[English]

Say I'm cold hearted

But I'm just gettin' started

Got my eyes on the target

Now, now

'til the battle's won

'til kingdom come

I'll never run

Best to give me your loyalty

'cause I'm takin' the world you'll see

They'll be callin' me, callin' me

They'll be callin' me royalty

Best to give me your loyalty

'cause I'm takin' the world you'll see

They'll be callin' me, callin' me

They'll be callin' me royalty

They'll be callin' me royalty

They say I'm dangerous

'cause I broke all the cages

No I won't sit and take it

Now, now

They left me for dead

I guess they never learn

Everytime I break

There's just more pain to burn

They'll never

never

never learn

'til the battle's won

'til kingdom come

I'll never run

Best to give me your loyalty

'cause I'm takin' the world you'll see

They'll be callin' me, callin' me

They'll be callin' me royalty

Best to give me your loyalty

'cause I'm takin' the world you'll see

They'll be callin' me, callin' me

They'll be callin' me royalty

They'll be callin' me royalty

They'll be callin' me royalty

They'll be callin' me royalty
