[Chorus] I’m the king without a throne — but I walk like one [clap clap] No crown on my head, but the war’s not done [clap - clap - clap] They took my name, but I kept my tone [whistle] I’m the king without a throne — but I walk like one (I walk like one...) [Verse 1] They burned my kingdom, left me in dust, I rose from the ruins with fire and trust. I’ve been the weapon, I’ve been the flame, But never the puppet, never the shame. Took off the suit, gave back the badge, What I became — they couldn’t badge. I walk through shadows, no guards, no crown — But my eyes still see through every town. [Chorus] I’m the king without a throne — but I walk like one [clap clap] No crown on my head, but the war’s not done [clap - clap - clap] They took my name, but I kept my tone [whistle] I’m the king without a throne — but I walk like one (I walk like one...) [Verse 2] I’ve slept in silence, I’ve tasted pain, Lost my body — but broke no chain. I traded gold for breath and soul, My back is broken, but I’m still whole. Don’t need their stage, their fake applause, My voice still roars — because it was. I’m made of iron, rust and light, And I don’t kneel, even at night. [Bridge] [soft clap rhythm starts] You can’t unmake what fire made real You can’t fake steps that leave a steel heel I don’t need a crown, I don’t need a sign I carry my scars like they’re carved in time [whistle, slow fade] King… without… a throne… [Final Chorus] I’m the king without a throne — but I walk like one [clap clap] No crown on my head, but the war’s not done [clap - clap - clap] They took my name, but I kept my tone [whistle - whistle] I’m the king without a throne — but I walk like one (I walk like one... I walk like one...)
