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)
