Be welcome in the court of kings

Spread your treasonable wings

Prepare for the worst in the final hour

To quench your thirst for power

On this chessboard, the moves they yearn

Each betrayal like a candle burned

Destiny's hand deferred to silent turn

For in this game, few ever learn

Is this the world you wanted to see?

Is this what you expected it to be?

After all you're nothing but a pawn

Are you played or are you playing?

Already swayed or manipulating?

In this wicked game you play

Are you winning? Are you losing?

Remember, beggars can't be choosing

Beneath the velvet, conspirators arise

Feint whispers weave a web of lies

In halls adorned with gilded grace

Masks of trust disguise their face

Crown and scepter, fragile gifts

Behind the scenes the power shifts

Schemes entwine in dark reprieve

Fooling nobles so naive

Is this the world you wanted to see?

Is this what you expected it to be?

After all you're nothing but a pawn

Are you played or are you playing?

Already swayed or manipulating?

In this wicked game you play

Are you winning? Are you losing?

Remember, beggars can't be choosing

With the last pieces fallen

When your destiny is calling

The board is cleared, you've climbed the tower

And in the final hour, you pay The Price of Power

The Price of Power

Poisonous words, masked as praise

With every plot, the stakes are raised

In silent chambers the tables turn

Let the kingdom thrive or burn

As this game's pawns fell into place

Instead of taking the fall you win the race

When no one's left of those you feared

Your time has come, the crown is near

After all you're nothing but a pawn

Are you played or are you playing?

Already swayed or manipulating?

In this wicked game you play

Are you winning? Are you losing?

Remember, beggars can't be choosing

With the last pieces fallen

When your destiny is calling

The board is cleared, you've climbed the tower

And in the final hour, you pay The Price of Power

The Price of Power

Silver tongues and wicked hearts

Make your puppets play their parts

Feigning honor, veiled in grace

Dignity lost without a trace

In Halls of deceit the shadows reign

So much to lose, even more to gain

Trust and treachery portray

Kings and queens in masquerade

The Price of Power

They all pay The Price of Power

Is this the world you longed to see?

Is this what you wanted it to be?

After all you're nothing but a pawn

Are you played or are you playing?

Already swayed or manipulating?

In this wicked game you play

Are you winning? Are you losing?

Remember, beggars can't be choosing

After all you're nothing but a pawn

Are you played or are you playing?

Already swayed...

After all you're nothing but a pawn

Are you played or are you playing?

Already swayed or manipulating?

In this wicked game you play

Are you winning? Are you losing?

Remember, beggars can't be choosing

After all you're nothing but a pawn

Are you played or are you playing?

Already swayed or manipulating?

In this wicked game you play

Are you winning? Are you losing?

Remember, beggars can't be choosing

With the last pieces fallen

When your destiny is calling

The board is cleared, you've climbed the tower

And in the final hour, you pay The Price of Power

The Price of Power
