Is this a dagger I see before me?
Caught in a coup d’état, no escape from insanity
Open your eyes, hear the witches’ lies and see
I’m just a poor king, I need your sympathy
Because it’s easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the throne goes, doesn’t really matter to me, to me

Lady, just killed a man
But a knife into his chest, killed him while he was at his best
Lady, his reign had just begun
But now I’ve gone and taken it away.
Lady, ooh,
I don’t want to be king;
The thane of Cawdor has a much better ring to its name, to its name
But nothing really matters…

Too late, the time has come
Send shivers down my spine, damned spot bleeding all the time
Goodbye, King Duncan, we knew ye well
But now it’s time for me to seize the throne
Lady, ooh
Now I am the king
If only they knew how much tyranny I will bring
To Scotland, to Scotland
But nothing really matters…

(Instrumental)

I see a predestined danger of a man
“Beware Macduff! Beware Macduff! Beware the thane of Fife!”
Birnam Wood at Dunsinane, slowly coming to drive me insane
‘Cause they killed Banquo (they killed Banquo), they killed Banquo (they killed Banquo)
They killed Banquo in the woods (they killed Banquo-o-o-o-o-o)
"I’m such a great king, everybody loves me."
"He’s such a lousy king, we all want to kill him,
We must rid our lives of this monstrosity."

Easy come, easy go, will you let me live?
Turn, hell-hound, turn! Macduff won’t let you live! (Let me live!)
Turn, hell-hound, turn! Macduff won’t let you live! (Let me live!)
(Repeat 2X)
Oh, Macduff, Macduff, Macduff, let me live
Mister Macduff has a dagger put aside for thee, for thee, for thee…..

(Instrumental #2)

So you think you can beat me and leave me for dead
So you think you can kill me and cut off my head
Oh, lady, they did it to me, lady
They went and cut off, they went and cut off, they went and cut off my head

(Instrumental fade out)

All hail, King of Scotland…..
