[intro]
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead

[chorus]
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead

[verse 1]
from the cane to the rum, now rum to kingdom come
it was the reason why we came there from where we came from
from the carrack to the barrack, to press out the syrup
to send the best away and drink the rest as guarap
glucose, fructose, maltose, overdose
last mill closed, old king comatose
so from island to island and coast to coast
gone was the sovereign that ruled the throne

[chorus]
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead
eh, eh come again?
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead

[verse 2]
long was his reign, the years of lash and chain
h-rn blown in the night to start the canboulay
where flames burn night and day keeping snakes at bay
to sweeten cakes a continent away
none mourned his demise, bittersweet enterprise
few surprised to see the king capsize
so from island to island and coast to coast
gone was the king that sat on the throne

[chorus]
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead

[verse 3]
while rum glowed like gold in the gl-sses
blood flowed thick and slow like mol-sses
gilded age, birds sang in the cage
but time is always turning another page
kingdom overgrown in the gr-sses
none can hold back time as it p-sses
of his domain all that remains
is ruins standing in fields of cane

[chorus]
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead
yeah, that’s what they said
king sugar dead
ay, that’s what they said
king sugar dead
that’s what they said
king sugar dead
yeah, that’s what they said
king sugar dead
yeah, that’s what they said
king sugar dead
king sugar dead
king sugar dead

[instrumental outro]
