[Verse] I will wear this crown for the love of my people I will carry it across the land I will rule with strength and with wisdom And when I fall it will be into the sand [Chorus] And the people say "Long live the King" And the people say "Long live the King" And the people say "Long live the King" And the people say "Long live the King" [Verse] I will wear this crown for the love of my people The burden weighs heavy on my soul I will take up arms and defend them I will protect the young and the old [Chorus] And the people say "Long live the King" And the people say "Long live the King" And the people say "Long live the King" And the people say "Long live the King" [Bridge] My people are dying Their children are crying And I know that they're lying But they're worth it My people are dying Their children are crying And I know that they're lying But they're worth it [Chorus] And the people say "Long live the King" And the people say "Long live the King" And the people say "Long live the King" And the people say "Long live the King"
