Anything to Keep the Crown

I never wanted this
I was happiest
Before they made me something I could never be
I even tried to run
And I tried to hide
But God and Samuel let the people make me king

So I played along
Tried to sing their song
But I couldn't ever catch their melody
Too many pressures now
And rules to follow now
Am I breaking rules or are they breaking me?

So I spared a king
To love my enemy
But there is never any mercy for me
I made a sacrifice
Paid a heavy price
Only to have You take Your Spirit from me

Just a shepherd boy
Out of Bethlehem
Then I helped you be a giant killer
Gave you my daughter's hand
I gave your father land
But you are set on taking everything from me

You sang your song to me
A soothing melody
I didn't know someday you would betray me
You were a son to me
But now my enemy
You only loved me 'cause you wanted to be king

I will take what I have to take
Make mistakes that I have to make
Put my enemies in the ground
Anything to keep the crown

I will steal what I have to steal
And I will kill who I have to kill
I'll put anyone in the ground
Anything to keep
Anything to keep the crown

I will take what I have to take
Make mistakes that I have to make
Put my enemies in the ground
Anything to keep the crown

I will steal what I have to steal
And I will kill who I have to kill
I'll put anyone in the ground
Anything to keep
Anything to keep this crown
