[Verse 1]
All you desire is waiting behind
These castle walls
The closer you get, the further they seem
What are the odds?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Did you deserve it? Have you paid the price?
The crown awaits you
[Chorus]
Say your prayers
Hear the choir sing your name:
Long live the mighty king
Just be prepared to lose it all
When they don't need you anymore
[Verse 2]
Wait at the gates while the bells chime
Hindered again
Reach through the thorns, only blue blood
Will get you in (will get you in)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Did you deserve it? Have you paid the price?
What else is left to sacrifice?
[Chorus]
Say your prayers
Hear the choir sing your name:
Long live the mighty king
Just be prepared to lose it all
When they don't need you anymore
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Did you deserve it? Have you paid the price?
The ruler of a doomed empire
[Chorus]
Say your prayers
Hear the choir sing your name:
Long live the mighty king
Just be prepared to lose it all
When they don't need you anymore
