Accept - The King Lyrics






He was a leader of a small gang
Commiting crimes each day
But time has changed where he was proud
It's so far away

He took living easy, his bad reputation
Oh, it was known all around
But he didn't care, no - he made dirty money
Now he is down and out

Thought he knew the tricks of life
Prowling in the dark
Now he's left by all his friends
'Cause he lived apart, of them

He was a leader, malicious and violent
His fame is covered with blood
Now he's just a number, he lost all his power
The king has lost his face

Down down down, oh, a king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down down down, oh, a king lost his crown
It's too late for to hide
Late for to hide

He was a leader of a small gang
Committing crimes each day
But time has changed where he was proud
It's so far away
He took living easy - his bad reputation
Oh, it was known all around
But he didn't care, no - he made dirty money
Now he is down and out

Down down down - oh, a king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced - he was guilty
Down down down - oh, a king lost his crown
It's too late for to hide
Late for to hide

  25. I.... A....

    What the hell happened to UDO afterwards...?

    I.... A....

    I think he started a solo career but not sure

    I.... A....

    Yes he did, but what i mean is what happened with his voice, he sounds so masculine here in contrast with his solo work where he sounds like he had a balls removal operation :-p

    I.... A....

    @Ierax Archery well the thing that happened is :
    it's another guy not him I guess
    They changed the singer.

    I.... A....

    They don]t change singer, in early albus same track sing bass guiter Peter Baltes. Its like Queen not all sing's by Mercury.

  34. V.... ....

    "Король"

    Он был лидером маленькой банды
    Преступающей закон каждый день
    Но время изменилось, когда он был горд 
    Это далеко 

    Он жил с легкостью – его дурная репутация
    О, она была всем известна
    Но ему было плевать, нет, – он делал грязные деньги
    Теперь он разбит и повержен 

    Он думал, что знает хитрости жизни
    Крадясь во тьме
    Теперь его бросили все его друзья
    Потому что он живет отдельно от них 

    Он был лидером, злобным и неистовым
    Его слава была запятнана кровью
    Теперь он просто номер – он потерял всю свою силу
    Король, потерявший свой лик 

    Вниз, вниз, вниз, o, король лишившийся своей короны
    Пойманный и осужденный – он был признан виновным
    Вниз, вниз, вниз, o, король, потерявший свою корону
    Слишком поздно скрываться
    Поздно скрываться

  38. k.... ....

    When I hear a song of this album (I´m a rebel) for me It´s a MUST to hear it all, I enjoy it from the begining til the end. It may sound a little old fashion but has power and melody.

  39. K.... ....

    Awesome video. I discovered this song today. I didn't know that Therion had covered it on their album Vovin. When I first heard it I had to check out the Accept version. Man this is a kickass song. 

    K.... ....

  40. S.... B....

    Peter Baltes has an amazing voice!

    S.... B....

    @Hans Grooten Nope

    S.... B....

    For some songs yes, for others no. Many styles of Song. Peter Baltes has more common voice, Udo is another style, but not common.

    S.... B....

    THANKS I THOUGHT UDO SANG THIS SONG,TILL U TOLD ME DIFERFENT

    S.... B....

    Yes Peter has nice voice// and in my opinion in top ten best metal bassists ever***

    S.... B....

    @Hans Grooten not for loud and screaming// UDO one of best in world//peter great on more mellow stuff

  41. N.... S....

    Olá pessoal.Estou procurando uma música do Aceept.Não é esta mais eu gostei dela

  42. D.... N....

    Here's the proof Peter  Baltes sings this song.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'm_a_Rebel

    D.... N....

    He sang it in a gig in Stockholm around -92. Do it's PETER ALRIGHT!

  43. a.... c....

    kommatara......yper group....

  44. l.... ....

    try singing this song like he does. lol.

  45. R.... P....

    обалденно!

    R.... P....

    Песня просто БОМБА ! ТОЛЬКО шо за УРОД ниже Вашего комента всунул своих 3 - и грязних буквь| ? . Бь|дло невоспитанное лезет всегда и асюду ! .

  46. Y.... ....

    Please, just go away. Go very away.

  47. Y.... ....

    Seeing as how part of your screen name is also the title of one of the lamest movies ever, your opinion means less than nothing to me, so go felch yourself.

  48. Y.... ....

    With due respect, and I beg your pardon, but the word "tender", and even the notion of "tender", has no place in any metal song. Im an Accept fan since 80, but this sucks.

  49. r.... h....

    I like Peter's voice better than Udo singing ballads

  50. M.... D....

    Peter have a great voice

  51. K.... P....

    He sings as a backup with Peter. When he is told to, he sings as a backup, says he does some of the vocals in the description.

  52. m.... j....
