King's Vengeance lyrics

Down and out in the city

Won't you give a boy a break

Juvenile on trial before committee

Taken all he can take

But the king shall have his vengeance

Especially on the poor

Some say preaching to convert him

Me I'm not too sure

Spring she comes and spring she teases

Brings summer winds and summer breezes

Blow through your hair till autumn leaves us

When autumn leaves us, oh how winter freezes

And the child is still breathing

With the beating of a heart (with the beating of the heart)

Some say we are equal

Some a million miles apart

Oh my god

Oh my god

But the king shall have his vengeance

While the Queen she represents the innocent

And the child so dependent

But the seasons conquer all

Spring she comes and spring she teases

Brings summer winds and summer breezes

Blow through your hair till autumn leaves us

When autumn leaves, oh how winter freezes

But the king shall have his vengeance

Especially on the poor

Some say preaching to converted

Me I'm not so sure
