Lyrics and translation Therion - The King - 1998

The King - 1998

He was a leader of a small gang
Committing crimes each day
But time has changed as he was proud
It's so far away
He took living easy, his bad reputation
Oh, it was known all around
But he didn't care, no, he made the demandings
Now he is down and out
Thought he knew the tricks of life
Prowling in the dark
Now he's left by all his friends
'Cause he lived apart
But he was a leader, a vicious survivor
His fame is covered with blood
Now he's just a number, he lost all his power
The king has lost his face
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
It's too late for to hide
Late for to hide
He was a leader of a small gang
Committing crimes each day
But time has changed as he was proud
It's so far away
He took living easy, his bad reputation
Oh, it was known all around
But he didn't care, no, he made the demandings
Now he is down and out
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
It's too late for to hide
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
It's too late for to hide
Late for to hide

Le Roi - 1998

Il était le chef d'un petit gang
Commettant des crimes chaque jour
Mais le temps a changé, il était fier
C'est tellement loin maintenant
Il vivait facilement, sa mauvaise réputation
Oh, elle était connue partout
Mais il s'en fichait, non, il faisait des demandes
Maintenant, il est à terre
Il pensait connaître les astuces de la vie
Errant dans l'obscurité
Maintenant, il est abandonné par tous ses amis
Parce qu'il vivait à part
Mais il était un leader, un survivant impitoyable
Sa gloire est recouverte de sang
Maintenant, il n'est plus qu'un numéro, il a perdu tout son pouvoir
Le roi a perdu son visage
En bas, en bas, en bas, car le roi a perdu sa couronne
Pris et condamné, il était coupable
En bas, en bas, en bas, car le roi a perdu sa couronne
Il est trop tard pour se cacher
Trop tard pour se cacher
Il était le chef d'un petit gang
Commettant des crimes chaque jour
Mais le temps a changé, il était fier
C'est tellement loin maintenant
Il vivait facilement, sa mauvaise réputation
Oh, elle était connue partout
Mais il s'en fichait, non, il faisait des demandes
Maintenant, il est à terre
En bas, en bas, en bas, car le roi a perdu sa couronne
Pris et condamné, il était coupable
En bas, en bas, en bas, car le roi a perdu sa couronne
Il est trop tard pour se cacher
En bas, en bas, en bas, car le roi a perdu sa couronne
Pris et condamné, il était coupable
En bas, en bas, en bas, car le roi a perdu sa couronne
Il est trop tard pour se cacher
Trop tard pour se cacher
