I have sung you a lifetime of praises
I've been faithful and followed the rules
Why implant this desire in my soul like a fire
And give somebody else the jewels
Oh father, why must you betray me?
After all I deserve but a glimpse
Just a touch of divine,
just a sip of your wine
Why oh why must you tease me like this?
When I am king
I'll have everything
The world will love me And I'll shine with the stars up above me
Oh when I,
I am king
Brother here I am unarmed and naked
I lay down my sword and you take it
You
wave it high in your hand like it's yours to
command And you ignore my request for a truce
Well I'm dying being taken for granted
And I'm dying coming out empty handed
It's a matter of time for that throne will
be mine And your head will have found a noose
When I am king I'll have everything The whole world will love me
And I'll shine with the stars up above me Oh when I,
I am king
