Long Live Rock ’n’ Roll Complete Lyrics

Lady of the Lake Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a magical sound slidin' over the ground
Makin' it shiver and shake
And a permanent cry fallin' out of the sky
Slippery and sly like a snake
With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth
A shadow has covered the light
Then a beam in the shade from a silvery blade
It shattered the edge of the night
 
[Chorus]
I know she waits below
Only to rise on command
When she comes for me
She's got my life in her hands
[Verse 2]
When a movement behind hit the side of my mind
I trembled and shook it away
Then another assault and I started to faulter
Fibres of steel turned to clay
With a bubbly turn now the water should churn
And push it way from the core
And a lady in white will bring sun to the night
Brighter than ever before
 
 
[Chorus]
I know she waits below
Only to rise on command
When she comes for me
She's got my life in her hands
Lady of the lake
[Verse 3]
There's a magical sound slidin' over the ground
Makin' it shiver and shake
And a permanent cry fallin' out of the sky
Slippery and sly like a snake
With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth
A shadow has covered the light
Then a beam in the shade from a silvery blade
Has shattered the edge of the night
 
[Chorus]
Straight down I'm swirling around
Blinded and bruised by the strain
There must be some way to see
Diamonds out of the rain
[Outro]
I know she waits below
Only to rise on command
When she comes for me
She's got my life in her hands
Lady of the lake

Kill the King Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Danger, danger the queen's about to kill
There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill
Oh no, move away from harm
I need a spell and a charm
 
[Chorus]
Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king
Tear him down
Kill the king
Strike him down
 
[Verse 2]
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
 
[Chorus]
And fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king
 
[Instrumental Break]
 
 
[Verse 3]
Treason, treason, the specter looms again
Treason, reason, the realm is safe and then
Oh no, move away from harm
I need a spell and a charm
 
[Chorus]
Fly like the rainbow
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king
Tear him down
Kill the king, yeah
Got to take his crown down
 
[Outro]
Kill the king
He'll rule no more
Strike him dead
The people roar
Kill the king
Take his head
Down, down, down, down
Oh, kill
Oh, kill
Oh, oh
