Verse 1:
Em       C
I have not come to worship you
   Am       F
Or lay flowers at your throne

I have not come to plead or beg
   Am        F
Or to claim what is my own

Oh I know you are the King
C            Bb
And you say your word is Law

Verse 2:
Em     C
I have come to cut you down
   Am       F
And to leave your body dead
Em       C
You do not mean so much to me
    Am       F
Nor that crown upon your head

Chorus:
C            Bb
You are just the same as me

And the time has come for you to die

Verse 3:
Em        C
And now you plead, please spare my life
    Am       F
You know I'm the chosen one
Em       C
I don't believe what you've decreed
     Am       F
And I must do what must be done

Chorus:
C           Bb
You say you're the only king
C              Bb
But your words just fall like rain
Em          F  G   Am   Em
And the time has come for you to die
