Zac Brown Band, Chris Cornell - Heavy Is the Head lyrics

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown

Black dog drinks from the water
Trying to cool his tongue
Like the king, finds no peace
His work is never done
Night falls, smoke on the water
Darkness closes in
Cold white hand in the deep will
Drown you for your sins

It's a life long expedition
Second guessing your decisions
Trying to find out what's been missing
Pages keep on filling

Crying out "Go and wake the king"
Call to arms for those who kiss the ring
Stand your ground, the walls are coming down
It's do or die! Do or die!

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown

Mad man, blood on the altar
The Queen will have his head
His ghost will shake those rattling
Chains long after he's dead
No soul knows his trouble
High upon his throne
Loved by few and judged by many
He bears that weight alone

It's a life long expedition
Second guessing your decisions
Trying to find out what's been missing
And the pages keep on filling

Crying out "Go and wake the king"
Call to arms for those who kiss the ring
Stand your ground
Yeah the walls are coming down
It's do or die! Do or die!

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
