The King Is Dead Lyrics

Tonight you will find the secret of life, the truth, the love and the hope
The story is told by the angels so old, you've been waiting so long
Your god is your king, and your future he'll bring, peace and eternal life
Stand by his side in his glory and pride, your price is paradise
The prophet said to the king, "tonight you will go"
"Your kingdom will fall and your castle will be to mull, your name is gone"
"Your world lies in dust but in your god you trust, but which one you think?"
"Your life will show if you will go, up to heaven or down to hell"
And the prophet said to the king, when he was sitting there wondering
"Your destiny is to die... but will you lose both crown and pride?"

Like the prophet said, the king is dead, but where did he go?
To serve in heaven, to rule in hell? Immortality?
Your god is your king and your future he'll bring, peace and eternal life
Stand by his side in his glory and pride, your price is paradise

And the prophet said to the king, when he was sitting there wondering
"Your destiny is to die... but will you lose both crown and pride?"
