intro : ( riff )

Em D
watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Em D
save your life while keeping whispers unsaid

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

death is riding in the town with armour
Bm D Bm A
they’ve come to grant you your rights
