Lyrics
Lonely King
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The role of the king is a lonely one to play
But cards in the ring have been dealt in the wrong way
The role of the king is a lonely one to play
No matter the lives of the people before me
All that I seek is the path to glory, glory
Chips in my pocket and blood stains on my hands
I'm building my legacy right here in the sand
I’ll stay until the end and watch it go down in flames
Yeah, maybe the path is gory
Whatever it takes to get my glory, glory
I was told I had to walk away
Leave my enemies to rot in their own grave
But scars don't heal, I've given blood a taste
I'll fake the smile they've seen before
They'll see I am so much more
So
The rule of the land, it's so crucial to obey
Believe in yourself, or you won't be appreciated
Don't you overthink it, just do what I say
Lay the politics out before me
Whatever it takes to get my glory
You need all the power and the fame
'Cause that's the game
You've been kicked into the sand
I've built something better than
What you could ever dream of on your own
The role of the king is a lonely one to play
But cards in the ring have been dealt in the wrong way
The role of the king is a lonely one to play
No matter the lives of the people before me
All that I seek is the path to glory
My legacy
My glory, ah
