Place your heavy armour upon my weary frame
A cloak of silk and ermine skin - it's all the same
My statuettes don't remind me of who I am
My portraits resemble a dying man
Years of desperation
Running from my fate
God save the king
Lord have mercy
There is no royal medic
My kingdom, my kingdom for a horse
My predicament of sovereign
I simply cannot endorse
- Will I ever bleed for my country?
What monarch fights his own battles?
I hide behind the emblems of nobility
- Men, never seize to obey me
Defend my life...
Mark my words of victory
So void of meaning
Days of anticipation, horror in their wake
A crown upon a coward's head doth not a ruler make
My feeble back, my spineless, gutless stand
My poor posture, a heart that beats unmanned
There is no royal medic
My kingdom, my kingdom for a horse
My predicament of sovereign
I simply cannot endorse
- Men, never seize to obey me
Defend my life...
Mark my words of victory
So void of meaning
Life...
Mark my words of victory
So void of meaning
A cloak of silk and ermine skin - it's all the same
My statuettes don't remind me of who I am
My portraits resemble a dying man
Years of desperation
Running from my fate
God save the king
Lord have mercy
There is no royal medic
My kingdom, my kingdom for a horse
My predicament of sovereign
I simply cannot endorse
- Will I ever bleed for my country?
What monarch fights his own battles?
I hide behind the emblems of nobility
- Men, never seize to obey me
Defend my life...
Mark my words of victory

Mark my words of victory
So void of meaning
Life...
Mark my words of victory
