Never Threaten a King

You walk in loud

Cheap crown in your hand

All talk

All teeth

No battle plan

You raise your voice like you own this land

But your spine shakes

I can see it stand

You draw a line you can't defend (hey!)

You light a fuse you can't pretend

You taste the fire

Feel it sting

You should've learned one sacred thing

Never threaten a king

If you can't wear the ring

If you can't bear the weight

Of the wars that it brings

Never sharpen your tongue

If your heart's gonna sink

You can die by a word

When you play with a king

You point that blade

But your hands still twitch

You brag of scars that you never stitched

You call for storms you can't ride through

Now every ghost you raised rides you

You draw a line you can't defend (woah)

You light a fuse at both its ends

You face the throne

You hear it sing

One rule carved in bone and skin

Never threaten a king

If you can't wear the ring

If you can't bear the weight

Of the wars that it brings

Never sharpen your tongue

If your heart's gonna sink

You can die by a word

When you play with a king

Kneel or stand

Choose your ground

Once it's spoken

It can't turn down

Blood remembers

Every sting

Oaths are iron

Crowns don't blink

Never threaten a king

If you can't wear the ring

If you can't bear the weight

Of the wars that it brings

Never sharpen your tongue

If your heart's gonna sink

You can die by a word

When you play with a king

Yeah

You die by a word

When you play with a king
