King of Nothing Lyrics


A crown of dust, a throne of lies

The hollow man beneath the skies

Crawling at shadows, gasping for breath

A life of waiting, a dance with death

King of nothing, ruler of despair

Reigning in silence, waiting the death of the reign

Jenny would dance with her ghosts at night

Spinning in circles beneath pale light

Her laughter echoes, sharp as a blade

The king of nothing watches her fade

Dust to dust, ashes to air

The throne is empty, and no one’s there

Jenny’s gone, the ghosts remain

The king of nothing ends his reign

King of nothing!

King of nothing!
