Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Wide eyes open, black eyed truth
How'd I end up here with everything to lose
I watch you get painted, I watch you conform
And me I'm as jaded as the day is long
Empty headed and I'm headed nowhere
Empty pockets filled with dreams and despair
Visions of the wicked take me through the night

[Chorus]
Love will grow cold, never sell your soul
Be the star that shines up in the sky
The king is dead, the heavy crown it lies
Hold your tongue and get yourself in line
Take care of yours like I took care of mine
The king is dead, the heavy crown it lies

[Verse 2]
Give me a minute to catch my breath
Lost my direction, planned for my death
I live with the anger, denial and regret
I can't break away from this with your foot up on my neck

[Chorus]
Love will grow cold, never sell your soul
Be the star that shines up in the sky
The king is dead, the heavy crown it lies
Hold your tongue and get yourself in line
Take care of yours like I took care of mine
The king is dead, the heavy crown it lies
Won't you be the star that shines up in the sky
The king is dead, the heavy crown it lies
Hold your tongue and get yourself in line
Take care of yours I'll take care of mine
The king is dead, the heavy crown it lies

[Outro]
The king is dead
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live, never gonna die
