Nazareth - The King Is Dead lyrics

(copyright Nazareth, Tiflis Tunes,inc.-ascap)

I have not come to worship you

Or lay flowers at your throne

I have not come to plead or beg

Or to claim what is my own

Oh I know you are the King

And you say your word is Law

I have come to cut you down

And to leave your body dead

You do not mean so much to me

nor that crown upon your head

You are just the same as me

You are only flesh and blood

And the time has come

for you to die

And now you plead, please spare my life

You know I,m The Chosen One

I don't believe,what you've decreed

and I must do what must be done

You say you're the only king

but your words just fall like rain

And the time has come

For you to die!!!!
