[Verse] Once a king in spotlight hollow halls Promised change but seasons fell like walls Crowds would cheer his name in roaring tides Now they jeer at broken hopes and lies [Verse 2] Castles crumble paper-thin dreams Puppets dance on strings unravel seams He screams at mirrors shattered by the truth A kingdom built on whispers from his youth [Chorus] Fallen empire lost in the night Power faded out like candlelight Once a beacon now a shadow's plight Fallen empire lost in the night [Verse 3] Victory speeches haunt him in his sleep Echoes of a glory he can't keep Statues topple faces cracked and worn His legacy in dust and scorn [Bridge] He marches through the ruins of his pride Alone amidst the silent cries Skeletons of promises gone cold A throne of rust and stories old [Verse 4] Vows he took now shattered glass His reign a ghost of future past Citizens with eyes of burning rage Write his tale on history's page
