Not Gonna Lose My Kingdom - Epic Prelude Version (Cody Rhodes X Skillet) [MASHUP] 

Lyrics: [Skillet] Despair, you come to me... (to me...) With your poison and your misery... Oh, Death, you come to sting... (to sting...) With your poison and your misery... Death! Death! Death! Death! Death surrounds me, singing to me softly! (Death) Death a shadow, spreads his wings around me! Death surrounds me, singing to me softly! (Death) Death a shadow, spreads his wings around me! Death surrounds me, singing to me softly! (Death) In the night, (Death) close your eyes, (comes), I can hear you calling... (I can hear you calling...) This is how it feels when you're bent and broken! This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen! (Singing to me softly...) (Death) In the night, (Death) close your eyes, (comes), I can hear you calling... (I can hear you calling...) I can feel the shadow creeping in my mind! (Death! Death!) Don't close your eyes! [Cody Rhodes] Wrestling has more than one... royal family... [Skillet] Death surrounds; My heartbeat's slowing down... I won't take this world's abuse; I won't give up, I REFUSE! This is how it feels when you're bent and broken! This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen! When everything you love is leaving, You hold on to what you believe in! [Downstait] WHOA! And my father said, "When I was younger, Hard times breed better men!" (BETTER MEN!) [Skillet] And then I heard you FLATLINE! NO! Not gonna die tonight! We're gonna stand and fight forever! (Don't close your eyes!) [Downstait] I built my kingdom! NOW, YOU BOW TO ME! You took my dreams, BUT NOT MY NAME! You'll follow me until the end; I am my kingdom! [Skillet] No, we're not gonna die tonight! [Downstait] I am my kingdom! I am my kingdom! Lights go down, I'm ready now! Tear this roof off for the town! Gonna give 'em what they came to see... [Skillet] The truth has SET ME FREE! [Downstait] Hear the crowd, on its own, Ready for me to start the show! Out the curtain, lights go up, I'm home... WHOA! [Skillet] The last thing I heard was you whispering, "Goodbye..." And then I heard you FLATLINE! [Downstait] (BETTER MEN!) You took it all away, I give it all away; Can't take my freedom! Here to change the game, a banner made of pain; I built my kingdom! [Skillet] (Don't close your eyes!) NO! Not gonna die tonight! We're gonna fight for us together! No, we're not gonna die tonight! [Downstait] I am my kingdom! [ *Skillet* & _Downstait_ ] _Can't take my freedom!_ *Don't you give up on me!* _I built my kingdom!_ *You're everything I need!* _You tried to tell me what to do!_ *This is how it feels when you take your life back!* _(I saw the door and kicked it down!)_ *This is how it feels when YOU! FIGHT! BACK!* _I stepped right over and right through!_ _(And you can never stop me now!)_ _BOW! NOW!_ _(I am the king and you're the crown!)_ _Now watch me as I take my throne,_ _And rule my kingdom!_ *NO! Not gonna die tonight!* _Can't take my freedom!_ *We're gonna stand and fight forever!* _I built my kingdom!_ *(Don't close your eyes!)* _NOW, YOU BOW TO ME!_ *NO! Not gonna die tonight!* _You took my dreams, BUT NOT MY NAME!_ *We're gonna fight for us together!* _You'll follow me until the end;_ _I am my kingdom!_ *No, we're not gonna die tonight!* _I am my kingdom!_ *No, we're not gonna die tonight!* _I am my kingdom!_ *Not gonna die!* _I am my kingdom!_ *(Not gonna die!)* *Not gonna die!* _I am my kingdom!_ *(Not gonna die!)* *NOT GONNA DIE TONIGHT!* _NOW, YOU BOW TO ME!_

Perfect for pre match hype package for Cody and Roman at Wrestlemania 40. They can recap the whole story from start to finish for both guys in an epic video package with this.

This version would be PERFECT for tonight's WM night 2 video package for Cody

This deserves SOOO much more love than it’s gotten. Genuinely the greatest mashup I’ve ever heard. Sounds like a Mania style entrance with a promo going on during the first part

The song literally fits the story of Cody Rhodes, and we hope Cody get to the song before WrestleMania.

I officially declare myself a fan of this fusion. Very good work. 👏

Usuaully some of these mash ups tend to be a bit off. But this one was pretty good with how you melded it.

WWE Needs to do this, as a big Mania Entrance for Cody! 🤘🏼🔥 #TheAmericanNightmare #Rhodes

@3:12 WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAA

"The nightmare era, has begun!"

Cody needs to use this against Brock at Summer Slam or Roman at Mainia

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice job I like this music keep up the good work

HERE IS YOUR WINNER... AND THE NEW... UNDISPUTED WWE CHAMPION... THE AMERICAN NIGHTMARE... CODY... RHOOOOOOOOOOOOODES!!!!!!!!!!

Very amazing!!!🤩

Heel theme??

wow

You have no right making something so awesome that it can bring tears to mankind.

Awesome combination

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏

This...this is...just pure🔥🔥😭

For some reason this should be used at next years Wrestlemania for either heel turn or a battle music we all can cheer on. that would be so epic !!

This is the one imo I seriously pray in the future, Cody will see this and use this mix for his next theme

I love it! Cheers from austria

Holy s!it
