Long Live the King Lyrics


[chorus]

Long live The King

Forever may he reign

Long live the family

And long live the name

Eternal on his throne

Sanctified by Our Lord

Power to the crown

To the castle and the sword

Of The King

[verse]

He is one hundred and five

And he will never die

Ruling in his keep

From his castle upon high

His men are all just

And he gives them his trust

His knights are noble men

With a deep bloodlust

Riding through the town

You can hear the trumpet call

The presence of the crown

Shines a light in the cold

The peasants and the serfs

Take a knee, avert their eyes

They know just what they’re worth

Insignificant size

[chorus]

Long live The King

Long live The King

Long live The King

Forever may he reign

Long live the family

And long live the name

Eternal on his throne

Sanctified by Our Lord

Power to the crown

To the castle and the sword

Of The King

[verse]

He still swings a blade

When the judgement has been made

Decapitation, innocence

No difference does it make

Chain of command

With a wave of his hand

Second under God and War

The ruler of our land

Deep within the keep

The food is being served

They’re eating roast meat

From every kind of bird

The music from the hall

Plays for knights at the table

You shiver in the cold

As you clear out the stable

[chorus]

Long live The King

Long live The King

[bridge]

You can see his holy majesty

At festivals and feasts

He has killed a thousand enemies

Their bodies at his feet

Untouched and undefeatable

Our kingdom never rests

A sign of hope and happiness

To stave off plague and death

[chorus]

Long live The King

Forever may he reign

Long live the family

And long live the name

Eternal on his throne

Sanctified by Our Lord

Power to the crown

To the castle and the sword

Long live The King

Forever may he reign

Long live the family

And long live the name

Eternal on his throne

Sanctified by Our Lord

Power to the crown

To the castle and the sword

Of The King
