The King - 1998
He was a leader of a small gang
Committing crimes each day
But time has changed as he was proud
It's so far away
He took living easy, his bad reputation
Oh, it was known all around
But he didn't care, no, he made the demandings
Now he is down and out
Thought he knew the tricks of life
Prowling in the dark
Now he's left by all his friends
'Cause he lived apart
But he was a leader, a vicious survivor
His fame is covered with blood
Now he's just a number, he lost all his power
The king has lost his face
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
It's too late for to hide
Late for to hide
He was a leader of a small gang
Committing crimes each day
But time has changed as he was proud
It's so far away
He took living easy, his bad reputation
Oh, it was known all around
But he didn't care, no, he made the demandings
Now he is down and out
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
It's too late for to hide
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
It's too late for to hide
Late for to hide
Committing crimes each day
But time has changed as he was proud
It's so far away
He took living easy, his bad reputation
Oh, it was known all around
But he didn't care, no, he made the demandings
Now he is down and out
Thought he knew the tricks of life
Prowling in the dark
Now he's left by all his friends
'Cause he lived apart
But he was a leader, a vicious survivor
His fame is covered with blood
Now he's just a number, he lost all his power
The king has lost his face
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
It's too late for to hide
Late for to hide
He was a leader of a small gang
Committing crimes each day
But time has changed as he was proud
It's so far away
He took living easy, his bad reputation
Oh, it was known all around
But he didn't care, no, he made the demandings
Now he is down and out
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
It's too late for to hide
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
It's too late for to hide
Late for to hide
