King for a Day lyrics

Welcome to the nightmare

Where villains wear the crowns

Fools rule a broken world

And fear grows all around

There's a bad king

A dreadful puppet on a string

He pretends to be a champion

Of the common man

Wants more division

In his lost and riven land

He plays with real lives

In the darkest game of life

His greedy eyes

Look insane, frozen smile like he's in pain

He doesn't count

The human cost but only money made or lost

King for a day

He kills the truth and looks away

King for a day

Lives like the world would end today

King for a day

What do you hide, why do you lie?

Who made the rules for this game?

Who is paying your champagne?

All the mercy in the world

Cannot save you anymore

King for a day

He knows how to justify

And how to feed the myths

How to glorify

The lies and hide the truth

He talks a lot but

His mouth is full of empty words

He has the right friends

Making shady inside deals

Before the story ends

We will be out of tears

Fools give the answers

Wise men don't even try

The time has come

To dethrone him but there's a new clone stepping in

Just more scum

Another greedy, rotten puppet on a string

King for a day

He kills the truth and looks away

King for a day

Lives like the world would end today

King for a day

What do you hide, why do you lie?

Who made the rules for this game?

Who is paying your champagne?

All the mercy in the world

Cannot save you anymore

King for a day

"I own the seas

I have the Earth on its knees

Give me another day

And I'll take your future away

Just vote for me again"

King for a day

He kills the truth and looks away

King for a day

Lives like the world would end today

King for a day

What do you hide, why do you lie?

Who made the rules for this game?

Who is paying your champagne?

All the mercy in the world

Cannot save you anymore

King for a day
