Avatar - The King Wants You Lyrics






A train in the distance
I hear the whistle
A lonely tune calling
Telling where the wind is blowing

At the station
And I'm just waiting
Spent my whole life not growing
Now the whole world is coming

I don't know why we're fighting
I just know that I'm going

A chip on my shoulder
Everyone's getting older
Heroes die young, that's fine
I'm still a child inside

Kid, you are a soldier now
The wind upon which all his words ride out
Kid, you're killing dragons now
With crown and guns we'll keep our fortress strong

The best of the greatest
The greatest but few
Those doomed to be heroes
The king wants you
The king wants you

Sixteen years, my mother's son
Now a big boy with big guns
Marching, falling, getting up
Never knew how to stop
Wrote a letter
Said things are better
They've taught me how to fight and die
I wish I knew how to live and lie

I don't know where we're going
It's better to go without knowing

I'm ready and willing
Literally make a killing
Dead today, it's all the same
As long as someone knows my name

Kid, you are a soldier now
The wind upon which all his words ride out
Kid, you're killing dragons now
With crown and guns we'll keep our fortress strong

The best of the greatest
The greatest but few
Those doomed to be heroes
The king wants you
The king wants you

(The king wants you)
(The king wants you)

Left, right left
Left, right left
Look to the king
All eyes on the king
All hail the king

The best of the greatest
The greatest but few
Those doomed to be heroes
The king wants you
The king wants you
The king wants you
The king wants you

    3:25- 3:56 is my favorite part

  7. r.... ....

    I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!

  8. Y.... X....

    This music video is everything!!!! I fucking love it

  9. D.... D....

    I think they were listening to A LOT of CKY when they wrote this one.

  10. M.... ....

    WHERE IS THE SEQUEL??!!!?! It's such a cliffhanger

  11. e.... ....

    Where's the continuation?

  12. N.... G....

    Who's buying tickets to Avatar Country. When is the next plane?

  13. S.... S....

    grendizer ❤️😂

  14. G.... :....

    This video is funny :3

  15. B.... A....

    Woow !!! Intense !!!😯😝

  16. u.... ....

    This is the only good song of theirs

    u.... ....

    what about house of eternal hunt, avatar country, let it burn, night never ending, black waters, eagle has landed etc?

    u.... ....

    @Luke Comiskey All their other stuff seemed like meaningless noise to me, the music and lyrics didn't evoke anything but annoyance.


    I think this song is good though. I actually like it. Both the music and lyrics click to me.

    u.... ....

    That’s why I recommended some the most emotional melodic songs in their catalogue. Judging by what you said, you probably listened to stuff like hail the apocalypse or bloody angel or some of the more heavy ones. That’s fine if you don’t like it, but i think you should give them a chance. Try house of eternal hunt or night never ending to start, then see. The musicianship is phenomenal, and Johannes’ lyrics and voice are far from meaningless.

    u.... ....

    @Luke Comiskey I listened to Queen of Blades it was not bad also.

  17. u.... ....

    This song appears to be about getting raised on video games and not being prepared to face the real world but instead unknowingly being brainwashed to go into the military.

  18. �.... �....

    Nice Dethklok style!

  19. h.... a....

    Alyona brought me here🙆

  20. D.... !....

    We Fear Not Our Mortality

    We Vow To Smite Our Enemies

  21. D.... G....

    Who else is here because they saw these guys absolutely DESTROY the stage at a Babymetal show? These guys were awesome last night in SF.

  22. B.... M....

    Such an amazing track and entertaining video as all of their videos are with a great sense of seriousness/humor! And something how an EVH influenced guitar solo fit right into this dark track? These guys made me want to listen to metal again. Please keep up this great work men of metal.

  23. W.... J....

    Did anyone notice how at the ending Johannes covered the King with his body? Or hugged him or whatever? It was my favourite moment, they think about everything, good job guys :D

    W.... J....

    Yessss mine too!!😁😁

  24. A.... V....

    🤘🎸 glory to oud king

  25. S.... ....

    I really don't understand much of anything in this video, but I DO know that I am likely witnessing the greatest story ever told.

  26. J.... G....

  31. B.... B....

    Did they start making songs for children?

    B.... B....

    Nah, they've been making music aimed at you for a while now.

  32. A.... A....

    The best song ❤️

  33. C.... ....

    Can we make this musical already

  34. C.... L....

    Apparrantly i missed major plot points in this.I like turtles

  35. V.... C....

    I watch this regulary, it's such a nice video/song

    The story we see behind the music is really beautiful, maybe sad, but beautiful

    The riff of guitar is so powerful, sometimes without reason I "hear"/sing/"mind-singing" it, and I think "damn, from where this riff come from?" (like, without listened the song from days) and at 11:30 PM to 02:30 AM I'm like "HOLY SHIT, I REMEMBER, THE KING WANT YOU, NEED TO WATCH IT AGAIN", over and over...

    Also, I've seen them at the roman Arena of Nîmes (south of France, where I come from) in "Guest" of Slipknot, it was awesome but it's too badthey haven't the entire concert stage unlike Slipknot, and they didn't play this song :(

    But hell, Nîmes stay from Avatar Contry's !!!

  36. R.... T....

    Jdukskh

  37. E.... G....

    The riff remainds my so much to tool, anyone else?

  38. T.... ....

    Dont know what the comments saying peopel call this too soft are on about, didnt see a singel one so far. Also, im a bit late to making a comment but i didnt know what to write 2 years ago. so imma just say this. If there was a avatar country, i'd happily lie my life down for it by charging into some techno shitheads with a mg42 or the metal equivalent of it.

  39. J.... B....

    No one else notice tobias forge of ghost at 3:12 ? Why the hell is he in this video? Lol

    J.... B....

    that's not him 😅

    J.... B....

    Is not Tobias.

  40. H.... ....

    Avatar is like Gorillaz in the sense that at first you hear them and think "Ehhhh, this isn't the best" but by the end of the week you have every lyric memorized.

  41. �.... �....

    Да чтобы Король сам на гитаре играл!... Немыслимо!)

  42. V.... ....

    Блядь, даже в клипе битва снята лучше, чем в четвёртой серии последнего сезона "Игр Престолов"

  43. P.... S....

  44. E.... H....

    RAP VS METAL it is obvious who'd win.

  69. D.... ....

    Been listening to Avatar for... Three to four days now? Every new song i listen to, its like a different genre of metal and it fits them. I love how when the singer screams, its not like your regular guttural-hate filled scream. And the drummer, i love him. The band is great. I am now a fan.

  70. D.... W....

    Needs more cowbell

  71. W.... C....

    A train in the distance
    I hear the whistle
    A lonely tune calling
    Telling where the wind is blowing

    At the station
    An army's waiting
    Spend my whole life not growing
    Now the whole world is coming

    I don't know why we're fighting
    I just know that we're going

    A chip on my shoulder
    Everyone's getting older
    Heroes die young, that's fine
    I'm still a child inside

    Kid you are a soldier now
    The wind upon which all his words ride out
    Can't kill and drag us down
    With crown and guns we'll keep our fortress strong

    The best of the greatest
    The greatest but few
    Those doomed to be heroes
    The King wants you!
    The King wants you!

    Sixteen years, my mother's son
    Now a big boy wielding guns
    Marching, falling, getting up
    Never knew how to stop
    Wrote a letter
    Said things are better
    Taught me how to fight and die
    I wish I knew how to live and lie
