What It Takes To Be A King - Lyrics - Icons

As my subjects wait for me I proudly hold me stance To declare a court Where we will meet and serve The darkness of night gathered My brother Thomas fell Into my chamber with a sword Hiding there He hoped to claim the reign Two children wrapped In black and gold Their father lay them down Maidens came from far away To offer them their mothers milk They dreamed of glory Dreamed of triumph Blaring with the trumpets sound The twins would hide their fear in fervor For only one would ever know the crown CHORUS: What it takes to be a king If youre my brother You would know whats happening For the reign Behind the crucifix he stalked Such inventive rites of passion But I was bred for *** and power I had such romantic visions One step ahead I swung quickly As my sword struck his chest he cried And everything he ever loved All his pain Became mine as he died CHORUS The master beckons I will follow Its all been told through Cards and runes and guillotines Thinking I Remember kissing you Deliver me unto the Father Deliver me unto the Lord Wash me of all my sins so cruel One of my precious children will one day rule CHORUS
