I wish I was the warrior king in every language that I speak
|
Lord over all that I survey and all that I see I keep
|
Power omnipresent, undiminished uncontrolled
|
With a mass of violent fury at the center of my soul
|
|
I wish I was a warrior king, inscrutable benign
|
With a faceless charging power always at my command
|
Footsteps so heavy that the world shakes, my rage instilling fear, ah, ha
|
Yet cautious firm but fair and good, the perfect warrior king
|
|
I wish I installed angels in every subject's house
|
Agents of my goodness no one would be without
|
A steak on every plate, a car for every house
|
And if you ever crossed me, I'd have your eyes put out
|
|
You don't exist without me, without me you don't exist
|
And if logic won't convinced you then there's always this
|
I'm bigger, smarter, stronger, tough; yet sensitive and kind
|
And though I could crush you like a bug, it would never cross my mind
|
|
It wouldn't cross my mind to break your neck or rip out your vicious tongue
|
It wouldn't cross my mind to snap your leg like a twig or squash you like some slug
|
You are a violent messenger and I'm not above your taunts
|
And if you hit me, you know I'll kill you, because I'm the warrior king
|
