All these wars and all this fighting

What does it accomplish?

Just hurt and deceit

Brother turned on brother, children lost in defeat

We’ve come so far only to be back where we started

Evolution in reverse, sitting on your throne of ashes

 

You fight for ideology, not for honor

You strike just to prove you still matter

Building empires on the backs of those you promised to protect

Crowns get heavier when you count the cost

 

The scepter’s just a weapon in disguise

Your throne’s built on a foundation of lies

 

Everyone wants to be King

But no one wants accountability

Wearing the crown when it shines

But hiding when the kingdom bleeds

You’d sacrifice your children to appease your own failures

Offer them up while their futures unravel

You refuse to bear the weight when it all comes crashing down

There’s blood upon your golden crown

 

You traded your soul for power you don’t deserve

Made choices that echo through generations

Pointed fingers while the palace burns

Drawing lines in sand with no salvation

 

The scepter’s just a weapon you can’t put down

The throne becomes a prison, not a crown

 

Everyone wants to be King

But no one wants accountability

Wearing the crown when it shines

But hiding when the kingdom bleeds

You’d sacrifice your children to appease your own failures

Offer them up while their futures unravel

You refuse to bear the weight when it all comes crashing down

There’s blood upon your golden crown

 

The empire crumbles, stone by stone

When rulers hide behind the throne

The kingdom starves, the kingdom weeps

While cowards wear the crown they keep

 

Everyone wants to be King

But no one wants accountability

Ruling from shadows, dodging blame

While innocents pay the price for your shame

You’d sacrifice your children on the altar of your pride

Destroy their lives while you stand aside

The crown you fought for weighs like lead

When forged from all the tears you shed

There’s blood upon that stolen crown

 

Evolution in reverse…

We’ve come so far only to be back where we started…

Sitting on a throne of ashes
