Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I have sung you a lifetime of praises
I've been faithful and followed the rules
Why implant this desire
In my soul like a fire
And give somebody else the jewels
Oh father why must you betray me
After all I deserve but a glimpse
Just a touch of divine
Just a sip of your wine
Why oh why must you tease me like this
When I am King
I'll have everything
The whole world will love me
And I'll shine with the stars up above me
When I am King
Brother here I am unarmed and naked
I lay down my sword and you take it
You wave it high in your hand
Like it's yours to command
And you ignore my request for a truce
Well I'm done being taken for granted
And I'm done comin' out empty handed
It's a matter of time
Before that throne will be mine
And your head will have found a noose
When I am King
I'll have everything
The whole world will love me
And I'll shine with the stars up above me
When I am King
When I am King
I'll have everything
The whole world will love me
And I'll laugh with the Gods up above me
When I am King
