When I was young
I thought you ruled a world of images and songs
That was before I got to know you better
Now I've seen
that your relentless source of power has come clean
In the kingdom you created in a dream
There is absolutely nothing left to say he hasn't said
The king is dead
He lies defeated in a pole of his own words
And if he inexplicably proceeds to read his lines
Well, I don't mind
I know he wouldn't read between them
There was a time
When your convincing stream of nonsense made me blind
I really believed that sense was hiding somewhere
But nowadays
I couldn't wake you from your self-infected haze
Not if your holy grail exploded in your face
There is absolutely nothing left to say he hasn't said
The king is dead
He lies defeated in a pole of his own words
And if he inexplicably proceeds to read his lines
Well, I don't mind
I know he wouldn't read between them
An empty throne
And no one innocent enough to throw the stone
But we all know wo'll be lying left alone
There is absolutely nothing left to say he hasn't said
The king is dead
He lies defeated in a pole of his own words
And if he inexplicably proceeds to read his lines
Well, I don't mind
I know he wouldn't read between them
