Lyrics
Show me what you've got
I will stand my ground
Win or lose, it matters not
I will not back down
Through scorching flames, through fields of pain
Baptism of steel
Not a penny to my name
But I will never ever kneel
My hatred is profound
I will make you pay
I'll burn you to the ground
And dance upon your grave
Keep your vicious tongue
All bold words are cheap
Your name will be unsung
Once you sow, you'll reap
You think you can't be beat
You think you're better than me
When everything comes around
You're just a king with a paper crown
A paper crown
Empty cans rattle most
Full of hollow words
Still the loudest voice prevails
The only truth that's heard
My hatred is profound
I will make you pay
I will burn you' to the ground
And dance upon your grave
You think you can't be beat
You think you're better than me
When everything comes around
You're just a king with a paper crown
You think you know it all
The harder you will fall
When everything comes around
You're just a king with a paper crown
Paper crown
The fool he thinks he knows it all
But opinions are not facts
All the harder he will fall
When his world begins to crack
Empty cans rattle most
A truth as old as dirt
Still the loudest voice prevails
The only truth that's heard
You think you can't be beat
You think you're better than me
When everything comes around
You're just a king with a paper
You think you know it all
The harder you will fall
When everything comes around
You're just a king with a paper crown
My hatred is profound
I will make you pay
Burn you to the ground
And dance upon your grave
