Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Em Em C C D D
Listen as the crowd would sing
G G Em Em
Now the old king is dead Long live the King

One minute I held the key

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

It was the wicked and wild wind
G G Em Em
Blew down the doors to let me in
C C D D
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
G G Em Em
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Em Em C C D D
Revolutionaries wait
G G Em Em
For my head on a silver plate
Em Em C C D D
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G G Em Em
Oh who would ever want to be king

(D D D D DUX) (U UX UDUX U)
