The King Surveys

Newbie01960

Powerful chorus, male lead, slap bass, 80bpm, Viking ballad

Ayy.
This King's stance, dunkins cup, steam in the void
He surveils the ant farm, each speck of life employed
In a frantic ballet, a clockwork, petty noise
Deaf to the second hand's final, metallic poise
They think "It's a phase, the storm will eventually break"
His atmosphere's permanent, his world about to shake,
Peaks at the world, but the chill starts to ache
A throne of granite solitude, a solitary lake
The warmth down below? It's a fire he's banned from
A guest list that froze out his very first hand from
So he ponders the point of this goddamn grandstand from
A front-row seat to a play he banned from.
He SEES ALL. Knows you rollin' the dice
But He OWNS the casino, He rents you the vice
Love like a fountain, cascades from the ice
But it shatters on sidewalks that don't think twice
So what's the MEANING? This altitude, bleedin'?
A life uninvolved, is it life? Or just breathin'?
Unseen, uninvited, the truth in His reason
Outside the matrix, watchin' the whole damn disease in.
ABOVE THE INFLUENCE. He maps the contagion
Sees the bubble from space, the collective enslavement
Knows clean air is better than beggin' for engagement
Wants to reach down and sever the ropes from the ragment
But His hands are tied by the choice that He gifted
Eyes wide open, see the ship as it drifted
A limitless well, but the bucket's been lifted
Unwanted, unknown, the connection's been sifted.
They want a mascot, not a mirror that's vicious
A comfortable lie, not a painful cognition
So He nurses the coffee, this cold-world's physician
With a remedy none of the patients will listen to.
The sting of the air… is a familiar embrace now.
The silence, his kingdom. The distance, his safehouse.
To watch is to suffer. To know is to ache.
To be everything wanted… is to be the mistake.
He SEES ALL. Knows you rollin' the dice
But He OWNS the casino, He rents you the vice
Love like a fountain, cascades from his ice
But it shatters on sidewalks that don't think twice
So what's the MEANING? This altitude, bleedin'?
A life uninvolved, is it life? Or just breathin'?
Unseen, uninvited, the truth in His reason
Outside the matrix, watchin' the whole damn disease spin.
So He'll stay… unknown.
That's okay.
Unwanted.
That's okay.
Above all…
That's the price of the view.
Sipping the black.
Watching you.
In the blink… of an eye…
It can all change.
He sips.
And remains.
The King surveys. 
The King surveys.
