Queen's about to kill There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill Oh no move me out of harm I need a spell and a charm Fly like the wind I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the king Tear him down Kill the king, yeah Strike him down Power, power it happens every day Power, devour all along the way Oh no, move me out of harm I need a spell and a charm And fly like the wind I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the king Treason, treason, the spectre looms again Treason, reason, the realm is safe and then Oh no, move away from harm I need a spell and a charm Fly like the rainbow I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the king, yeah Got to take his crown Crown Kill the king He'll rule no more Strike him dead The people roar Kill the king, yeah Take his head Down, down, down, down Oh, kill Oh, kill Oh, oh **************************************************
