[Intro]
   Em                                
Whoever can string the old king's bow
    G                               
And shoot though twelve axes cleanly
     Em                                     
Will be the new king, sit down at the throne
  G                  
Penelope as his queen
Em          
Where is he?
               B                               
Where is the man who can string this bow, woah?

[Verse]
  Em                    B                        
Screw this competition, we've been here for hours
G                           Am                     
None of us can string this, we don't have the power
  Em                      B              
Screw this damn challenge, no more delays
G                              B      
Can't you guys see we're being played?
This is how they

[Chorus]
Em                                         
(Hold us down) while the throne gets colder
B7                                
(Hold us down) while we slowly age
G                      D              
Hold us down while the boy gets bolder
Am           Bm          C             B7   
Where in the hell is our pride and our rage?
Em                                        
(Here and now) there's a chance for action
B7                                
(Here and now) we can take control
G                     D            
Here and now, burn it down to ashes
Am          Bm      C        B7  
Channel the fire inside your soul

[Verse]
Em Em Em                          
Haven't you noticed who's missing?
BBB                                    
Don't you know the prince is not around
Em           D    C          B      
I heard he's on a diplomatic mission
    Am        Bm     C             B7      
And I heard today he comes back to town, so
Em                              
I say we gather near the beaches
B                            
I say we wait 'til he arrives
Em            D         C            B        
Then, when he docks his ship, we can breach it
Am           Bm     C          B7        
Let us leave now, today we can strike and

[Chorus]
Em                                        
(Hold him down) 'til the boy stops shaking
B7                                     
(Hold him down) while I slit his throat
G                     D               
Hold him down while I slowly break his
Am         Bm         C              B7   
Pride, his trust, his faith, and his bones
Em                             
(Cut him down) into tiny pieces
B7                                 
(Throw him down) in the great below
G                      D                  
When the crown wonders where the prince is
Am       Bm        C      B7   
Only the ocean and I will know!

[Bridge]
C            B           
And when the deed is done
B7            Em             
The queen will have no one to
C                        B            
Stop us from breaking her bedroom door
C                       B               
Stop us from taking her love and more...
And then we'll

[Chorus]
Em                                    
(Hold her down) while her gate is open
Em                                 
(Hold her down) while I get a taste
Em                                       
(Hold her down) while we share her spoils
Am         Bm      C          B7   
I will not let any part go to waste
C                       B7                                   
(Here and now there's a chance for action) Chance for action!
Em                   D                          
(Here and now we can take control) Take control!
C                      B7            
(Here and now, burn it down to ashes)
Am          Bm      C        B7       
Channel the fire inside your soul, and

[Outro]
Em               B7                                  
(Hold them down! Hold them down!) Hold them down, Oh!
G                D               
(Hold them down! Hold them down!)
Em               B7                              
(Hold them down! Hold them down!) Hold them down!
Am          Bm      C        B7        
Channel the fire inside your soul, and-
