[Verse] A king with a crown golden bright Wants to lead in the soft moonlight His aura warm a guiding light But shadows fall as dreams take flight [Verse 2] He turns around no voices heard Echoes fade no spoken word An empty throne beside the herd Seeking glory now seems absurd [Chorus] Where did all the people go Empty halls with no echoes Lonely steps in a silent show A kingdom lost that won't bestow [Bridge] Majesty without the crowd Empty heart he feels so proud Lonesome king a heavy shroud In the quiet thoughts too loud [Verse 3] Once loved now he feels the sting A lonely song that he might sing In empty halls it starts to ring The silent plight of a forgotten king [Chorus] Where did all the people go Empty halls with no echoes Lonely steps in a silent show A kingdom lost that won't bestow
