LYRICS:
I used to be the king
But they took everything
They even stole my crown
I’m gonna track you down
Watch your back my friend
I’m about to kickstart a cycle
Of never ending revenge
And this time it’s primal, it’s tribal
All our drawbridges are up
Is this a wind up?
I used to be a charmer
But now there’s holes in my armour, fuck!
I can’t walk away, I can’t walk away
I got all this pride, all this shame, all this anger to obey
“Well if it’s revenge you seek,
Then be sure to dig two graves”
Why? One for my enemy
And fucking one for you, preferably
I just want to be adored
And I’ll die by my own sword, thanks
I trust no one, as I prowl under the amber streetlamps
All our drawbridges are up
Is this a wind up?
I grab my sword and swing
But I go and pull my hamstring, fuck!
