Kingdom of Dust
(Verse 1)
I once wore a crown, you stood by my side,
A kingdom of glory, where love couldn’t hide.
But now the throne’s empty, the banners hang torn,
The magic we built is weathered and worn.
(Pre-Chorus)
The whispers of heartbreak echo through the halls,
A kingdom of dust where our empire falls.
(Chorus)
Our kingdom is crumbling, the walls are stone cold,
The dreams we once cherished have all been sold.
I’m a king without purpose, a soul cast away,
Left to wander the ruins where shadows stay.
(Verse 2)
You called me your king, but now I’m your fool,
Trapped in the echoes of love’s cruel duel.
The fire is gone, just ashes remain,
A shattered illusion, a heart full of pain.
(Pre-Chorus)
The crown feels so heavy, the silence is loud,
The weight of regret pulls me into the crowd.
(Chorus)
Our kingdom is crumbling, the walls are stone cold,
The dreams we once cherished have all been sold.
I’m a king without purpose, a soul cast away,
Left to wander the ruins where shadows stay.
(Verse 3)
I roam through the wreckage, but hope starts to rise,
A glimmer of strength beneath darkened skies.
The pieces are broken, but not all is lost,
I’ll build a new kingdom, no matter the cost.
(Pre-Chorus)
The whispers of courage are calling me near,
Through the rubble of heartache, my path becomes clear.
(Chorus)
Our kingdom may crumble, but I’m standing tall,
From the dust of despair, I’ll rise through it all.
No longer a jester, I’m claiming my name,
A king forged in fire, reborn through the flame.
(Bridge)
The storm won’t define me; the crown is my own,
A kingdom of strength where I’ll stand alone.
Brick by brick, I’ll rebuild it all,
A king unbroken, I will never fall.
(Outro)
Every day is a chance to begin once more,
To walk through the ruins and open new doors.
The crown on my head is no longer for show,
I’m a king of my own with a soul that glows.
