I am the king of honor, gold and glory
But every king must also die
Have I been just and righteous, what is glory?
I know I've torn and taken life
And here I stand a small and simple manWho will trade his karma for my kingdom?
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
'Cause all you do in life comes back to youI am a king in crisis counting minutes
There is an ending to my reign
My sins have come to face me, I can feel it
That I have lived my life in vain
And now I know I'll reap the seeds I've sownWho will trade his karma for my kingdom?
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
'Cause all you do in life comes back to youAm I mad? I feel so void and cold
Who can tell, who holds the stories untold?
Tired, trembling, I am descending
Will I have to stay here and live this life againWho will trade his karma for my kingdom?
A sacrificial rite to render truth
The fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
'Cause all you do in life comes back to you
