Instantly people come surround you follow your command

When the throne's close enough for you to touch

They will lift and place you there on it

People need an enemy

So you act lovingly

And whisper a few names

Faceless hate's loosed upon the world

We must sacrifice

Victim of the day

Who will pay the price

Every drop is drained away

We must sacrifice

Hidden lust on display

Who will pay the

Price of price of you

Soon as you light upon your throne

You deign to face the crowd

There you gaze pity and contempt embrace

Pulling strings must give you great delight

You deceive them switch up what you aim to do

Power knows no rules

Drunken kings traipse upon the world

We must sacrifice

Victim of the day

Who will pay the price

Aim to reign forever ever

We must sacrifice

Sign of dissolution

Who will pay the

Kings are a lesson for us all

We must sacrifice

Victim of the day

Who will pay the price

Counsel comes too late too late

We must sacrifice

No king ever returns

Who will pay the

Price of price of you
