Lizard King Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I look at you and I see myself
The death wish in your eyes betrays the man inside
I searched for you and I found myself
A soul thrashing in darkness

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes we lose control

[Chorus]
Together we are strong
No man is an island
The crystal ship belongs to careless children
Look at the state you're in
Hail the lizard king
Riding a storm inside
No one here gets out alive

[Verse 2]
The songs you sing preach the purest sin
A voice made to disarm society's dеmands
But you can't hide from the space within
Worlds crash in it's vastnеss

[Pre-Chorus]
You should have used it to gain control
[Chorus]
Together we are strong
No man is an island
The crystal ship belongs to careless children
Look at the state you're in
Hail the lizard king
Riding a storm inside
No one here gets out alive

[Bridge]
Songs of freedom
Songs of change
Songs that feel like revolution
Songs for people who are strange

[Verse 3]
Where did you go when the sky caved in?
The parasites will find a loophole in your mind
The worms adore such graceful limbs
Like souls thrashing in darkness

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes they lose control

[Chorus]
Together we are strong
No man is an island
The crystal ship belongs to careless children
Look at the state you're in
Hail the lizard king
Riding a storm inside
No one here gets out alive

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
