Let's recall days long ago, before the red-fanged wolf was loosed.
There were thrones built for men, where now chicken hawks doth roost.
Speaking boldly for the state, words to warfare instigate,
but when it comes make no mistake, they won't be sharing in your fate.

They won't fight (Die for the king)
by your side. (Die for the king)
They will hide (Die for the king)
far from sight. (Die for the)

So tell me why should I? (Die for the king)
What would he care if I died? (Die for the king)
What does he care for my tribe? (Die for the king)
He's sowing destructive seeds, well, (Die for the king)
why would I think he'd fight for me? (Die for the king)

Let's recall those men of lore, who pulled weapons out of stone.
They had lands to defend, and those lands were called home.
Now we tend to foreign dirt, spreading out across the earth.
While on his throne a man of girth need not justify his worth.

They won't fight (Die for the king)
by your side. (Die for the king)
They will hide (Die for the king)
far from sight. (Die for the)

So tell me why should I? (Die for the king)
What would he care if I died? (Die for the king)
What does he care for my tribe? (Die for the king)
He's sowing destructive seeds, well, (Die for the king)
why would I think he'd fight for me? (Die for the king)

Die for the. Die for the. Die for the.
Die for the king.

Let's recall not long ago, statesmen knew both gun and sword.
Now our rulers are soft of hand while being warriors in word.
The wolf is dead. The table burned. This land is naught of their concern.
The oaths are broken, law's overturned, and now the people start to learn.

They won't fight (Die for the king)
by your side. (Die for the king)
They will hide (Die for the king)
far from sight. (Die for the)

So tell me why should I? (Die for the king)
What would he care if I died? (Die for the king)
What does he care for my tribe? (Die for the king)
He's sowing destructive seeds, well, (Die for the king)
why would I think he'd fight for me? (Die for the king)
