[Verse] Once upon a time in a tailored suit Spoke in riddles Pressed and mute Shook hands with ghosts and fine champagne Took the fast track down the memory lane [Verse 2] Secrets buried in the London fog Every truth a twisted monologue Red tape dance and a silent scream Living on edges of a shattered dream [Chorus] Diplomatic exit No farewell parade Trading power for peace in a slow cascade Left the keys at the parliament door Mystery man Now a whisper of lore [Verse 3] Heard rumors chase like a restless hound Debates and shadows in a world renowned Lost his name in the politics game Only echoes left to carry his fame [Bridge] Underneath the chandelier's glow Promises whispered soft and low Vanished into the midnight haze A legend born in bygone days [Chorus] Diplomatic exit No farewell parade Trading power for peace in a slow cascade Left the keys at the parliament door Mystery man Now a whisper of lore
