CROWN OF DESIRE

[Intro] The night is falling over the city Shadows grow beneath the neon light Every soul is chasing something No one asks if it is right [Verse 1] A man stands high above the crowd Looking down from his tower of gold Every promise that he once believed Was traded away and sold His hands are full of treasures Yet his eyes remain empty and cold The more he gains from the world The less he seems to hold [Verse 2] Another throne is built from lies Another kingdom starts to fall The hunger never disappears No matter how much they own it all Power whispers in their ears Like a serpent in the dark Leading them through endless nights Leaving scars upon their hearts [Bridge] How much is enough For a restless soul How far can you run When desire takes control [Verse 3] They conquer oceans They conquer skies Still they search for something more Blind to the truth before their eyes The crown grows heavier every day The chains grow stronger too The prison they created Is the one they never knew [Guitar Solo] Melodic traditional heavy metal lead Twin guitar harmonies Emotional sustained notes Classic arena-metal feeling [Verse 4] When the final curtain falls And silence fills the air No gold remains beside them No kingdom follows there Only memories of choices Only echoes of their name And the question left unanswered Was it fortune or a game [Outro] The crown of desire Still shines tonight But every king who wears it Must face the fading light
