lyrics

Smell the fear on the breath
Of the impostor on the throne
He has just dialed 666
Nobody answers the phone
And the crowd in the square
Has come to watch his palace burn
They've come to call for
The real King to return

It's an excellent time to panic
It's an excellent time to run
Nobody knows how bad it's gonna be
But it sure won't be any fun
Have you seen the look on his face
At the prospect of his subjects
Dancing on his grave
They only care about one thing
The return of the King

Camera crews embedded on-site
Defy the heat in the endless line
They'll give just about anything
To catch a glimpse of the new King

Somebody has the nerve to ask
Who is this King exactly?
Well, the King of Kings of course
They answer matter-of-factly
The King of Kings

about

Diftong The Netherlands

Welcome to Diftong’s heartfelt songs!

In 2022, after six albums with poetic songs on the edges of rock, country and folk, I decided the time was right to start something completely different: writing songs in Dutch. These Dutch songs will be released as single tracks and are accompanied by a blog (BOSGOD).

I sure hope that you enjoy my music and lyrics. Thanks for listening!
