[Verse 1]
I'll climb the hill and I won't come down
I can see the world and its turn has come for it to bow
I live for the day, I win the fight
Finally, I get to choose what's wrong and what is right

[Chorus]
I will be the king and I will be in charge of everything
Whoa-o-oh, I have the right to reign
I never need your permission again
Whoa-o-oh, I hope you're on my side
Traitors cannot hide when I am king, when I am

[Verse 2]
When I take the throne, you'll drop the knee
And ask yourself why you were not more loyal to me
When I take your head, the world will see
All were wrong who doubted me and my sovereignty

[Bridge]
Oh, I never gave consent
To the shackles in which I spent
Too long to ever cry surrender
Now the world must pay
For making me this way
Heavy's the head that wears the crown
Oh-oh
[Chorus]
I will be the king and I will be in charge of everything
Whoa-o-oh, I have the right to reign
I never need your permission again
Whoa-o-oh, I hope you're on my side
Traitors cannot hide when I am king, when I am king
