The King Wants You

A train in the distance

I hear the whistle

A lonely tune calling

Telling where the wind is blowing

At the station

And I'm just waiting

Spent my whole life not growing

Now the whole world is coming

I don't know why we're fighting

I just know that I'm going

A chip on my shoulder

Everyone's getting older

Heroes die young, that's fine

I'm still a child inside

Kid, you are a soldier now

The wind upon which all his words ride out

Kid, you're killing dragons now

With crown and guns we'll keep our fortress strong

The best of the greatest

The greatest but few

Those doomed to be heroes

The king wants you

The king wants you

Sixteen years, my mother's son

Now a big boy with big guns

Marching, falling, getting up

Never knew how to stop

Wrote a letter

Said things are better

They've taught me how to fight and die

I wish I knew how to live and lie

I don't know where we're going

It's better to go without knowing

I'm ready and willing

Literally make a killing

Dead today, it's all the same

As long as someone knows my name

Kid, you are a soldier now

The wind upon which all his words ride out

Kid, you're killing dragons now

With crown and guns we'll keep our fortress strong

The best of the greatest

The greatest but few

Those doomed to be heroes

The king wants you

The king wants you

(The king wants you)

(The king wants you)

Left, right left

Left, right left

Look to the king

All eyes on the king

All hail the king

The best of the greatest

The greatest but few

Those doomed to be heroes

The king wants you

The king wants you

The king wants you

The king wants you
