Heavy Lies the Crown

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 1] Oh lord, my world is coming down I think my ship has run aground It's been a fight since I was born I lost my bearings in the storm No stars to guide me to the sea No shining light to set me free I've got to try to carry on Don't wanna be the failed son [Pre-Chorus] Time and tide, live for today [Chorus] Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools? How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand? Fire roars, upon the shores that carry heroes off to wars Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear [Verse 2] A simple man, I stand alone I'm only flesh and blood and bone But I will fight for my beliefs And I will set my people free This land was built by hands of men And I'll return to rule again And take my place upon the throne To build a kingdom of my own [Pre-Chorus] Time and tide, live for today [Chorus] Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools? How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand? Fire roars, upon the shores that carry heroes off to wars Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear [Chorus] Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools? How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand? Fire roars, upon the shores that carry heroes off to wars Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear [Bridge] We stand for truth and honour And on the morning tide We head to war together Beneath the Northern sky And Odin's ravens lead us on to victory Into the field of battle I wear the crown with pride 'Til death, there's no surrender But if I fall and die I pray the Valkyrie will carry me home [Outro] To Valhalla Fields of Thunder Halls of Power Torn Asunder And heavy lies the crown To Valhalla Fields of Thunder Halls of Power Torn Asunder And heavy lies the crown
