You managed to destroy all that you love

Now you’re alone with nothing above

You wanted the fame, you tasted the power

Now you’re nothing, living in squalor

You’d have done well to listen to reason

You were tempted by power and fame

Now you better turn your heart toward something higher

Or your soul will face the flame

The weight of every choice sits heavy on your chest

The mirror shows a stranger, broken and confessed

He’s the only one left who can save your soul

Without Him you know where you’ll go

He’s more forgiving than those you betrayed

He will hold you when they want you flayed

You’re out of options, better think twice

Take a look at all you lost and the sacrifice

Chasing your demons, you found every one

Now you’re left out, away from the sun

The throne turned to ashes beneath your feet

The crown melted down in the heat

You better pray to God for your salvation

You’ll never be more than a disappointment to the nation

But maybe that’s the point, maybe that’s the key

To fall so far that all you see Is the ground beneath, the sky above

And the only hand reaching down is love

Let the kingdom burn!

Let the empire fall!

Let the prophet’s lies dissolve to nothing at all!

Surrender the crown, lay down the sword

There’s mercy waiting if you turn toward the Lord

He’s the only one left who can save your soul

With Him you’ll finally know where you’ll go

He’s more forgiving than all you betrayed

Let Him lift you up from where you’ve laid

You’re out of options but that’s where grace begins

When you’re broken down and confessing all your sins

From the ashes, something new can grow

From the darkness, light begins to show

The king is dead, but the man can live

If he learns to ask and learns to give
