Verse 1

Veil of misguided trust, a blindfold of greed, has now made me, greater than you

A sovereign, and my own being, ruling myself

I alienate, the cause that binds, a creed of words, defines not my worth

Livestock for gods, standing in line, singing of grace

That I now defy

Pre-chorus 1

Lies I decree, no longer aligned, with what I have deemed worthwhile

Rather than gag, on blissful views, I’m forcing my dogma through

Verse 2

When I am awake, you kiss my feet, but when I sleep, you sharpen the knife

Poison my food, with anything you find, and pray for my death

Trust my currency, with which I have bought, all that I have, spelling my demise

Foreshadowing, what I’ve always known, you hide behind lies

Thus your master plan fails

Pre-chorus 2

All shall fall, behind my back, I step away from death

I’ll leave behind, this crown of mine, cascading my own rule

Chorus

Once a proud king forsaking his crown, walking away from the pyres

The gallows stand barren this dreadful day, no head shall ornate the crumbling walls
