Heavy Lies the Crown
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
Time and tide, live for today
Who am I 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 war
Heavy lies the crown I wear
But I did swear this weight to bear
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 rules again
And take my place upon the throne
To build a kingdom of my own
Time and tide, live for today
Who am I 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 war
Heavy lies the crown I wear
But I did swear this weight to bear
Who am I 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 war
Heavy lies the crown I wear
But I did swear this weight to bear
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
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
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
Time and tide, live for today
Who am I 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 war
Heavy lies the crown I wear
But I did swear this weight to bear
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 rules again
And take my place upon the throne
To build a kingdom of my own
Time and tide, live for today
Who am I 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 war
Heavy lies the crown I wear
But I did swear this weight to bear
Who am I 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 war
Heavy lies the crown I wear
But I did swear this weight to bear
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
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
