Once, I had an empire in a golden age I was held up so high, I used to be great
They used to cheer when they saw my face Now, I fear I have fallen from grace
* And I feel like my castle's crumbling down And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down You don't wanna know me now
Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty
Crowds would hang on my words and they trusted me
Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far I held that grudge 'til it tore me apart
Power went to my head and I couldn't stop Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off
And here I sit alone behind walls of regret Falling down like promises that I never kept
( * )
Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh (Ah, ah)
Ooh (Ah, ah) Ooh
My foes and friends watch my reign end I don't know how it could've ended this way
Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor People look at me like I'm a monster
Now they're screaming at the palace front gates Used to chant my name
Now they're screaming that they hate me Never wanted you to hate me
( * )
