[Intro – Spoken, no music] Power’s not a blessing, it’s a dare. Everyone wants the crown— Nobody wants the headache. Let them try. [Verse 1 – sung] Midnight eyes, I never sleep, Gold on my head, secrets I keep. Smiles cut sharper than a knife— Every throne comes with a price. [Chorus] Uneasy is the king who never bows, Daggers in the dark, I count the shadows now. Keep your pity, keep your praise— I’d trade a friend for a kingdom any day. [Verse 2] Wicked grin, I rule the game, Every ally knows my name. Heavy lies the crown? I make it look light— Fear is my scepter, darkness my right. [Chorus] Uneasy is the king who never bows, Daggers in the dark, I count the shadows now. Keep your pity, keep your praise— I’d trade a friend for a kingdom any day. [Bridge – spoken, spöttisch] They whisper treason—let them talk. Crowns are for wolves, not for sheep who flock. [Chorus – repeat] Uneasy is the king who never bows, Daggers in the dark, I count the shadows now. Let the crown dig in, let it scar my brow— Still standing tall, I’ll never bow. [Outro] If you want the crown— Come and take it.
