Lyrics
Illusion Of Leadership
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.
Abusing your power and misusing your words
Betraying the trust of the people who need you the most
Satisfaction comes at a price, but when is it enough?
Heavy lies the crown!
Its not too late to change, but this is who you are
So, when they start to realize
And they all leave your side, will you remember?
Will you ever see the monster you've become?
Oh, how the times have changed
An honest man now wears the crown of shame
You left us here to drown
Tell me, are you happy now?
Look in the mirror
What do you see?
Look in the mirror
What do you see?
A man worth dying for?
Or an illusion of leadership?
So, when they start to realize
And they all leave your side, will you remember?
Will you ever see the monster you've become?
So, when they start to realize
And they all leave your side, will you remember?
Will you ever see the monster you've become?
Get up and step down
This is where it ends for you
We are the innocent ones
And we won't be brought down anymore
Tonight your reign is done
Heavy lies the fucking crown!
Heavy lies your heart of stone
Heart of stone
Buried with your thoughts you'll remain
Buried with your sorrow you'll always remain
