In a realm of golden crowns, a king ruled with might
His halls echoed with glory, his future ever bright
But fate is a fickle master, and time can overturn
The king who sat so proudly, had a different lesson to learn

From the throne to the streets, from the gold to the grime
A king of vast riches, now begging for time
The crown lost its luster, the scepter fell low
A monarch no more, just a man with no throne

Decisions made in haste, wars fought without cause
Alliances broken, subjects lost to his flaws
The palace now distant, a memory of the past
The king walks in tatters, his empire didn't last

From the throne to the streets, from the gold to the grime
A king of vast riches, now begging for time
The crown lost its luster, the scepter fell low
A monarch no more, just a man with no throne
From the throne to the streets, from the gold to the grime
A king of vast riches, now begging for time
The crown lost its luster, the scepter fell low
A monarch no more, just a man with no throne

Once a ruler of lands, now he's ruled by the street
Every face that passes, no eyes dare to meet
In the silence of night, he whispers a plea
For the man he once was, and the king he used to be

Once a ruler of lands, now he's ruled by the street
Every face that passes, no eyes dare to meet
In the silence of night, he whispers a plea
For the man he once was, and the king he used to be

From the throne to the streets, from the gold to the grime
A king of vast riches, now begging for time
The crown lost its luster
