Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yay, in a land not far away
All the people there were building
Farming, spawning, living life in perfect harmony
Oh, but there was a boy who knows
How to dig those diamonds
Were to find them, how to grind 'em
Take them from the ground in droves
[Verse 2]
Now, that the diamonds are all gone
All the people there are living poor
There is no more
The iron armor is not strong enough
And they're living, they're so tough
All the people packed their bags
And moved away
They got to find a place to rise above
[Verse 3]
He is the diamond king
And loves all the shiny things
He mines out the diamond ore
Abilities not seen before
Born with a pick in-hand
He mines all across the land
The gift of the mighty swing
The boy we call the diamond king
[Verse 4]
Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na
[Verse 5]
Oh, now the boy is all alone
In a house he calls his home
With glitter, sparkling rays of brilliance
Sitting on his throne
There, admiring all his gems
He is full of pride and tells himself
That he's the best
That people should admire him
[Verse 6]
But now, there's no one left to see
How good he is
Or share with him, the diamonds gems
He gained from his ability
He, they call the diamond king
Is left alone to play all by himself
In solitude, forever will he be
[Verse 7]
He is the diamond king
And loves all the shiny things
He mines out the diamond ore
Abilities not seen before
Born with a pick in hand
He mines all across the land
The gift of the mighty swing
The boy we call the diamond king
[Verse 8]
What good is love if there's no human ties?
How could anyone rise when the world says, goodbye?
If a heart slowly dies is there love still inside?
[Verse 9]
He is the diamond king
And loves all the shiny things
He mines out the diamond ore
Abilities not seen before
Born with a pick in hand
He mines all across the land
The gift of the mighty swing
The boy we call the diamond king
[Verse 10]
Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na
