The Man Who Would Be King

Iron Maiden

Transposer:

Intro: | | | | | 2x Verse 1: As he travels on the beast of burden Moving up along the mountainside As he gazes looking down the valley No regrets but his pride As he journeys across mountain passes Insignificance sweeps over him His reflection of the beauty ’round him Feeling empty inside He is running from his wildest thoughts He is running from his everything He is looking now to find something Hoping he could be saved Instrumental | | | | | 4x Verse 2: He’s searching for the answer now It’s something that he’s managed to avoid up to now Real conviction that he craves He needs to find the answer sooner than later Instrumental | | | Verse 3: Pushed himself to the limits He had to strive for all the harder things in life But what the cost to give in now? His life his time are the only things that he has Pre-Chorus Life is not a rehearsal All he has is the one chance to get it right Leaving really is the only way to know Maybe one day they’ll forgive him what he’s done But now the pain of lying too early in the grave Destiny no good to hide away Penance now will be his only way Understand no good to run away Penance now will be his saving grace Solo | | | | | 4x Instrumental | | | 2x | | | | | Verse 4: He tries to make his peace with God All is forgivable but it’s left a little late Trying something that he’s not Is it possible to change such a lot? Instrumental | | | Verse 5: He’s taken someone’s life away There’s not a day goes by he regrets what he’s done He should have found another way But the good book says: "An eye for an eye" Pre-Chorus In reflecting on decisions that were made On the judgements that will haunt him till his grave No one has the right to take another life But in his mind he had no choice so be it Destiny no good to hide away Penance now will be his only way Understand no good to run away Penance now will be his saving grace Destiny no good to hide away Penance now will be his only way Understand no good to run away Penance now will be his saving grace Instrumental | | | 4x Outro Far far away the man who would be king Far far away the man who would be king So far away the man who would be king So far away the man who would be king Far far away the man who would be king

La chanson narre le parcours d'un homme en quête de sens, qui traverse des paysages grandioses tout en étant rongé par ses regrets et sa fierté. Il se rend compte de l'insignifiance de ses actions face à la beauté du monde qui l'entoure. À la recherche d'une réponse, il est forcé de confronter ses choix passés, notamment ceux qui lui pèsent sur la conscience, comme la vie qu'il a ôtée. Malgré sa tentative de se réconcilier avec Dieu, il réalise que le chemin de la rédemption est semé d'embûches et qu'il lui reste peu de temps pour changer. Le contexte de la chanson évoque des thèmes universels tels que la réflexion sur la vie, le poids des décisions et la quête de pardon. C'est une exploration des conséquences des actions humaines et de la lutte pour trouver la paix intérieure après des choix traumatisants.
