Here Comes The King
Dirty Shirley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here Comes the king

Listen close to the silence, you might see me cutting through
The noise that brought me here, was a little piece in me that grew
Underestimated, I was jaded, brought down by a different crowd
When I thought my time would come, there was no one around

In a blink of an eye I saw, somebody left a claw, so I took it

Once you feel me coming, you'll be cursed till your judgement day
Hold your breath, here comes the king

Now that Im the one with the power
To make you bleed for nothing
About a time to reset the system
And finally make it into something

In a blink of an eye I saw, somebody left a claw, so I took it

Once you feel me coming, you'll be cursed till your judgement day
Hold your breath, here comes the king
Beware when I stand tall
Here comes the king

Small steps in silence, you thought I'd take a bigger swing




But look at yourself now and make some space
Here comes the king

Great track, love the vocals, reminds me of Jorn Lande. George is looking a bit silly, but still has the chops.
