    Close the door and pull the shade
    Take a look at what remains
    Of the man that once stood at the top of his own kingdom.

    Pass the halls and mop the floors
    And see what all this was once before
    And its no secret that the king will soon be fallen.

    Say no words as you see his eyes
    Covered in fear and trying to disguise
    The last words out of his mouth for heroism.

    He stands alone with his crown of thorns
    And bows to the crowd with threats and scorns
    Though he held true to his people.

    And when he dies there will a tear stained line
    On the face of god in his robe of swine
    While the kingdom moves on to its next victim.
