But they are vile and smarmy,
I know they will let me down.
[Pre-chorus]
My castle is crumbling down.
The clang of chains is loud.
'Cause I won the cursed renown.
[Chorus]
Do you hear me being called great?
I can't hear it anymore, it's too late.
I am no longer the authority here,
People curse the reason for my being.
Once I was the missionary of the Sun,
But the hour of my dethroning has come.
[Verse 2]
I was held up so high,
I had the best empire,
I used to rule the world.
Now I fear I fell from grace,
They don't wanna see my face.
I am no longer their Lord.
[Pre-chorus]
What has my reign brought?
Hunger, plague, besieged fort.
Let them send me to court.
[Chorus]
Do you hear me being called mad?
I can hear it, well, it's too late.
I am no longer the authority here,
People curse the reason for my being.
I am the missionary of the Sun,
But the hour of my dethroning has come.
[Bridge]
I ended up at the Bal des Ardents,
I was beloved a few years ago,
Now they think I'm madder than Charles VI.
I was made of glass and I can't be fixed.
[Chorus]
Do you hear how they wish me dead?
I do hear it, but it's too late.
I am no longer the authority here,
People curse the reason for my being.
They found me guilty, so I'm loathed
I'm dying 'cause I'm being dethroned.
[Post-chorus]
I was beloved a few years ago,
I ended up at the Bal des Ardents
They found me guilty, so I'm loathed
I'm dying 'cause I'm being dethroned.
I'm dying 'cause I'm being dethroned.
I'm dying 'cause I'm being dethroned.

Nightmares
song
[Verse 1]
The white noise is playing in my mind.
The black horse is carrying the black knight.
The crimson blood oozing from my sores.
The grey mass is an army of lost souls.
[Pre-chorus]
The whole world is pale as a corpse.
But everyone acts like no one knows.
[Chorus]
Well, look at my face
I'm out of my colours,
And only bleak shadows
Left.
It's not a tough case.
I'll paint a new picture
There'll be only a creature
Of my nightmares.
[Verse 2]
My blue days are slowly dragging on.
All the colours on the canvas are gone.
My heart faded and turned black.
In scarlet colours, people's hearts tend to break.
[Pre-chorus]
My soul shone with silver and gold.
But its paints were stolen and sold.
[Chorus]
Well, look at my face
I'm out of my colours,
And only bleak shadows
Left.
It's not a tough case.
