lyrics

Born to be king
The greatest of all
Standing higher than a lion

Protected by your elder
You feel so unaffected
By what goes down around

Keep on marching
Wander into nothing
Satisfaction out of fake attention

And all the poachers
Are getting closer
While you stare at your reflection in a pond of dirty water

You’ve got two ears
To hear everything
But you only listen
to what you want

You’ll walk so long
Die old as you’re young
And end up stepping
on yourself

Cover your eyes
Neglect every sign
Blinded by your dogma
fictitious god

You would give up
All that you’ve got
Enslaved by lust

Sacrifice
Are you insane?
Grazed by time
It’s all in vain
So, sacrifice

You are insane
Compromise
You’ve been deceived

Storm of sand
As you’re clinging for the end
Drown in delusion and regret

You’ve been caught up
Dissolved into dust

You’ve got two ears
To hear everything
But you only listen
to what you want

You’ll walk so long
Die old as you’re young
And end up stepping
on yourself

Cover your eyes
Neglect every sign
Blinded by your dogma
fictitious god

You gave it all up
Scared like a rat
Coward
Replica

Sacrifice
Are you insane?
Grazed by time
It’s all in vain
So, sacrifice
You are insane
Compromise
You’ve been deceived

Oh no

You’ve been deceived

Roam the earth
Not last nor first
Extinguish all your fire
Cross the desert
And die of thirst
To bow before
The ivory tower
