[Intro] Hey! Who is that man? Walking through the palace door Hey! Who is that man? We've never seen him here before [Verse] Born in Siberia, far from the throne A wandering mystic with a mind of his own He came with a story, a prayer and a name And somehow the palace would never be the same [Pre-Chorus] Whispers in the hallway Everybody knows He walks beside the royal family Wherever the empire goes [Chorus] Rasputin, Rasputin Everybody knows his name Rasputin, Rasputin Mysterious and strange Rasputin, Rasputin Dancing on the edge of power He came into the palace And took over every hour [Verse] The little prince was sick and the doctors had failed Then came the mystic with a story to tell The family believed him, they called him a friend And soon his influence seemed to have no end [Pre-Chorus] Whispers in the hallway Secrets in the night Some called him a holy man Some feared the man in sight [Chorus] Rasputin, Rasputin Everybody knows his name Rasputin, Rasputin Mysterious and strange Rasputin, Rasputin Dancing on the edge of power He came into the palace And took over every hour [Verse] He loved the wine, he loved the night He loved the women and the royal life The rumors grew louder, the nobles grew cold A dangerous story was starting to unfold [Bridge] They wanted him gone They wanted him dead But stories grew bigger With every word said A shadow at court A legend in the street The more they tried to silence him The louder came the beat [Chorus] Rasputin, Rasputin Everybody knows his name Rasputin, Rasputin Mysterious and strange Rasputin, Rasputin Dancing on the edge of power He came into the palace And took over every hour [Breakdown] Hey! Rasputin! Hey! Rasputin! Whispers in the palace Echo through the night Hey! Rasputin! Everybody's watching Everybody's talking Everybody's asking why [Final Chorus] Rasputin, Rasputin Everybody knows his name Rasputin, Rasputin A legend born from fame Rasputin, Rasputin Dancing on the edge of power He came into the palace And changed the final hour [Outro] Hey! Who was that man? Rasputin... Everybody knows his name.
