Don’t Mess With Me (Bow or Break)

Verse 1

They buried me alive down in the dirt

Left a crown of thorns on my burned-up hurt

But the ground can't hold a storm for long

Now I'm clawing through the rubble to the sound of my own song

Pre-Chorus

You took my name and you carved it out

But a lion don't forget its roar

Chorus

The king is back and don't mess with me

I wear the scars like royalty

The king is back yeah come and see

You bow or break before me

Post-Chorus

K-K-King is back

Yeah the king is back

Verse 2

Every throne you built was on borrowed bone

Now I'm standing in the ashes on my own

You made a monument to all your lies

Watch the empire crumble when the king arises

Pre-Chorus

You thought the silence meant I let it go

But a mountain always answers back

Chorus

The king is back and don't mess with me

I wear the scars like royalty

The king is back yeah come and see

You bow or break before me

Post-Chorus

K-K-King is back

Yeah the king is back

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Raise your glass to the broken crown

To every hand that tried to drag me down

I'm the echo you can't outrun

The war is over but I've only just begun

Chorus

The king is back and don't mess with me

I wear the scars like royalty

The king is back yeah come and see

You bow or break before me

Post-Chorus

K-K-King is back

Yeah the king is back
