Origineel
[Chorus 1: Chris Cornell]
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
[Verse 1: Zac Brown]
Black dog drinks from the water trying to cool his tongue
Like the king, finds no peace, his work is never done
Night falls, smoke on the water, darkness closes in
Cold white hand in the deep will drown you for your sins
[Chorus 2: Zac Brown]
It’s a life long expedition
Second guessing your decisions
Trying to find out what’s been missing
Pages keep on filling
[Bridge: Zac Brown]
Crying out “Go and wake the king”
Call to arms for those who kiss the ring
Stand your ground, the walls are coming down
It’s do or die! Do or die!
[Chorus 1: Chris Cornell]
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
[Verse 2: Zac Brown]
Mad man, blood on the altar, The Queen will have his head
His ghost will shake those rattling chains long after he’s dead
No soul knows his trouble high upon his throne
Loved by few and judged by many, he bears that weight alone
[Chorus 2: Chris Cornell]
It’s a life long expedition
Second guessing your decisions
Trying to find out what’s been missing
Pages keep on filling
[Bridge: Chris Cornell]
Crying out “Go and wake the king”
Call to arms for those who kiss the ring
Stand your ground, yeah the walls are coming down
It’s do or die! Do or die!
[Chorus 1: Chris Cornell]
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Vertaling
[Chorus 1: Chris Cornell]
Zwaar is het hoofd dat de kroon draagt
Zwaar is het hoofd dat de kroon draagt
[Verse 1: Zac Brown]
Black dog drinkt van het water om zijn tong af te koelen
Like the king, finds no peace, his work is never done
De nacht valt, rook op het water, duisternis sluit in
Koude witte hand in de diepte zal je verdrinken voor je zonden
[Chorus 2: Zac Brown]
It’s a life long expedition
Second guessing your decisions
Proberen uit te vinden wat er ontbreekt
Pagina’s blijven zich vullen
[Brug: Zac Brown]
Schreeuwend “Ga en wek de koning”
Oproep tot de wapens voor hen die de ring kussen
Sta je mannetje, de muren komen naar beneden
Het is doen of sterven! Doen of sterven!
[Chorus 1: Chris Cornell]
Zwaar is het hoofd dat de kroon draagt
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
[Verse 2: Zac Brown]
Mad man, blood on the altar, The Queen will have his head
His ghost will shake those rattling chains long after he’s dead
Geen ziel kent zijn problemen hoog op zijn troon
Geliefd door weinigen en veroordeeld door velen, draagt hij dat gewicht alleen
[Chorus 2: Chris Cornell]
It’s a life long expedition
Second guessing your decisions
Trying to find out what’s been missing
Pagina’s blijven zich vullen
[Brug: Chris Cornell]
Crying out “Go and wake the king”
Call to arms for those who kiss the ring
Stand your ground, yeah the walls are coming down
Het is doen of sterven. Doen of sterven.
[Chorus 1: Chris Cornell]
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
