The King of Yesterday
[Verse 1]

Behold my crown of thunder.
Em
Behold my severed tongue,

beneath this throne of wonder, whispers of futures yet to come.

We were staring at the sun, the whole world at our feet.

We danced atop the water. Now I sway wade in defeat.

Silent is the kingdom, lonely jester left to stay.

To walk amongst the ruins, of dreams I let decay.

I speak, but no one answers. My throne just fades to grey.

to rule again one day? He can't say.
