Dust King
A lonely throne sitting in an empire of nothing
Layers of filth line these untouched walls
The chorus of silence
An echo of violence
Speaks volumes in measures that ring right through these halls
What's left of this building in front of me
A reflection on me and my own dichotomy
I can't see how these forms are taking place
Void of vision the disposition is in my face
Down the stairs and through the halls
A decadent prison I'm surrounded by walls
Sands run out, no time for self doubt
But what's it matter when you reigning in solitary
Stalking through the spaces
Suspended in stasis
Left to my devices
My humanity erases
Silent vices, made complacent
Fuck my humanity
They wanna keep me faceless
They wanna keep me faceless
A moment in time
Suspended in space
Black eyes in a hollow skull
Skin Stretched on a pale face
So pleased that his war is won
Reflecting on a setting sun
A lonely crown upon the head of a man
Long dead
A front row seat to the demise
You used to have stars in your eyes
To proud to realise
You needed to drop the disguise
I witnessed the bitterness as it took hold
As jealousy set a different resolve
Unable to shake the head state
That laid waste to the faces
Of the many that would have taken his place
A moment in time
Suspended in space
Black eyes in a hollow skull
Skin stretched on a pale face
So pleased that his war is won
Reflecting on a setting sun
A lonely crown sitting on the head
Of a man that's been long dead
Layers of filth line these untouched walls
The chorus of silence
An echo of violence
Speaks volumes in measures that ring right through these halls
What's left of this building in front of me
A reflection on me and my own dichotomy
I can't see how these forms are taking place
Void of vision the disposition is in my face
Down the stairs and through the halls
A decadent prison I'm surrounded by walls
Sands run out, no time for self doubt
But what's it matter when you reigning in solitary
Stalking through the spaces
Suspended in stasis
Left to my devices
My humanity erases
Silent vices, made complacent
Fuck my humanity
They wanna keep me faceless
They wanna keep me faceless
A moment in time
Suspended in space
Black eyes in a hollow skull
Skin Stretched on a pale face
So pleased that his war is won
Reflecting on a setting sun
A lonely crown upon the head of a man
Long dead
A front row seat to the demise
You used to have stars in your eyes
To proud to realise
You needed to drop the disguise
I witnessed the bitterness as it took hold
As jealousy set a different resolve
Unable to shake the head state
That laid waste to the faces
Of the many that would have taken his place
A moment in time
Suspended in space
Black eyes in a hollow skull
Skin stretched on a pale face
So pleased that his war is won
Reflecting on a setting sun
A lonely crown sitting on the head
Of a man that's been long dead
