King of the Arena

Verse 1

A merchant of delight and he's the life of the party

He's got the whole town at his feet

As the curtains rise he's giving his presentation

In the banquet halls of the elite

Pre-Chorus

He's the first at the table

A prince and a peer

And when he walks in the crowd goes

"Ooh-ooh-ooh!"

He's willing and able

To do that which he's feared

And when he walks out the crowd goes

"Ooh-ooh-ooh!"

Chorus

Watch the games in the arena

Watch him cheer from the stands

He's the king of the arena

He's got the whole world in his hands

Verse 2

As the city sleeps he's making his connections

With the men who pull the strings

While the people pray and sing songs of redemption

The merchant sells them hope on silver wings

Pre-Chorus

They'll give him their daughters

He'll give 'em the moon

And when they sign on the line they go

"Ooh-ooh-ooh!"

He's feeding the vultures

He's bringing the doom

And when they sign on the line they go

"Ooh-ooh-ooh!"

Chorus

Watch the games in the arena

Watch him cheer from the stands

He's the king of the arena

He's got the whole world in his hands

Bridge

(He's got the world in his hands)

He's got the whole world in his hands

(He's got the world in his hands)

He's got the whole world in his hands

(He's got the world in his hands)

He's got the whole world in his hands

(He's got the world in his hands)

He's got the whole world in his hands

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Watch the games in the arena

Watch him cheer from the stands

He's the king of the arena

He's got the whole world in his hands

Watch the games in the arena

Watch him cheer from the stands

He's the king of the arena

He's got the whole world in his hands

Outro

(He's got the world in his hands)

He's got the whole world in his hands

(He's got the world in his hands)

He's got the whole world in his hands

(He's got the world in his hands)

He's got the whole world in his hands

(He's got the world in his hands)

He's got the whole world in his hands
