"The King Wants You" lyrics - AVATAR

AVATAR
"The King Wants You"

A train in the distance
I hear the whistle
A lonely tune calling
Telling where the wind is blowing
At the station
And I'm just waiting
Spend my whole life not growing
Now the whole world is coming
I don't know why we're fighting
I just know that I'm going
A chip on my shoulder
Everyone's getting older
Heroes die young, that's fine
I'm still a child inside

[Refrain:]
Kid, you are a soldier now
The wind upon which all his words ride out
Can't kill and drag us down
With crown and guns we'll keep our fortress strong

[Chorus:]
The best of the greatest
The greatest but few
Those soon to be heroes
The king wants you
The king wants you!

Sixteen years, my mother's son
Now a big boy wielding guns
Marching, falling, getting up
Never knew how to stop
Wrote a letter
Said things are better
Taught me how to fight and die
I wish I knew how to live and lie!
I don't know where we're going
It's better to go without knowing
I'm ready and willing
Literally make a killing
Dead today, it's all the same
As long as someone knows my name

[Refrain:]
Kid, you are a soldier now
The wind upon which all his words ride out
Can't kill and drag us down
With crown and guns we'll keep our fortress strong

[Chorus:]
The best of the greatest
The greatest but few
Those soon to be heroes
The king wants you
The king wants you!

[Post-Chorus:]
The king wants you
The king wants you

[Bridge:]
Left, right, left
Left, right, left
Look to the king
All eyes on the king
All hail the king

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus:]
The best of the greatest
The greatest but few
Those soon to be heroes
The king wants you
The king wants you
The king wants you
The king wants you!
