All bow down to the queen
Who sold her nation for wealth
All bow down to the queen
Who demands your absolute attention
And all rise rise for the king
Who raised his army of one-armed soldiers
And all rise for the king
Who accepted this terrible bargain
In her tower she keeps her court
She hides behind the walls of an old iron fort
Learned from her father how to extort
The old man wasn't around for that long
Decided that her brother's life would be cut short
Her sister too now sleeps beneath our port
A child inside her she felt ready to abort
Now the queen rules with her consort
All bow down to the queen
Who sold her nation for wealth
All bow down to the queen
Who demands your absolute attention
I was taken from my ivory tower
I cannot say when she went mad with power
My wife she died in a bullet shower
Sometimes I wish I could have joined her
The queen played cards with the king of thieves for a simple wager of land
This game was set up on her command
But she lost the game which was quite unplanned
Now the man sleeps with no right hand
She has sent away the children of this nation
They advertise it as a hero's salvation
While the family is forced to make a donation
Even me they threatened with castration
The young men come back with their eyes white
With scars on their faces that shine bright
The only thing they now know how to do is fight
Brainwashed to think they're some kind of white knight
All bow down to the queen
Who sold her nation for wealth
All bow down to the queen
Who demands your absolute attention
And all rise rise for the king
Who raised his army of one-armed soldiers
And all rise for the king
Who accepted this terrible bargain
