We brought you up, we'll bring you down
We're riling up
We're riling up
This American carcass beckons
Don't fall asleep at the wake of a nation

The king is dead

Dies irae

Beyond the shadow of a doubt again
The king is dead
Better look alive than disappear, my friend
Dies irae
Now you're just one of a billion
The king is dead
Not worth the hassle, but you can still pretend
Dies irae

Gib uns die Gabe, gib uns deine Lorbeeren
Gib uns die gäbe sofort
The king is dead

And it seems we ain't playing anymore
Pick it out, file your complaint at the door
Don't you think we grow tame over time
The king is dead, don't you get
Dies irae

This American carcass beckons
Don't fall asleep at the wake of a nation
Dies irae

This American carcass beckons
Don't fall asleep

Gib uns die Gabe, gib uns deine Lorbeeren
Gib uns die gäbe sofort
Gib uns die Gabe, gib uns deine Lorbeeren
Gib uns die gäbe sofort
The king is dead
