The Fallen King (Explicit)

My throne is cracked, the gold is rust

My legacy is turning dust

My strength is gone, my power's fake

For goodness sake, my soul will break

The silver in my hair

Is a flag of my despair

A sign of my defeat

The young ones smell the blood

They bring the coming flood

My retreat is complete

My name is just a word

A story you have heard

Obsolete, obsolete

I look at all the things I built

This empire founded on my guilt

For every brick, a promise broken

For every tower, words unspoken

To the only people who were home

I left them for this golden tomb, alone

My throne is cracked, the gold is rust

My legacy is turning dust

My strength is gone, my power's fake

For goodness sake, my soul will break

My hands begin to shake

A terrible mistake

For a god to admit

My body is a traitor

A sad commentator

That tells me I should quit

My mind is full of holes

Of forgotten goals

I cannot make it fit

So yesterday, I signed the deal, I made the final fiction real

I sold the company for a dime, a final, monumental crime

Just to see the panic in their eyes, just to burn my own disguise

My throne is cracked, the gold is rust

My legacy is turning dust

My strength is gone, my power's fake

For goodness sake, my soul will break

I buy a faster car

To hide my ugly scar

To feel the thrill again

I find a younger girl

To give my life a whirl

To mask the bitter pain

But when the night is through

There's nothing left to do

But face the pouring rain

I built an empire of my own design, and every single brick was mine

But I forgot to build a friend, and so this is the bitter end

I never wanted the reward, I only ever loved the sword, the climb, the war

My throne is cracked. The gold is rust

My legacy? I'll turn to dust

My strength is gone, my power's fake

My own damn soul was mine to break
