[Verse] Broken clocks ticking, kingdom in the sand Paper crowns on heads, truth slipping from their hands Marble halls echo, hollow like a shell They selling dreams cheap, heaven turned to hell Gold chains rusting, promises dissolve Shadows hold the throne, no problems get resolved I’m screaming at the mirror, fire in my chest They pray for silence, I can't let it rest [Chorus] Truth in a kingdom of lies, can’t disguise A spark that survives, watch it rise Truth in a kingdom of lies, no surprise It’s the flame they despise, open your eyes [Verse 2] Masked faces dance, whispers in the breeze They plant poisoned seeds, calling it the trees I’m stomping through the ashes, footprints of the brave This land built on graves, still we misbehave Scrolls in my pocket, ink that never fades Writing down the scars, every debt unpaid A carnival of chaos, a circus in the court The jesters hold the scepter, the kingdom’s last resort [Bridge] Echoes of the ancients, voices in the rain Every note a memory, every chord a pain Strings of the guitar, pulling on my soul Truth a heavy crown, but I’ll never let it go
