Slaves (USA)
The King And The Army That Stand Behind Him
[Verse 1: Jonny Craig]
They love you when the lines get blurred
Our hearts become the source
As we push through all of these feelings
Failure always disappoints
[Chorus: Jonny Craig]
Oh, it's nights like these where it's all in my dreams
How long should I pay for my mistakes?
These apologies fall on deaf ears
How in the hell did I get here?
I'll claim the role I was born to play
[Verse 2: Kyle Lucas]
How many times should I repent?
How many apologies are needed?
I was obviously defeated
Broken and beaten, they had me focused on leavin'
I wore my heart on my sleeve
The whole world saw me bleedin', uh
I seen it all, I've been there and I've done that
Counted me out, but never counted on my comeback
Now I see the snakes and all the rats up in the mouse traps
This gonna be the soundtrack for anyone who bounced back
I want that throne, go and get that crown passed
[Chorus: Jonny Craig]
Oh, it's nights like these where it's all in my dreams
How long should I pay for my mistakes?
These apologies fall on deaf ears
How in the hell did I get here?
I'll claim the role I was born to play
[Bridge]
They left me stranded here, for everything is gone
I saw them for who they truly are
Still I rise, still I stand, so put the crown in my hand
Still I rise, still I stand, so put the crown in my hand (In my hand)
Still I rise, still I stand, so put the crown in my hand
[Outro]
They left me stranded here, for everything is gone
I saw them for who they truly are
Still I rise, still I stand, so put the crown in my hand
