Long Live The King Written by Lawrence Gowan, Ricky Philips, Tommy Shaw, Will Evankovich Lead Vocals by  Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube   Locked in the tower of the castle wall, there's a stranger Waiting for his day And things that he'd say To bring down the old one High above the ranks of greed and confusion Almost half asleep, in the belly of the beast Awaits a Monster The King is dead And the world is set on fire And we all scream, "long live the king!"

The king is dead And the world is set on fire And we all scream, long live the king Long live the king Long live the king
