[Intro]
Sleep now, fragile
Cradle my hope
Dream 'til morning

[Verse 1]
Rising again
To uphold my claims to power
Promises bind this place to me
Peace I have found in a vision, pure and simple
Here in this world I am the king

[Verse 2]
Dreams trouble my conscience
With thoughts of those betrayed
And prophecies certain bring me to conflict often
But comfort has always triumphed against a change

[Verse 3]
Walking again among these familiar faces
Hearing the same praises they speak
All here is well but somehow so unnerving
In the eyes of a child, the world looks bleak

[Verse 4]
Fears grow ever bolder
Threatening disgrace
All that will be grows clearer with every moment
And whispers turn now to shouting for my escape
Awake
[Verse 5]
Brashly you stifled warnings
See now the fruits of failure
Ignorant liar
Did you truly think you could stay here awhile
And avoid your fate?

[Verse 6]
Crawling, grasping, searching, reaching for a path
Through all this chaos
Choking on the ashes of a life that suddenly has passed
And as the screams subside
I slowly raise my head
To watch the final ruin
And see my kingdom's end

[Outro]
Hear me now
I'm mournin' the last of love
There's no consequence to the way
I'm floatin' under the bridge
