Monkey Prince

Monkey Prince.

Verse 1:

Living is painful
When you are hated
Under the rainfall
Pouring through roofs
Stalking through gutters
Contaminated
Warlord of throatcutters
And fallen youth.

Sick, angry and lost,
Poor child of the Maker,
He threads like a ghost,
Unseen in plain sight.
Bad deals he is making
With shady lawbreakers
By trading green papers
For powder of white.

He's swift as a monkey
And kills for a penny
For a desperate junkie
He's not lacking wits
The leader of few
But feared by the many
Throughout his crew
He's known as the Prince.

Chorus:

For him it's ain't easy
Just to stay alive
His hunt's never ceasing
Nor does his wild drive.
He cuts his own people
To keep his crown on
The dead and the crippled
Lie under his throne.

A friend to nobody,
A foe to the rest.
A heart poor and shoddy
Pumps blood through his chest.
Pathetic but daring,
Unbroken but bent,
He's never been caring
For his own descent.

He is the ruler, the judge and the jury
And you'll never put him down.
He is the ruler, the judge and the jury
And He'll never lose his crown.

Verse 2:

He's stuck in the jungle
The prey and the hunter
He's strengthened and mangled
By life on the run.
Hiding in shadow
Ferocious black panther
His pace be so mellow,
He hides from the sun.

Those finding their meaning
In struggle and strife
Are their lives worth living
For their hearts to beat ?
His life drove him loco
But who drove his life ?
Like southern sirocco
He lives off the heat.

His fiery soul
Is burning like parchment
He never set goals
Except for to strive.
He's always been reigning
Despite his detachment,
But always been failing
To care for his life.

Chorus:

For him it's ain't easy
Just to stay alive
His hunt's never ceasing
Nor does his wild drive.
He cuts his own people
To keep his crown on
The dead and the crippled
Lie under his throne.

A friend to nobody,
A foe to the rest.
A heart poor and shoddy
Pumps blood through his chest.
Pathetic but daring,
Unbroken but bent,
He's never been caring
For his own descent.

He is the ruler, the judge and the jury
And you'll never put him down.
He is the ruler, the judge and the jury
And He'll never lose his crown.
