Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It was crime at the time, but the laws, we changed 'em

Though the hero for hire's forever the same one

Introducing for the first time

Pharaoh on the microphone

[Verse 2]

Sing, all hail

What'll be revealed today

When we peer to the great unknown

From the land of the throne?

[Verse 3]

Awakened to cheers after years on the fault-line

We are shocked to be here in the face of the meantime

Pharaoh, all your methods have taught me

Is to separate my blood from bone

[Verse 4]

And we'll all fail

Feelin' a feel today

When we peer to the great unknown

From the land of the throne

[Verse 5]

Form a line through here

Form a line through here

Form a line to the throne

Form a line to the throne

[Verse 6]

Form a line through here

Form a line through here

Form a line to the throne

Form a line to the throne

[Verse 7]

Alone in the chain, it remains to be seen how

How well you can play when the pawn takes the queen now

Introducing for the first time

Pharaoh on the microphone

[Verse 8]

Sing, all hail

What'll be revealed today

When we peer to the great unknown

From the land of the throne?

[Verse 9]

Sing, all hail

What will be revealed today

When we peer to the great unknown

From the land of the throne?

[Verse 10]

Form a line through here

Form a line through here

Form a line to the throne

Form a line to the throne

[Verse 11]

Form a line through here

Form a line through here

Form a line to the throne

Form a line to the throne

[Verse 12]

It was crime at the time, but the laws have changed, yeah

It was crime at the time, but the laws have changed, yeah
