The purpose was clear, a message designed, only the methods were blurred.
The answer was fear, for logic declined, hatred alive

Chorus

King for day
Just name a price
Learning to pray
Promising a miracle
Rally the cause
Slogans to say
Making the laws
Promising a miracle

Verse 2

With bread to provide, the circus to please, giving them all that they need
The people were led, like sheep to the shear; do you remember?

Chorus 2

Old say the word
Young pay with blood
Something absurd
Promising a miracle
History repeats
Over again
March to the beat
Promising a Miracle

Bridge

Man with a sword in his eyes, came to collect
Who was asleep at the wheel? Who was suspect?

Verse 3

The dynasty fell, as all evil does, never to rise up again
Those faces may change, ambition remains; Who'll be the next?

Chorus 3

King for day
Just name a price
Learning to pray
Promising a miracle
Rally the cause
Slogans to say
Making the laws
Promising a miracle

Old say the word
Young pay with blood
Something absurd
Promising a miracle
History repeats
Over again
March to the beat
Promising a Miracle
