Ah~ah~

Step into the light

Born in the blaze of a thousand lights

A name on fire in velvet nights

Every cheer like a rising flame

Carving glory into my name

I held the world in a trembling hand

Every dream bent to my command

From the silence into the sound

I built my throne on sacred ground

But in the glow of their desire

I feel a flicker in the fire

Am I a king or just a vision

A fading line, a superstition

Hear them call, but through it all

I barely hear myself at all

Oh, I rise so high, I lose my sight

A lonely star in endless night

If I fall, will I be found

Or just a voice without a sound

Golden halls begin to crack

Every step pulls further back

Smiling faces turn to glass

Shattered truths I can’t surpass

Every word I used to own

Now returns but not my own

Echoes dressed in my disguise

Looking through a thousand eyes

There’s a stranger in the crown

And I can’t take it down

Am I a king or just a vision

A fractured role in my own fiction

Hear them shout, I play it out

But live in shadows of their doubt

Oh, I climb so high, I disappear

Applause is all that I can hear

If I scream, will it resound

Or fade before it hits the ground

Tear it down

The gilded walls

Break the mirror

End it all

Voices rising

pulling me under

Crown of gold or

crown of thunder

I am more than what they see

Or am I just their fantasy

Ah~ ah~ ah~

I was a king, a grand illusion

A perfect lie in full confusion

All the cheers, the endless sound

Never once could hold me down

Now I stand without the crown

No more need to wear the sound

If I fall, I finally know

I was never meant to own the throne

Ah~

Let the silence take the stage
