Lyrics for Song: If I Were King
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Queensryche
I have so much more to say, my brother.
Can you hear me?
A fool is left to live as the brave ones fall.
I swear if I were able,
I would have done the same for you.
But now you're gone and I wish I were too.
I spend all my time asking questions,
How can I pay you back when
the price you paid was so high, my friends.
If I were King of all I imagine,
I would trade all I am
to have you by my side.
If I were King.
I have too much time today, my brother.
Can you hear me?
I know where I am, but I still feel lost.
Please know that I am grateful
for the years you gave to me.
Everything's changed, but nothing changes
for you.
I won't waste my life asking questions.
I've seen the horror of war and
there's so much more for a man who's been
where I've been.
If I were King of all I imagine,
I would trade what I have
to have you back at my side.
If I were King of all I imagine,
we would both be back home
living the rest of our lives.
If I were King.

If I Were King
Queensryche's 'If I Were King' stands as a defining track from their 1994 debut album, Promised Land. The song exemplifies the band's early fusion of progressive metal with melodic sensibilities, featuring the distinctive vocal style of Michael Whiteman. With its soaring chorus and intricate guitar work, the recording established the template for the group's subsequent career. It remains a staple of their discography, often performed live and celebrated for its anthemic quality within the power metal genre. The track reflects the band's commitment to complex song structures and emotional depth, cementing their reputation as innovators in the mid-90s metal scene. |
