Lyrics
[verse]
They wanted a king like the nations had
With a sword and a wall and a tax to pay
And the one who came was carrying them
And they could not see it for the fear in the way
[chorus]
It is a heavy thing, the weight of the crown
It does not lift you, it sets you down
Under the whole of a people's need
The king is the one who bleeds
[verse]
The empire was watching from the colonnade
And a nation that hoped could be called a crime
So they chose the safety of a quiet street
And they asked him to come another time
[bridge]
Not a throne above them, a shoulder underneath
Not a hand that takes, a hand beneath
[chorus]
It is a heavy thing, the weight of the crown
It does not lift you, it sets you down
Under the whole of a people's need
The king is the one who bleeds
