You think I'm a cruel sovereign who rules with iron claws
All my subjects must bow before me, and do whatever
Thing I'll say. Even more, you said everyone was merely
An obedient puppet, a pawn, to play in my dirty game

[Long live the tyrant, victim of insanity
Go back to your sleep forevermore
Soon you'll be crownless
Dethroned for justice]

You said I'm at the top of food chain, living in poverty
Yet I'm the ultimate servant of my people, night and day
The eyes of the homeless newborn, lament of the old one
Scattered flocks, shattered peace, gray past--it haunts me

[How did you end up in hell?
Your hellstorm--it's never gone
Open your eyes and see these kids
Old and young, suffering from your reign]

You accused me for unorthodox rules and false hope
Yet you don't know and don't ever want to know about
The weight on my shoulders. Yet I'm trying as best as I can
To fit all of them in my sight and be a loving father for them

[Blinded stare, he's a killer, a murderer
Apart from the wandering royal guard
Come to us, and we'll show you the judgement
It only takes one chance, tonight you'll be sacrified]

Have you ever heard the children's cry in the night's peak?
And found yourself awoke, filled with sorrow and guilt?
Not a single lavender beside me, not a single night fantasy
Ever comes to me. Only the deep silent complete who dwells
