Emry Tupper - Coward King Lyrics

I've got somethin' to say to you
Story before I bid you adieu
'Bout a king who hid behind his pillars of stone
And about how he got overthrown
He built himself a poor reputation
His servants dealt with ev'ry situation
But then when it came time to go
The king just stood there and said no

[Chorus]
Pressures of bein' king
They can be so overwhelming
Lived in fear and regret
His whole life until his last breath
It's the coward king

[Trumpet Solo]

His daughter was no stranger to pain
Neglect does untold things to the brain
She closed herself off from all
Well-acquainted with her bedroom walls
One night she couldn't take it anymore
Stood outside the king and queen's door
Pearly gates awaited them both
Watch as the new queen took her oath

Pressures of bein' king
They can be so overwhelming
You'd think you should sympathize
But he lead himself to his own demise
It's the coward king

Coward King
Coward King
Coward King
