Lyrics Orange Goblin – Heavy Lies The Crown
Text:
Oh lord, my world is coming down
I think my ship has run aground
It’s been a fight since I was born
I lost my bearings in the storm
No shining light to set me free
I’ve got to try to carry on
Don’t wanna be the failed son
Time and tide, live for today
Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools
How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand
Fire roars, upon the sores that carry heroes off to war
Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear
A simple man, I stand alone
I’m only flesh and blood and bone
But I will fight for my beliefs
And I will set my people free
This land was built by hands of men
And I’ll return to rules again
And take my place upon the throne
To build a kingdom of my own
Time and tide, live for today
Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools
How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand
Fire roars, upon the sores that carry heroes off to war
Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear
We stand for truth and honour
And on the morning tide
We head to war together
Beneath the Northern sky
Into the field of battle
I wear the crown with pride
Til’ death, there’s no surrender
But if I fall and die
I pray the Valkyrie will carry me home…
To Valhalla. Field of Thunder.
Halls of Power. Torn Asunder…….and heavy lies the crown
