Intro

 

Verse 1

It was crime at the time but the laws, we changed 'em 
Though the hero for hire's forever the same one 
Introducing for the first time, Pharaoh on the microphone

Pre-chorus 1

Sing all hail, what will be revealed today, when we peer to the great unknown
Form a line to the throne 

Verse 2

Awakened to cheers after years on the faultline 
We are shocked to be here in the face of the meantime 
Pharaoh all your methods have taught me is to separate my birth from bone

Pre-chorus 2

It will all fail, feeling what I feel today, when we peer to the great unknown
Form a line to the throne

Chorus

[(Na na na na na na)...form a line through here (x2) (Na na na na na na na na)
Form a line to the throne (x2)] x2

Verse 3

Alone in the chain it remains to be seen how 
how well you play when the pawn takes a queen now 
Introducing for the first time, Pharaoh on the microphone
Repeat Pre-chorus 1 (x2)
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Outro Verse

It was crime at the time but the laws have changed, yeah! (x2)
