About Hail to the King

“Hail to the King” is an homage to all the music that the band loves, it’s a song for the fans to feel Avenged’s power. M. Shadows explains the song like this: “Hail to the King” is a question about how society sees itself. From day one, people have elected kings and leaders, people have followed presidents, and they cry over who the new pope is. Sometimes you’ve got to step back and say, “What are we doing here? Why do we need all of these people to tell us how to run our lives?.” .

Hail to the King Lyrics

[01:05.78] Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
[01:09.64] Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid
[01:13.74] Children roam the streets, now orphans of war
[01:17.69] Bodies hanging in the streets to adore
[01:21.79] Royal flames will carve a path in chaos
[01:25.95] Bringing daylight to the night
[01:30.14] Death is riding into town with armor
[01:33.91] They've come to take all your rights
[01:36.54] Hail to the king
[01:40.66] Hail to the one
[01:44.66] Kneel to the crown
[01:48.65] Stand in the sun
[01:53.00] Hail to the king
[01:55.76] (Hail, hail, hail!)
[01:59.40] The king
[02:02.49] Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne
[02:06.56] Born again, but it's too late to atone
[02:10.79] No mercy from the edge of the blade
[02:14.57] Dare escape and learn the price to be paid
[02:18.72] Let the water flow with shades of red now
[02:22.82] Arrows black out all the light (light)
[02:26.87] Death is riding into town with armor
[02:30.86] They've come to grant you your rights
[02:33.54] Hail to the king
[02:37.66] Hail to the one
[02:41.72] Kneel to the crown
[02:45.66] Stand in the sun
[02:49.79] Hail to the king
[02:52.66] (Hail, hail, hail!)
[02:56.26] The king
[02:59.91]
[03:55.33] There's a taste of fear
[03:59.54] When the henchmen call
[04:03.60] Iron fist to tame the land
[04:07.78] Iron fist to claim it all
[04:13.24] Hail to the king
[04:17.39] Hail to the one
[04:21.23] Kneel to the crown
[04:25.28] Stand in the sun
[04:29.22] Hail to the king
[04:33.46] Hail to the one
[04:37.55] Kneel to the crown
[04:41.56] Stand in the sun
[04:45.82] Hail to the king
[04:48.26] (Hail, hail, hail!)
[04:50.21]
