[Blackmore/Dio/Powell]

Danger, danger
The Queen's about to kill
A stranger, stranger

Life's about to spill

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh no
Move away from harm
I need a spell, a charm
Fly like the wind
And the pawn will be gone
Speed on, and on

Kill the king
Tear him down
Kill the king
Strike him down

Power, power
Happens every day
Power, devour.
All along the way

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]

Kill the king

Treason, treason
The spectre looms again
Treason, reason
The realm is safe ... and then

Oh no
Move away from harm
I need a spell, a charm
Fly like the rainbow
And the pawn will be gone
Speed on, and on

Kill the king
Strike him down
Kill the king
Got to take his crown
