Kill the King
Jorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a stranger, stranger, and life about to spill
Oh, no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone
Speed on and on
Kill the King
Kill the King
Strike him down
Power, power, it happens every day
Power, devour all along the way
Oh, no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone
Speed on and on
Kill the King
He’ll rule no more…no more
Treason, treason, the spectre looms again
Treason, reason, the realm is safe and then
Oh, no, move away from harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the rainbow
I'm no pawn, so be gone
Speed on and on
Kill the king, yeah
Tear him down
Kill the king…yeah
Got to take his crown…down
Kill the king
He’ll rule no more
Strike him dead
The people roar
Kill the king…yeah
Take his dead
Down, Down
Down, down
Oh, kill
Oh, kill
Oh, oh!
The song "Kill The King" is an ode to rebellion against those in power who have abused their authority for too long. The opening lines speak of danger, specifically the danger of the Queen who is set to kill. The singer calls for a spell and a charm to protect himself and to fly away from harm. He also declares that he is no pawn, indicating that he is his own person and not willing to be used by anyone else.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Kill the King," which is a call to bring down those in power who are abusing their position. Power is described as something that happens every day and devours all along the way. The singer repeats his call for a spell and a charm to protect himself and fly like the wind.
The verse shifts to talk about treason and how the specter of it looms again. The singer again calls for protection against harm and repeats his desire to fly like the rainbow. The song ends with a final call to "kill the king," to take his crown down and make sure that he rules no more.
