Not My King Songtext
von Canyon Literature

If you were king for a day
Would you live your life with doubts?
Your crown will fall, your throne will burn
King of ghosts, queen of misery

With the final touch
The separation of soul and flesh
My thirst is greater than my will
This could be the end of my life
Lets start the night on the run
The blood thirsty world we serve
No one in the blue ever dared
To reach for their hand

Your crown will fall, your throne will burn
Your crown will fall, your throne will burn
Bow down
Before the maker of faith
Bow down
To the ancient of days, believer of the past


How can you call yourself a king?
While letting the poor rot away
You′re just a puppet of an elitist state
You're just a shit stain while the acid rains
No justice for a coward
Abolish the monarchy
We are forsaken by the white male company

A painted fantasy
For which we pay
If I could gamble, I might play the field
To a world where the flowers grow back
Shed my sins from the soul
To a world where life has just begun

We all must change the course of history
Born from nothing in a land of war
We all must change the course of history
Born from nothing in a land of war

How can a fighter like me find its purpose at times of peace
The symbols are there, the symbols are everywhere
Though the ages the kingdoms fall
Protected by bureaucracy
Protected by corruption
I am the one that opens deeper wounds


Your crown will fall, your throne will burn
Your crown will fall, your throne will burn
Bow down
Before the maker of faith
Bow down
To the ancient of days, believer of the past

How can you call yourself a king?
While letting the poor rot away
You′re just a puppet of an elitist state
You're just a shit stain while the acid rains
No justice for a coward
Abolish the monarchy
We are forsaken by the white male company

If you were king for a day
Would you live your life with doubts?

A painted fantasy
For which we pay
Your crown will fall
Your throne will burn
How can you call yourself a king?
While letting the poor rot away
