Glass King

Black suit in a spotlight glow

Cold eyes like you run the show

Gold tongue, pretty alibi

But the cracks show when the pressure’s high

Sweet talk, velvet disguise

But I read every lie in your eyes

You play loud, you play proud

But your throne don’t stand in a crowd

No crown lasts built on fear

I’ve been watching from the rear

You thought silence meant defeat

Nah — it meant I let you speak

You thought I’d break

You thought I’d bend

I was sharpening the end

You built your throne on borrowed ground

Now hear the sound…

Say my name — say it loud

When the lights come crashing down

You play king in a paper crown

But glass kings always shatter out

One step closer — hear the sound

Every lie comes falling down

You wanted war — you wanted fame

Now the whole world knows your name

Glass king — fall down

Glass king — hit the ground

You built it up

Now watch it drown

You talk tough when the room goes quiet

But pressure hits and you start a riot

Spin the truth like a carousel

But every lie leaves a deeper tell

Borrowed power, plastic throne

I built mine from blood and bone

You chase noise, chasing praise

I move calm through the haze

You think fear makes men obey

But fear just fades away

And when the lights expose the game

Everyone forgets your name

No mercy

No disguise

Every empire built on lies

Dies.

Say my name — say it loud

When the lights come crashing down

You play king in a paper crown

But glass kings always shatter out

One step closer — hear the sound

Every lie comes falling down

You wanted war — you wanted fame

Now the whole world knows your name

Look me in the eyes

Tell me what you see

All your power

All your glory

Built on shadows

Built on fear

And now the fall

Is finally here

Say my name — say it loud

When the lights come crashing down

You played king in a paper crown

But glass kings always shatter out

One step closer — hear the sound

Every lie comes falling down

You wanted war — you wanted fame

Now the whole world knows your name

Glass king…

Fall down.
