the king wants you

Lyrics

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, 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
