[Intro]
[Big drums. Crunching guitars.]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
Long live the king!
Long live the queen!
[Verse 1]
Midnight on the boulevard, the city's dressed in black,
Everybody's got a knife, everybody's talking smack.
They said the king was losing ground, they said the queen should run,
But we were making history underneath a neon sun.
Gold dust on your battle boots,
Diamonds in your hair,
The whole world wanted war tonight,
But baby, we didn't care.
[Pre-Chorus]
They tried to split us down the middle,
Tried to turn our hearts to stone,
But every shot they fired at us
Only drove us closer home.
[Chorus]
We're a kingdom of two!
Yeah, it's me and you!
Let the castles burn,
Let the heavens fall,
We'll be dancing through it all!
We're a kingdom of two!
Nothing left to prove!
Long live the king!
Long live the queen!
Long live the kingdom of two!
[Verse 2]
The papers wrote our ending
Before the story had begun,
They wanted separate crowns for us,
But we only wanted one.
The rebels and the royal court
Were betting on our pain,
But every time they knocked us down
We'd rise and reign again.
[Pre-Chorus]
They tried to pull our stars apart,
They tried to break our hearts,
But they don't know the kind of fire
That burns inside the dark.
[Chorus]
We're a kingdom of two!
Yeah, it's me and you!
Let the castles burn,
Let the heavens fall,
We'll be dancing through it all!
We're a kingdom of two!
Nothing left to prove!
Long live the king!
Long live the queen!
Long live the kingdom of two!
[Solo Break]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
Raise your crowns into the night!
Raise your hearts into the light!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
King and queen!
Side by side!
King and queen!
Never die!
[Guitar Solo]
[Lead guitar screams upward.]
Ohhhhhhh!
[Fast ascending run.]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
[Twin guitar harmony.]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
[Massive sustained bend.]
Yeahhhhhhh!
[Bridge]
They can take the throne tomorrow,
They can steal the crown away,
But they'll never take the love
That made us royalty anyway.
You're the fire inside my heart,
You're the jewel inside my crown.
[Final Chorus]
We're a kingdom of two!
Yeah, it's me and you!
Hear the guitars cry,
Hear the people roar,
We're still standing like before!
We're a kingdom of two!
Nothing left to lose!
Long live the king!
Long live the queen!
Long live the kingdom of two!
[Outro]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
Long live the king!
Long live the queen!
The world couldn't tear us apart...
Long live the kingdom of two.
