Once a king of a city
Woman by his side, his land was taken
Oh, ooh

Once a king of a city
Woman by his side, his land was taken
Oh, ooh

Once a king of a city
Woman by his side, his land was taken
Oh, ooh

Once a king of a city
Woman by his side, his land was taken
Oh, ooh

I've walked this land once before
I'll search for peace ever more
I sat down and cried some tears
I remember that time I sat here once before
On a throne with no fear

I looked up, in the distance I saw
A silhouette of a man
He's crying out for freedom
Once a king of a city
Woman by his side, his land was taken

I had to think up a plan, in the hills I began
To build my new kingdom
There was no time to look back
At mistakes from the past, I tried so hard

I looked up, in the distance I saw
A silhouette of a man
He's crying out for freedom
Once a king of a city
Woman by his side, his land was taken
Everything was his, his land, his people

I looked up, in the distance I saw
A silhouette of a man
He's crying out for freedom
Once a king of a city
Woman by his side, his land was taken
Everything was his, his land, his people

Oh, yeah
Once a king

I've walked this land once before
I'll search for peace ever more
I sat down and cried some tears
I remember that time I sat here once before
On a throne with no fear

I looked up, in the distance I saw
A silhouette of a man
He's crying out for freedom
Once a king of a city
Woman by his side, his land was taken
Everything was his, his land, his people

I looked up, in the distance I saw
A silhouette of a man
He's crying out for freedom
Once a king of a city
Woman by his side, his land was taken
Everything was his, his land, his people

Everything was his, oh, yeah
Everything was his
