Instantly people come surround you, follow your command When the throne's close enough for you to touch They will lift and place you there on it People need an enemy, so you act lovingly And whisper a few names Faceless hate's loosed upon the world We must sacrifice victim of the day Who will pay the price every drop is drained away We must sacrifice hidden lust on display Who will pay the price of you Soon as you light upon your throne you deign to face the crowd There you gaze, pity and contempt embrace Pulling strings must give you great delight You deceive them, switch up what you aim to do Power knows no rules Drunken kings traipse upon the world We must sacrifice victim of the day Who will pay the price aim to reign forever ever We must sacrifice sign of dissolution Who will pay the kings are a lesson for us all We must sacrifice victim of the day Who will pay the price counsel comes too late We must sacrifice no king ever returns Who will pay the price of you
