The Man Who Would Be King Lyrics

Lyric discussion by RRichey21 

Cover art for The Man Who Would Be King lyrics by Dio

So, this song has mutiple parts, the song is really referencing the beginning question: do angels really sing for the man would would be king? (which our question as the listener is "who is the the man who would be king; Jesus? (the true king of kings, or those in power, and have kingship/poltical power) which he then kinda answers with: the "we laugh at your religion, we do this for the man who would be king?" then he continues the question by asking: 'is the devil the man who would be king' (assuming after seeing the state of this world that this man brought) which then leads into part 3 which is some war state that says he forgets the question and just goes to war.. for he hasn't found the time.. Ronnie james DIO IS the best song writer that people have began to over look entirely.. May his legend continue forever in the hearts of those who hear the true meanings of his songs.. -RR
