[Verse]
Lion of pride, mane tangled in deceit
Teeth sharp, but your bite? A paper-thin beat
Chest puffed, walk tall, but your knees weak
Roar echoes empty, like a promise you can’t keep
[Chorus]
Pride before the fall, you’re just a hollow king
Crown rusted, gold’s gone, left with nothing but a sting
Quick with your words, but they crumble in the wind
Pride before the fall, let the reckoning begin
[Verse 2]
False courage, a mask stitched with fear
Glass jaw, shatters every time they get near
Your shadow runs faster than you ever could
You’re a lion on stilts in a wolf’s neighborhood
[Bridge]
Quicksand throne, sinking slow
Built on lies, now the cracks show
Mirror’s a battlefield, reflection’s your foe
King of nothing, time to let go
[Chorus]
Pride before the fall, you’re just a hollow king
Crown rusted, gold’s gone, left with nothing but a sting
Quick with your words, but they crumble in the wind
Pride before the fall, let the reckoning begin
[Outro]
Fallin', fallin', no wings to save you now
Echoes in the canyon, can’t outrun the sound
Lion of pride, your time’s run out
Pride before the fall, you wear it like a shroud
