Lyrics

For so many years, I stood at the top Of this kingdom where life never stops Reaching beyond like the magistrate's hand Holding forces whom I did command We crossed over mountains and conquered the lands Crushing men just like ants in the sand We broke down the borders that kept us apart Striking fear in our enemies heart Now head the warning I bring The last words of a forgotten king Who witnessed the end of the throne Now there's no time to cast the next stone If you get your kicks from control Of the people you bought and you sold Can you sleep without closing one eye If you wake you'll be drowned in your lies As the war rages on, from dusk until dawn They can see that our forces are strong They gather the children and walk in the night Through the forest to stay out of sight As we grow closer and time rushes by Night makes way for the sun in the sky Casting a light on the path in the night Now the enemy will soon be in sight Now head the warning I bring Last words of the forgotten king Who witnessed the end of the throne There's no time to cast the next stone You get your kicks from control Of the people you've bought and you sold Can you sleep without closing one eye If you wake you'll be drowned in your lies I cannot go back and now it's too late I am chained to this fate The sirens call out at the castle gates For the head of the state I lock up the doors and turn out the light At the end of the night They break down the door and join in the fight When the moment is right The moment is right Join in the fight At the end of the night These are the last words of a forgotten king
