"Kiss the Ring," the heaveningly and luscious single from Nicholas Dante's debut album "Inferno."
lyrics
I know how to overcome
Been hit by a serpent’s tongue
But now that the snake is gone
Nobody can stop me
Sit so pretty on my throne
Jaws drop from this moment on
My crown is a heavy one
That only I can carry
I saw writing there on the walls
Watched other rulers fall
The old king is dead
I had to fight for the finer things
He tried to take from me
Off with his head
Reclaiming my crown
You’re under my rule now
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
So damn powerful
Midas touch I’m solid gold
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss the ring
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss the ring
Pour another one in my little gold cup
Got em bowing down, second that I pull up
All your eyes on me begging for that one touch
I’m the real thing, guess you better back up
I saw writing there on the walls
Watched all the rulers fall
The old king is dead
I had to fight for the finer things
He tried to take from me
Off with his head
Reclaiming my crown
Nothing’s gonna bring me down
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
So damn powerful
Midas touch I’m solid gold
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Bow down, bitch
I’m a king I’m a queen I’m a god of fire yeah
You will worship and you won’t defy me
Wanna touch but I’m out of sight yeah
In my palace you could never find me
I’m a living piece of art, a Mona Lisa and Mozart
Caviar served a la carte, can’t afford this lion heart
To you I’m a fantasy, a vision in your wildest dreams
The closest that you’ll ever be is only when you kiss my
Reclaiming my crown
Come and see the triumph now
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
So damn powerful
Midas touch I’m solid gold
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
Like an underdog
You won’t see me fall
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
Love what I’ve become
My fun has just begun
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss the ring
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss the ring
MWAH!
