil Baroness cover)

[Instrumental Introduction] [Sharp, military-style snare rolls and commanding royal brass fanfares] [Furious, fast-paced string sections establish a dark, triumphant driving march] [Verse 1] Pour the wine and raise the golden glass And watch the silly, weeping heroes pass A silver plate, a sharp and wicked knife A simple game of chess with death and life You thought you had the clever upper hand? But I'm the only ruler of this land! [Verse 2] Look left, look right, my shadow's everywhere A sudden whisper on the marble stair I stole the keys, I changed the iron lock I turned back every single silver clock Your little rebel plans are cute, it's true But I am ten steps far ahead of you! [Pre-Chorus] [Bouncy but dramatic build-up with rising violins and playful, heavy horns] Oh, the grand tension starts to twist and grow Welcome to my private, final show! The stage is set, the trap is fully laid Enjoy the beautiful mess that I have made! [Chorus] [Epic and dark orchestral explosion, vocals are arrogant and highly expressive] Oh, it’s delightfully, grandly absurd! No need to say another single word! You cannot stop a genius, wicked mind The greatest villain you'll ever find! The brass will roar, the fallen world will cry, Watch the old empire burn and die! [Instrumental Break] [A highly energetic, fast-paced orchestral chase sequence] [Heavy timpani crashes and sharp horn blasts dominating the rhythm] [Verse 3] So check your pockets, check your useless gold The finest story that was ever told Is how a shadow took the royal throne And turned the living hearts to solid stone No deep regrets and no remorse today I love to ruin your perfect, sunny day! [Chorus] [Full theatrical explosion, chaotic brass and driving violins at maximum volume] Oh, it’s delightfully, grandly absurd! No need to say another single word! You cannot stop a genius, wicked mind The greatest villain you'll ever find! The brass will roar, the fallen world will cry, Watch the old empire burn and die!
