I am a king of honor

gold and glory

but every king must also die

have I been just and righteous

what is glory

I know I've torn and taken life

and here I stand

a small and simple man



who will trade his karma for my kingdom

a sacrificial rite to render truth

the fire in my soul rejects my wisdom

cause all you do in life comes back to you



I am a king in crisis

counting minutes

there is an ending to my reign

my sins have come to face me

I can feel it

that I have lived my life in vain

and now I know I'll reap

the seeds I've sown



who will trade his karma for my kingdom

a sacrificial rite to render truth

the fire in my soul rejects my wisdom

cause all you do in life comes back to you



am I mad

I feel so void and cold

who can tell

who holds the stories untold

tired and trembling

I am descending

will I have to stay here

and live this life again
