[Intro – heavy stomp, locked groove] Dust kicks up— Ground shakes— [RIFF DROPS] [Verse 1] Colt in the street—no crown, no throne King steps in—He stands alone Branches fall at His command They shout His name—but don’t understand “Hosanna!”—they scream it loud But power don’t come from a crowd No gold— No blade— Still every knee will bow one day [Pre-Chorus – stripped, tense] No throne— No sword— Still He is Lord— [BREAK] [Chorus – HIT HARD] THE KING RIDES IN NO SWORD—NO CROWN DON’T NEED YOUR POWER TO TAKE THIS GROUND THE KING RIDES IN NO THRONE—NO NAME HE IS THE FIRE YOU CAN’T CONTAIN [Verse 2 – heavier, more forceful] Cloaks in the dirt where the people kneel But He don’t move for what they feel Same hands raised will turn away Same mouths shout then curse His name City stands but He sees through Every lie they’re clingin to He don’t bend— He don’t break— Truth don’t move for their mistakes [Pre-Chorus] No praise— No crown— Still He holds it down— [BREAK] [Chorus] THE KING RIDES IN NO SWORD—NO CROWN DON’T NEED YOUR POWER TO TAKE THIS GROUND THE KING RIDES IN NO THRONE—NO NAME HE IS THE FIRE YOU CAN’T CONTAIN [Breakdown – grinding groove] No army— No war— Still He settles every score— No throne— No sign— Still controls all space and time— [Build – rising pressure] Every step— Every breath— Walkin straight toward death— [FINAL BREAK – FULL STOP] [Final Chorus – biggest, dominant] THE KING RIDES IN NO TURNING BACK EVERY STEP IS A FINAL ACT THE KING RIDES IN NO CROWN—NO SWORD HE DON’T NEED THEM— HE IS LORD [Outro – heavy, slow] Hosanna… Say His name…
