Verse 1
Hanging by your feet, the world’s end near complete
I know you fought so hard
You held your chin up high, but your feet are pointing to the sky
Your eyes to the ground
You don’t quite understand, gravity’s deathly hands
This world is upside down
Chorus 1
Hail, the King of the Weak
Hail, the Knight of the Meak
Verse 2
The sabers strike thousands fold, yet their teeth are getting old
See they don’t cut so well
Your armor’s in some kind of spell, you struck their words from what you could tell (melodically)
it’s your blood on the floor
They call you all these crazy things, a maniac, a violent being
This world’s a battleground
Chorus 2
Hail, the King of the Weak
Hail, the Knight of the Meak
(Hail to the king...)
*Instrumental Interlude*
Verse 3
You cried your love, you spoke your truth
You fought for what you thought you knew
But knowing’s not the game
And though you set the world ablaze
Not one person’s solved your maze
Now what are you fighting for
A kingdom that exists no more
Or if ever, whose to say?...
Bridge
*Adio, adio querida
No, quero la vida
Me l’amargates tu.
END
*Translation:
“Farewell, farewell beloved
I don’t want this life.
You have made it so bitter.”
