When We Are Kings Lyrics by Frank Wildhorn and Jack Murphy

The Count of Monte Cristo

2008

[Faria]
You must go on
For the world waits before you
Leave me to rest for a while
Look to your heart and remember our lessons
And when you think of me
Smile
Now I will leave one more treasure to you
Learn to live
And forgive
[Edmond]
I will return
With an army to find you
Breaking this place stone by stone
Rubies and gold will bedazzle and blind you
[Faria]
Riches the world's never known
Crushing the dungeons with wealth unsurpassed
When we are kings at last
Feed the poor, protect the weak
[Edmond]
By the justice that we seek
[Faria]
Leave the past behind in mercy's name
[Edmond]
When we are kings, we'll make the world as true as you
My friend, when we are kings
What's ours we will reclaim
[Faria]
Sails made of silk
Bearing ships full of silver
Diamonds like stars in the skies
[Edmond]
Mountains of gold
Full of emeralds and opals
More than a feast for the eyes
[Faria]
Suffer no more fortune's arrows and slings
[Edmond]
Living like men
[Faria]
(Living like men)
[Edmond]
Free once again
[Faria]
(Free once again)
[Both]
Finally when we are kings!
