IVAR THE BONELESS

lyrics

I was born with two legs that didn't work
It was nobody's fault it must have been fate
Spent my youth seeking my father's smile
No approval turned to hate
Everywhere I go I look up I have no choice
But my eyes are sharp and my hearing is keen
I may be a cripple from the waist down to my toes
But I know what I've heard and I know what I've seen

Let me be... in my misery
I want to sing... but I just scream
I scream out loud when no one else is around
Just wait and see... I'll be king... an angry king

From early on the rage would build and I'd push it down
I pushed it down so far it stole my youth
In my heart of heart of hearts I cried
A volcano on the verge I knew
Don't underestimate me in my mind you're dead
I've killed you over a thousand times
No one believes me but I am my father's pride
His blood runs through this legacy of mine

Let me be... in my misery
I want to sing... but I just scream
I scream out loud when no one else is around
Just wait and see... I'll be king... an angry king
