The King is Dead Lyrics by Pink Metal

Design Of A Rake

2025

You see that man upon the stage?
I wanna be that man upon the stage
God help me let go of my rage
So I can be the man upon the stage

And if I sing and it's not to your liking, don't take it as an offence of sorts
Even though I've been told, by someone that I know
That I sing decently, I just sell myself short

The king is dead, do you want to see
The body laying on the shore?
I thought that you would be my Magdalene
But there was a serpent in my court
A long time ago I believed
That there wеre roses among my thorns
Oh, what I'd give to bе the person you see
On stage singing out his soul

Do you see that enemy soldier?
I want you to take a look at the enemy soldiers
A wicked prayer for their soul
That karma gets them before they're old

And if I talk and you disagree, don't take it as an offence of sorts
Even though I've been told, by someone that I know
That I'm really not dumb, I just sell myself short

The king is dead, do you want to see
The body laying on the shore?
I thought that you would be my Magdalene
But there was a serpent in my court
A long time ago I believed
There were roses among my thorns
Oh, what I'd give to be the person you see
On stage singing out his soul

I've always thought humans had honour otherwise the gods wouldn't choose us
But out of twelve archetypes I found out every single one of you was Judas
I've always thought humans had honour otherwise the gods wouldn't choose us
But out of twelve archetypes I found out every single one of you was Judas

The king is dead, do you want to see
The body laying on the shore?
I thought that you would be my Magdalene
But there was a serpent in my court
A long time ago I believed
There were roses among my thorns
Oh, what I'd give to be the person you see
On stage singing out his soul
