There's something in the air tonight

it's somehow different

It doesn't call you or delight

it's rather terrible.

There's someone coming after us

you don't know who he is.

You hear opressive quietness -

he's just a step away!

No one's there to rescue you,

you're standing all alone.

There's no one there but him and you,

you will defend your throne.

You're the king of all the world,

you never will resign:

you never want your weakness heard,

you wouldn't stand this shame.

The people of your kingdom cry

they heard unpleasant news

The defender of their freedom died

he had nothing else to choose.

Your towns and castles are destroyed

your forests burnt to dust.

You really couldn't be heroic

cause you were old and rust.

No one's there to rescue you,

you're standing all alone.

There's no one there but him and you,

you will defend your throne.

You're the king of all the world,

you never will resign:

you never want your weakness heard,

you wouldn't stand this shame.
