[Verse 1]
He was the candle in the cave
And through the night
He was the star we followed
His voice could save the day

[Chorus]
But now the king is dead
The king is dead
The king is dead
The king is dead

[Verse 2]
And as we lay him in the grave
Our working hearts will forget him never
We'll miss him each and every day
After all, its only forever

[Chorus]
The king is dead (It's only forever)
The king is dead (It's not long at all)
The king is dead (It's only forever)
The king is dead

[Verse 3]
What is a land without its king?
I feel like I've lost everything
Who'll take his place and bravely cry?
Long live the king
Without the king
The end is nigh
[Chorus]
The king is dead (It's only forever)
The king is dead (It's not long at all)
The king is dead (It's only forever)
The king is dead (He is dead)
