Slave Only Dreams To Be King lyrics

[Intro: Excerpt from "Will" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox]

The human wheel, that force unseen

The offspring of a deathless soul

Can hew away to any goal

The walls of granite intervene

Be not in patient delay, but

Wait as one who understands

When spirit rises and demands

The Gods are ready to obey

Take my money like an ugly bee

Covered in my honey, too dumb to see

My Fibonacci blinded by your jealousy

I'm happy to pull my veins out and braid a rope

I don't need hope to know that you'd die slow

I'm happy to pull my veins out and braid a rope

I don't need hope to know that you'd die slow

You are what you beat, yeah

You are what you beat, yeah

[Chorus]

Then we met our brand-new parents

They didn’t know it yet

So we chanted "Wed, wed, wed!"

But they didn’t know they were dead

They didn't know they were dead

Then the witch tied her fruit to a stick

When our coin was looking too thin

It's like a winter in Hades

We drooled for the ladies

As if the apple was owned by God

(Chorus)

Slave never dreams to be free

Slave only dreams to be king

Slave never dreams to be free

Slave only dreams to be king

You are what you beat, yeah

You are what you beat, yeah
