HAIL TO THE KING
INTRO: (RIFF)
Em D
Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Em D
Save your life while keeping whispers unsaid
Em D
Children roam the streets now orphans of war
Em D
Bodies hanging in the streets to adore
Am C Am G
Royal flames will carve a path in chaos
Am C Am G
Bringing daylight to the night
Bm D Bm A
Death is riding in the town with armour
Bm D Bm A
They've come to take all your rights
CHORUS:
Em D C D
Hail to the king Hail to the one
Em D C D
Kneel to the crown Stand in the sun
Hail to the king
Em D
Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne
Em D
Born again but it's too late to atone
Em D
No mercy from the edge of the blade
Em D
They'll escape and learn the price to be paid
Am C Am G
Let the water flow with shades of red now
Am C Am G
Arrows blackout all the light
Bm D Bm A
Death is riding in the town with armour
Bm D Bm A
They've come to grant you your rights
CHORUS
SOLO: Em Em D B7 (x2)
Em Em A D G D B7 B7
Em B7 Am Em Bm Em Bm Bm (x2)
BRIDGE: (RIFF)
There's a taste of fear
When the henchmen call
I am fierce to tame it
I am fierce to claim it all
CHORUS (x2)
OUTRO: (RIFF)
