Lyrics

It was crime at the time but the laws, we changed 'em, though the hero for hire's forever the same one. introducing for the first time, pharaoh on the microphone. sing all hail, what'll be revealed today when we peer into the great unknown, from the line to the throne? awakened to cheers after years on the faultline, we are shocked to be here in the face of the meantime. pharaoh, all your methods have taught me is to separate my blood from bone. it will all fail, feeling what I feel today, when we peer into the great unknown, from the line to the throne. form a line through here, form a line to the throne. alone in the chain, it remains to be seen how, how well you can play when the pawn takes a queen now. introducing for the first time, pharaoh on the microphone. sing all hail, what'll be revealed today when we peer into the great unknown, from the line to the throne? form a line through here, form a line to the throne. it was crime at the time but the laws have changed
