i was king
i was the king, in a castle high above
ruled over them all, from the land far and wide
saw my own image, on a coin i turned to me
nobles, soldiers, peasants, all in awe
i was the king, i was the legend they believed
they would follow me, to the ends of the land
and i would lead them, to a golden age again
but i was just a dreamer, lost in my own world
i was king, but i was only a dream
i was king, but they had another plan
and they made me a prisoner of my own reality
my dream had crumbled, it had all come to an end
now they crown me king again in their new world order
of fake ideals and the future they envision
my sword now broken and my realm all scattered
in their world, i'm nothing more than a memory
i was king, but now i'm just a memory
i was king, but they have taken my throne
and now i wander in this new world they have created
lost and alone, in a world that i no longer control
i was king, but now i'm just a dream
i was king, but now i'm just a dream come true
a dream that's now shattered into a million pieces
and all that's left is just a memory of what once was mine.
