The lights are out, the shades are down
He's got his scepter and his crown
He's waking up, and all alone,
He's sinking in the cushions of his throne
But all the gold in Macedon
Couldn't turn his head
He never saw the downfall coming
And he probably never cared
The king was overthrown
But he didn't even know it
He once was strong, he once was loved
He lifted everyone above
But his arms got tired, from the heavy load
And he was breaking under all the weight below
He sat down to take a breath
But never stood back up
And everthing was fine without him
So he just let it go
The king was overthrown
But he didn't even know it
He never even knew that he was done
He never even saw the setting sun fall down
He's living in the corners of his mind
The only thing alive was there behind his crown
No one had the heart to tell him that his time was through
