In the deepest void there lay a city wrapped in gold Where the strong were selling worlds, the weak were to be sold Precious metals glinted like a beacon in the night And kept the crumbling bricks below hidden out of sight In the city's gleam there loomed a warship drawing near Illuminating solemn verses carved upon its side A lust for retribution blinded all who sailed within Craving blood and victory and vengeance long denied All eaten up by ego and by greed Fought fire with fire with hunger hard to sate Not even as a king will you be free You've risen to become the thing you hate All eaten up by ego and by greed Fought fire with fire till all in ashes lies Not even as a king will you be free You've risen to become what you despise The ramparts and the gilded gates took little time to fall Thin tinsel could not hold together crumbling, rotting walls The streets were flooded with the blood - rejoice and sing The King was dead. Long live the King
