"King Of The World" lyrics - MAGNUM

You don't have to fear
Temptation's nowhere
As ten thousand eyes
Look with despair

No-one's on your side
That's just how you feel
Spinning down the road
Just like a wheel

Whoa, the human race is stained
Yeah, down to the floor they're chained

Yeah, oh yeah
There was a man, no betrayer
Poets wrote that he might be a king
Scarlet robe 'cross his shoulder
Had no price, didn't wear golden rings

Every day people followed
They all said he's the king of the world
Every day no more sorrow
They all said he's the king of the world

There's good in every heart
Yeah we all know that
But for just one kiss
They sky turned black

Some confess their sins
That won't wash them clean
Some sit on the fence
Stuck in between

Whoa, you can just dance and sing
Yeah, it doesn't mean a thing

Yeah, oh yeah
There was a man, no betrayer
Poets wrote that he might be a king
Scarlet robe 'cross his shoulder
Had no price, didn't wear golden rings

Every day people followed
They all said he's the king of the world
Every day no more sorrow
They all said he's the king of the world

Careful as you go
Make sure you can see
Lessons you have learned
They don't come free

Many stories told
Some are hard to believe
But they last for years
That's guaranteed

Whoa, all through the years that passed
Yeah, all of the things you asked

Yeah, oh yeah
There was a man, no betrayer
Poets wrote that he might be a king
Scarlet robe 'cross his shoulder
Had no price, didn't wear golden rings

Every day people followed
They all said he's the king of the world
Every day no more sorrow
They all said he's the king of the world

He walked the line
And many people said
Life must be cheap
Or he's just going blind

He walked the line
And somehow took the blame
He breathed in deep
Just waiting for a sign

He walked the line
And lifted up his head
Some had to weep
But some just said it's time

He walked the line
No more would he exclaim
His own mystique
The purpose or design

There was a man, no betrayer
Poets wrote that he might be a king
Scarlet robe 'cross his shoulder
Had no price, didn't wear golden rings

Every day people followed
They all said he's the king of the world
Every day no more sorrow
They all said he's the king of the world
