Nazareth - The King Is Dead lyrics

(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap) I have not come to worship you Only flowers at your throne I have not come to plead or beg Or to claim what is my own Oh i know you are the king And you'll say what is wrong I have come to cut you down And to leave your body dead You do not mean so much to me Nor that crown upon your head You are just as sad as me You are lonely flesh and blood And the time has come for you to die And now you bleed, please spare my life You know i'm the chosen one I don't believe what you bequeth And i must do what must be done You say you're the only king Your words just fall like rain
