Fallen King

In a palace of gold
The king sat high (oo-yeah!)
But the throne got cold
With no alibi (uh-huh, uh-huh)
Blinded by power
With a heavy sigh (mmm!)
The silence came
Like a dark lullaby

Fast cars
Big dreams
In the royal beams (woo!)
Lost it all
Fell apart at the seams (uh-huh)
Glances turned away
No one’s on his team (oh no!)
The quiet’s loud
Ain’t what it seems (oo-yeah!)

Nobody cry when the king did fall (nuh-uh, nuh-uh)
Deafening silence
Echo in the hall (mmm, hmm)
Once he ruled
Now he’s small (woah-oh)
In the shadows
He begins to crawl (oo-yeah!)

Whispers in the wind
Ain’t no friend (shh!)
Echoes of a reign
Now at its end (oo-yeah, oo-yeah!)
Crowns and jewels
Can’t pretend (nuh-uh)
When you fall
Nobody will defend (mmm!)

Lost the crown
But found no ground (uh-huh)
In the deepest silence
He’s always bound (woah-oh)
The kingdom’s hush is the only sound (yeah!)
He fell from the top
Now he’s earthbound (mmm!)

Nobody cry when the king did fall (uh-huh, uh-huh)
Deafening silence
Echo in the hall (oo-yeah!)
Once he roared
Now he’s small (ha-ha)
In the shadows
See him crawl (woah-oh, woah-oh!)
