Therion

Therion (formerly Megatherion) is a Swedish symphonic metal band founded by Christofer Johnsson in 1987. The word "therion" comes from the Greek therion (θηρίον), meaning "Beast," i.e., that of the Christian Book of Revelation. However, the band's name is a homage to the Celtic Frost album To Mega Therion. more »

He was the leader of a small gang
Committing crimes each day
But time has changed as he was proud
It's so far away
He took living easy, his bad reputation
Oh, it was known all around
But he didn't care, no
He made the demandings
Now he is down and out

Though he knew the trick of life
Prowling in the dark
Now he's left by all his friends
'Cause he lived apart
But he was a leader, a vicious survivor
His name is covered with blood
Now he's just a number, he lost all his power
The king has lost his place

Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
It's too late for the hide, late for to hide

He was the leader of a small gang
Committing crimes each day
But time has changed as he was proud
It's so far away
He took living easy, his bad reputation
Oh, it was known all around
But he didn't care, no
He made the demandings
Now he is down and out

Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
It's too late for the hide
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down, down, down, for the king lost his crown
It's too late for the hide, late for to hide
