Heavy Is the Head

Heavy is the head that wears the crown Heavy is the head that wears the crown Black dog Drinks from the water Trying to cool his tongue Like the king Finds no peace His work is never done Night falls Smoke on the water Darkness closes in Cold white hand, in the deep Will drown you for your sin It's a life long expedition Second guessing your decisions Trying to find out what's been missing Pages keep on filling Crying out Go and wake the king Call to arms For those who kiss the ring Stand your ground The walls are coming down It's do or die Do or die Heavy is the head that wears the crown Heavy is the head that wears the crown Mad man Blood on the altar The Queen will have his head His ghost will shake those rattling chains Long after he's dead No soul, knows his trouble High upon his throne Loved by few and judged by many He bears that weight alone It's a lifelong expedition Second guessing your decisions Trying to find out what's been missing And the pages keep on filling Crying out Go and wake the king Call to arms For those who kiss the ring Stand your ground The walls are coming down It's do or die Do or die Heavy is the head that wears the crown Heavy is the head that wears the crown Heavy is the head that wears the crown --- Heavy Is the Head - Chris Cornell and Zac Brown Band
